It seems like majority of the network has already dropped your transaction from their mempool. For Bitcoin Core, you need to manually remove the transaction before you can make a new transaction to send to your Electrum address.

To do so, open a command prompt and type either of the commands:
For 32bit Bitcoin Core:

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -zapwallettxes

For 64bit Bitcoin Core:

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -zapwallettxes

.

You have not to write the quotes, you need to paste or write it without the quotes like C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -zapwallettxes

just use the run command (shortcut Win + R). same command unless you installed core on a custom directory.

this is still not solved. Whoever will offer solution that will work for me will receive 0.3 BTC from me

[LoyceV]

Judging from your post history you've been struggling with this since October last year?

this is still not solved. Whoever will offer solution that will work for me will receive 0.3 BTC from me

Alternative solution:
In Bitcoin Core, click Help > Debug window > Console

IF you set a password, type this:
walletpassphrase yourpassword 600

THEN type:
dumpprivkey <address that holds the 6 BTC>
Import the private key into Electrum.

My Bitcoin address is in my profile

Ill give it a shot once my wallet is synced (167 weeks behind...), will be few days

Zapwallettxes is only available for Bitcoin Core 0.10 and above. That may be the reason why it isn't working?

Try updating it and trying my command again.

You don't need to sync Bitcoin Core to export a private key.

You started this thread in May, does that mean your wallet wasn't synced at that moment?

clarification needed ... keep in my mind you have to exactly tell me what to do since im clueless 
I found Help - Debug - Console in my Bitcoin Qt Wallet.
Why would I set password there? I know my password.
So I just use that dump command there?

That is the main problem here. Bitcoin Qt was the earlier version of Bitcoin Core and no one should be using a version that is that old. Go to https://bitcoin.org/en/download and you should be able to upgrade by downloading and installing a newer version.

I wouldn't recommend anyone that doesn't know Bitcoin a lot to handle private key by themselves. Anyway, if you really wish to continue, you are not setting your password there, you are unlocking your wallet.

So, key in:
walletpassphrase password843 600           

<To unlock your wallet with the password of password843 for 600 seconds>
dumpprivkey 1myaddressthatIwanttoexport

<To get the private key of your address.>

After this, just copy the private key (starting with 5 or K or L). You can choose to "sweep" the wallet and all of the value will be transferred to your wallet. Just go to Wallet>Private Keys and you should be able to sweep your address. Just paste your private key into the dialog and select an address by pressing the address button and it should be swept to your wallet.

Please make a backup of your private key before doing this. Consider trying to upgrade your Bitcoin Core first and use this method as a last resort.

this is how it went in console...

That's not a valid bitcoin address. Where did you get that?
Also you can skip the walletpassphrase if you don't have a passphrase for your wallet (it's always recommended to use a passphrase though).

You don't need that address, you need the address holding the coins. That is the address where you sent it from, not to.

Judging by your whole story, and judging by how long you've been struggling with it: can't you get help from someone locally? Someone you trust, who knows what he is doing, and can help you just on your location?

no one local knows bitcoins at all. Can I find out address "From" when I sync old wallet? Will it show up there in transactions or somewhere else?

[steven0021]

So 1FFWn3rgS6JSREQvpSKr7P6AU5TUELjMgt is actually 1FFWn3rgS6JSREQvpSKr7P6AU5TUELjMgT. Bitcoin addresses are case sensitive.

no one local knows bitcoins at all. Can I find out address "From" when I sync old wallet? Will it show up there in transactions or somewhere else?

Your addresses with balance are listed under File > Sending addresses. Your screenshot shows that transaction so that means you've already synced. You should be able to see the from address you used unless you've deleted your block data.

Edit:
Hmm. You sure you didn't get the bitcoins to https://blockchain.info/address/16ukC1ftC1WLxmTmb8Wpi1vjKUAMoNpCk already? I see two 6BTC transactions and two 4.6999233BTC transactions which kinda look like double spends.
