Why Blockchain.info shows a different balance than Bitcoin-QT?
You may have noticed that your Blockchain.info Ethereum portfolio seems to have a different balance from your Bitcoin-QT portfolio. This discrepancy can be confusing, especially if you are used to managing multiple cryptocurrencies with the same portfolio supplier. In this article, we will deepen the reasons for this difference and explore how to resolve it.
What's going on?
When you import your Bitcoin-QT portfolio data into blockchain.info, the two portfolios are connected by a shared seed phrase or a private key. This means that the blockchain.info interface essentially uses a replica of your Bitcoin-QT balance. However, actual balances are stored in different places, which can lead to inconsistencies.
Why does it matter?
In the ecosystem of Ethereum, multiple portfolios can exist at one address (also known as "nickname at the address" or "alias"). When you import data from one portfolio to another, they essentially create a new, identical copy of your balance. This means that if you have two separate Ethereum portfolios related to blockchain.info, both portfolios can show the same balance.
Why is this difference remarkable?
The main reason for this discrepancy is probably due to the fact that Bitcoin-QT uses a different phrase of seeds or a private key from blockchain.info. When you import data from Bitcoin-QT into blockchain.info, the interface can use a slightly modified version of your Bitcoin-QT account information, which can lead to an inconsistent balance.
Solving the problem
To correct this mismatch, you need to update your Ethereum portfolio on blockchain.info to indicate the same address or alias used for your Bitcoin-QT portfolio. Here's how:
Update your Ethereum portfolio settings : Go to [myTherwallet] ( and click "Settings". Then select your Ethereum network (for example, mainnet).
Find the correct address
: Look for the address associated with your Bitcoin-QT portfolio in the Ethereum portfolio settings. This must be a unique identifier.
Update blockchain.info to use the same address
: Go to [blockchain.info] ( and move to "Wallets". Find the address you found in Step 2, then click it. Select "Copy" or "Edit" to make sure this is an accurate match.
Check the balance of your portfolio : Now that your Blockchain.info Ethereum portfolio is set with the correct address, you can check its balance using an instrument like [Ethereum Explorer] ( /). If all looks good, your Bitcoin-QT portfolio balance should still be accurate.
By solving this problem, you will have a hassle -free and constant experience that manages your Ethereum and Bitcoin assets on blockchain.info.
