OP UPDATING! Was away for a while and I'm just now getting back up to speed on the latest happenings with BTC.
My thinking is the coins never actually existed. I dumped the private keys and rescanned the wallet, the balance returned to 0, and the unconfirmed transactions vanished. The Tx IDs, when looked up on blockchain.info return nothing.
The wallet is too big to import into blockchain.info. Is there any other ways of attempting to getting the coins back or are they gone? I distinctly remember having a similar problem a year ago and I managed to recover coins.

1. what is the address holding the 20BTC?
2. is it transaction of satoshidicke sending back a prize?
3. is the wallet damaged?
if it is a transaction sent but never confirmed i is possible to create raw transaction using same inputs. Think about it as double spend. Also the pywallet is still supported by JackJack.
They are all transactions to satoshidice. They aren't all concurrant transactions, they're spaced out and of a small enough amount that I didn't take too much notice at the time, as I was playing with some huge amounts. (Note to self, the martingale NEVER works in the long term). I made several backups, I'm going to try and delete the transactions using pywallet and rescan. Is this an appropriate course of action? I don't think the wallet is damaged. Screenshot of one of the transactions. http://imgur.com/3WUPNdD |

I just found an old wallet on a recovered crashed drive from 2012 with almost 20BTC worth of unconfirmed satoshidice transactions. I looked them up in blockchain and there's no record of them having occurred, with the client's blockchain fully updated
hate the break it to you: the 20 BTC in your wallet is undependable. the transactions have not confirmed since 2012 and are not in any client's transaction list. unless they're in a block, you can't spend them. How would I determine if this is the case and what's the best way to attempt to recover them? |

I remember having a similar issue a long time ago and It resulted in me recovering the funds but I can't remember if the specifics are the same or how it was done. What can I do about this issue? (EDIT: I believe it was done with pywallet but I have no idea if it's even still being maintained) I'm still in disbelief. If this is real I'm going to be so fucking happy.  |

Everything came through, I got 5.8 BTC from a 5 BTC investment. Nice steady profit.
I just wanted to give you a BIG thank you for being so patient and helpful over the time I've invested with GBF, and for treating me with just as much care as you would a large investor.

Here is a copy of my wallet.dat, the password was changed to something random. I don't trust my technical ability with the command line enough to do those steps, so if someone else on this forum could that would be great. http://www.filedropper.com/wallet (No viruses or anything of the sort. Just my wallet.dat exported. Open it in a VM if you don't believe me.) So if anybody could help me get to the bottom of this wallet problem and get my BTC back it would be awesome. I'll even toss a few BTC your way. |

Wow, I have to say that a good 50% of that goes way over my head, and I don't want to screw anything up. You're pretty reputable, would you be willing to recover these double spends? I'd be willing to pay you 2BTC if you're successful.
Let me know what you think.

If this is a double spend issue is it possible to get my coins back using pywallet,
If there are unspent funds for any addresses, you can transfer those keys to a new wallet, rescan, and the funds will show and can be spent. You don't need pywallet for doing this, standard bitcoind has everything you need. Step 1.) Make sure you have a good backup of your existing wallet. Step 2.) Extract keys from existing wallet. - http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/3532/153 (first set of instructions) Step 3.) Close the client, move existing wallet out of the way, and relaunch which creates a new, empt wallet. Step 4.) Import keys - http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/3532/153 (second set of instructions) I don't remember if you need to start the client with -rescan after. It doesn't hurt if you do. I'm not the most technically inclined person, you're going to have to explain it in a little more detail.  From what I've gathered bitcoind is a command line bitcoin client. Is it bundled with bitcoin Qt, or do I have to download it seperately? If it's bundled, where would I go about finding and starting it on mac OSX? |

How would I go about resetting my bitcoin client without losing these 'in limbo' transactions? SatoshiDICE never got the transactions because they were never accepted by the network. There is nothing SatoshiDICE can or should do as the Bitcoin transactions for your wagers never confirmed. Now why this is happening? What appears to be happening is that your client has some double spend transactions. That can happen a few ways accidentally (e.g., you have two copies of your wallet.dat and are making spend transactions from both) or purposely (you have a script that tries to wager with SatoshiDICE and then also attempt to double spend the bets that lose via race attack, Finney attack, etc. There are even situations where if you were specifically targeted, you could see funds on one confirmation but then when you spend them they are invalid -- but that is pretty easily preventable. Here are the various methods: - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Double-spending#Attack_vectorsSo, the end result is you have wagers that never got processed and never will. Unfortunately, the Bitcoin.org client doesn't deal well with these -- there is no way to manually remove the transactions using bitcoind. The easiest thing to do would be to send your remaining funds to a new address in a new wallet and start clean. A way to fix the wallet you have involves perofrming wallet surgery to remove the offending private keys (using pywallet) and then rescan. My wallet was only ever used on one computer, and I haven't been making intentional double spends. No scripts either. If this is a double spend issue is it possible to get my coins back using pywallet, or are they lost for good? Could you go into a little more detail on how I can remove these private keys using pywallet? |

Hey,
I have some family videos that were sent from my relatives in Ukraine. I'm not sure if they're in Ukranian or Russian since I don't speak the languages, but I'm wondering if you would be willing to translate them. There's 3-4 of them, about 30 minutes of video in total. Not all of it is speaking though.
Let me know what you think.

Well, after a couple week break from Satoshi dice, I decided to buy another 30 BTC and try it again. I don't know if it's good luck or a good strategy, but after betting many, much smaller sums I ended up making 58 BTC.
I am determined not to lose this. I beat the odds twice and I'm not going to be a poor gambler and try to double or triple it like I did last time. I'm more informed about the odds of satoshi dice and know that the odds will get even worse if I put these coins back into the system. So, where do you guys think I should put these coins? I've been thinking of putting it all into either pirate bonds or the gamma bitcoin fund, but don't know if there's a better option out there.
Is there something like Satoshi dice where you can instantly or near instantly speculate on the bitcoin market? I want to get out of playing with chances and start making informed bets where skill matters.

Well, you guys were right. I ended up losing it all in a couple big bets, then I got back up to 30 BTC before losing most of it with the martingale strategy. Now I'm at zero. It's a weird feeling, to go from $0 to making $1000, then back to zero in a few days. Maybe I'll try Satoshi's dice again, but I've learned to quit while on top, since it's incredibly easy to lose massive sums of bitcoins QUICK.
I guess I just answered my original question. This is how the site stays afloat.

Maybe you're right, I'm back down to 50 BTC right now. Big bets are terrible when you lose.  I'm still trying though! |

Is this normal? Well, it's 1.9% less normal than to lose 100 BTC. You should probably stop now. If not: Be sure to post when you lose. It's not good to have gamblers speak only when they're on a winning streak. Will do! I'm thinking of stopping when I hit 150 BTC. That'll give me enough bitcoins to buy some cool stuff from the forums and invest some for the long term. That is, if I don't lose it by then. Besides, I wouldn't want to let evorhees go hungry with my luck |

Woah, that's amazing. What was the bet? Or was that from one of the progressive games?

If that's true, then how did I get 100BTC? I still can't get my head around that.  And how much have you spent? I started with 30 BTC. I made it to 100 BTC without going into the red. |

Martingale strategy is the process of burying yourself into one big pile of shit.
Thats the most direct way of understand what you did on satoshidice.
If that's true, then how did I get 100BTC? I still can't get my head around that. |
