Balance confirmed - but unconfirmed and confirmed balances are identical?

General

I have managed to update the blockchain to the current block height.

@aszepieniec I check my confirmed-available-balance using neptune-cli. It shows the correct balance. I then checked the unconfirmed-available-balance and it showed the same amount as the confirmed balance. The funds were sent to my wallet weeks again and appeared to have been confirmed at the time.

Why are the confirmed and unconfirmed balances identical? Is this an issue? Do I need to resolve it in some way? Thanks.

There are two reasons why the confirmed and unconfirmed balances might be different:

  1. You initiated a transaction and that transaction has not been confirmed yet.
  2. You are the beneficiary of a transaction and that transaction has not been confirmed yet.

If your confirmed and unconfirmed balances are identical, then most likely there is no transaction affecting your balance that is about to be confirmed.

The transaction you are referring to may live on an orphaned branch. Did you record the block hash or height of the confirming block?

I misunderstood. I assumed that the unconfirmed balance should be 0 if all transactions are confirmed and that only the confirmed balance would show the correct amount. I see from your comment that the confirmed and unconfirmed balances should be identical if all transactions have been confirmed - which is the case. Thank you for the explanation.
