Blockchain sending entire btc balance?

Hm, that's interesting, do you have the TX number? Because the remaining balance being sent to a separate address is normal, I think it's referred to as a change address, and it should be an address that is in your Blockchain wallet, so they send the $100 to your nitro deposit address and the rest of your balance is instantly sent right back to your wallet you sent from. You usually wouldn't even know that a change address was used unless you look up your transaction ID and check the break down of where you sent your payment and how much, and see how much and where the remainder of your balance was sent back to your wallet. Hopefully that makes sense.

I log back in and it's saying I sent the entire $370 balance.. i'm like hmm ok, that's odd, pretty certain I didn't do that, i only sent $100, but let me see how much Nitro credits me with. As expected, they only credit me the $100 (which is all I sent).

i'm looking at the transaction summary on blockchain and now I see the $100 i sent to nitro, and then the remaining $272 listed as a separate transaction going to another btc address?

I've done this simple blockchain to Nitro transaction so many times, most of the time it's not my entire balance, and have never had an issue. Anyone have any idea what may have happened?

is it still in your blockchain wallet? They create a new address and send your remaining balance there.

As they said above, it's back in your wallet as change.
