Title: Transaction unconfirmed for a month now 4 BTC

To: walletbit 18yDJnQbAxs9UYwgEQyL5yqPwkEYuZJ212
Debit: -4.20 BTC
Transaction fee: -0.0005 BTC
Net amount: -4.2005 BTC
Transaction ID: dfc9786370487c241da51215ad61076cf2d9b324fdda6c3b42abd7e5cf3f6ac2


This transaction never was confirmed. I send 4.2 BTC from my offline wallet to wallet bit. At the time I have other unconfirmed transactions ( satoshidice....never again). Are these BTC lost forever? Is there a way to manually confirm a transaction. I will gladly pay 0.1 BTC to who can help me confirm the transaction.



Thanks!

If you keep the client open for a while it should rebroadcast it, shouldnt it?

Or try running bitcoin-qt.exe -rescan

Either:

 - That is an invalid transaction
 - No miner has ever bothered to confirm it

That transaction will never confirm, the transaction funding it is not present and the balance of the bitcoin address is zero. Satoshidice sent you 0 confirmation coins that never confirmed and you spent them. You should remove all unconfirmed transactions from your wallet with pywallet.py -web and then restart bitcoin-qt -rescan to see if there is any balance restored to your wallet.

If you feel like gambling in the future, send money to the address in my signature and I'll bet you the same amount that you send that I won't send it back.

That's what I thought. I added a few BTc to that wallet to see if that would help...no luck bye bye 4 BTC. Thaks a lot for the explanation! Now I'm ready to move on
