Hi.  
Can somebody explain why my transparent balance become negative in blockchain explorer?  
At the same time in my wallet I see zero balance.

Is this is a bug or a normal situation ?

Hi @Kuzbekov - that is a bug on Zchain’s side; probably a transaction that failed to sync to the DB for some reason.

I’ll look into it and get back to you ASAP - don’t worry, your wallet is fine.

In addition i found another specified missed transactions in explorer.zcha.in

Looks like main zcash blockchain explorer have some troubles with chain sync 😕

Do you have a plan when you going to fix that problem or it`s too complicated ?  
I found other thread with same problem. For example: [Where block ?! WTF ?!](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/where-block-wtf/23786)

This issue should be fixed. For anyone building a Zcash block explorer in the future I recommend using the Zcash Bitcore fork (if that’s up-to-date), syncing the blockchain state with SQL is complicated and rather slow.
