Bitcoin core imbalance: Mempool and Wallet.dat Balance Comparison
Bitcoin fans are essential to maintain control of their keys. However, the differences in the balance of money can be frustrating, especially if they understand the differences between two separate devices: “Mempoool.space” and “Bitcoin Core” (BTC). In this article, we are immersed in a recent issue that influences the wallets created with different versions of Bitcoin Core.
Problem
The problem arises from how the Bitcoin Core 27.1 manages the balance sheet of the previous version of the wallet, BTC 22.0. Specifically, the balance shown by Mempool.Space looks larger than a file located on the Wallet.dat page, which Bitcoin Core Client uses to store user specific data.
Source code
For a better understanding of the problem, we will take a closer look at the source code of both money. According to the Bitcoin Core storage, [1] and Mempoool.Space [2], the difference is based on the balance sheet.
22.0 Wallet.dat file was stored as a balance of the sliding comma (Float64). However, when it was updated to Bitcoin Core 27.1, this value was changed to a full number (INT64 “.
Comparison
To illustrate the difference, let’s examine two wallets: one with BTC 22.0 and the other with BTC 27.1.

As shown above, the Mempool.Space balance looks higher than the Wallet.dat balance.
Conclusion
The difference between the monetary balance between Mempoool.Space and Bitcoin Core may be due to the change in each cash source code. In this case, the change from the ILLOAT64 (Float64) to the IT64 (IT64) is likely to be the difference between the Bitcoin Core 27.1 balance screens.
Consumers who value accuracy and accuracy by monitoring their wallets can help prevent these differences and ensure that all operations should be taken into account.
