I have locally running `bcoin` node in `testnet` and acquired test bitcoins through faucet. Now, when calling balance check via `bcoin cli wallet balance` (when synchronization completed) I always receiving following result:

```
{
  "wid": 1,
  "id": "primary",
  "account": -1,
  "unconfirmed": 550722654,
  "confirmed": 550722654
}

```

I see that wallet contains amount but a bit confused that `unconfirmed` field contains the same value as `confirmed` one. Is it correct?
