I'm seeking clarity on a perplexing matter regarding my Bitcoin-Qt wallet. Could you assist me in understanding why my current wallet does not seem to be originating from the same wallet I had previously? I had been actively using my Bitcoin-Qt wallet for some time, yet recently I noticed inconsistencies in the transaction history and balance, suggesting a possible disassociation with my original wallet. Is it possible that my wallet has been compromised or that I'm somehow accessing a different instance? I would greatly appreciate any insights or steps I can take to resolve this issue and ensure the safety of my digital assets.

Blockchain.info/wallet, as a wallet service, focuses on providing users with secure storage and access to their bitcoins without the ability to directly observe individual addresses.

On the other hand, Bitcoin.org clients like Bitcoin-Qt allow users to manage their bitcoins at a more granular level, including viewing and spending from specific addresses.

The origin of the transaction is not traceable to a single wallet on Blockchain.info/wallet, as the platform does not permit monitoring of individual addresses owned by users.

When conducting transactions, it's important to understand which wallet or client is being utilized to ensure funds are being spent from the intended source.

For instance, if a user wishes to spend bitcoins from an address associated with their Bitcoin.org client, they should initiate the transaction from that client, not from Blockchain.info/wallet.
