# What are these deductions in my wallet?

Unexpected deductions of Siacoin from your Sia-UI wallet are not an immediate cause for concern. There are a few completely normal causes.

## **You are renting storage space, and the coins are paying for the storage space, as specified in your renter allowance.**

If you don't store any files, your coins will be returned to your wallet after the contract expires in three months.

## **You are hosting, and your coins are paying for collateral.**

If you are a good host (preserve uptime and preserve any files you are storing), your coins will be returned to your wallet after the contract expires in three months.

## **You may be running the same wallet (same seed) on multiple computers.**

This is not supported and can cause problems. You should delete both wallets and start over with fresh seeds. You can do this by clicking on the "Terminal" tab and typing \`wallet init --force\`. Then use the Recover Seed feature to restore your old seed to only one of the computers.

## **Something else may have gone wrong.**

If none of the above points describe your situation, you can delete your current wallet by clicking on the Terminal tab and typing:

`wallet init --force`

Then use the Recover Seed feature to restore your old seed to your new wallet. This should fix the problem.

## **Someone has access to your seed.**

This is the bad one. If someone has access to your 29-word seed, they can easily steal your Siacoin by loading it into another instance of Sia-UI. Keep your seed safe.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sia.tech/legacy/your-sia-wallet/wallet-troubleshooting/what-are-these-deductions-in-my-wallet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
