Description

The balance showed for my LBC address on the block explorer is incorrect. As of July 8th 2020 at 7:38 AM EST, my wallet balance was 1,875.75226 LBC.

However, it showed on the [block explorer](https://explorer.lbry.com/address/bM45ay34Gu7DnF2rwXgFkF64QohAevw9LD) as 1,231.856047 LBC which is incorrect.

As far as I can tell, my address hasn't changed or anything (and I don't know how I'd do that with a lbry wallet).

I'm not sure if this is happening with other wallets.

Research direction

Start with the block explorer address page linked in the report and compare its displayed balance with the wallet balance and screenshots provided. Investigate how the explorer obtains the address balance and determine whether the discrepancy can be reproduced for this address or other wallets. Done means the explorer reports the correct balance or the cause and scope of the discrepancy are documented.
