I’m new to bitcoin, but something happened recently that confused me.
I bought 0.02 bitcoin at coinbase. On Nov 11 I sent 0.01 bitcoins to my wallet. I then sent the rest to my wallet on Nov. 18. For the Nov. 11 transaction there was a miner fee of 0.00098
There are a two things that are strange about this:
-
The transaction I got from coinbase (or at least, the transaction that shows up now…) says that coinbase sent 19.2344 bitcoins out, and I got 0.01 of those and someone else got 19.2244. This is not what I expected. I would have expected a transaction of 0.01098 split 0.01 to me and 0.00098 to someone else.
-
Much more strange is that I received this 0.01 twice! I received it the day I requested it (or the next day, transactions were taking hours!) and then I received it again into my wallet on Nov. 18 (in addition to my second withdrawal.) I received it into my wallet on Nov. 18 and the transaction ID is the same one that coinbase has listed in my wallet there for Nov. 11.
I basically received 0.03 bitcoins from coinbase when I only ever had 0.02. Can anyone shed some light on what is going on here?
