Hello,
I have a wallet that I use for Sat Dice with a very small amount of BTC. I am showing 1.85x BTC unconfirmed since Feb 17-18th.
When I look at the transaction ID I do not see any information. Is it just gone at this point? I am not sure what else to check.

Any thoughts? Thanks

Are you using the Bitcoin.org client (e.g., Bitcoin-Qt)?

The bitcoin.org client doesn't easily let you get in this situation (unless you have the wallet holding your private keys running in two different places simultaneously perhaps.

With the Bitcoin.org client (e.g., Bitcoin-Qt) the only way to remove a transaction that ended up being a double spend is to use pywallet and remove all transactions and then launch the Bitcoin.org [Edit: Bitcoin-Qt] client and let it reindex the trasnsactions.

As far as that transaction -- it no longer is known by the bitcoin network, so it never reached six confirmations.  There's no ability to tell if it was a double spend or if it just didn't confirm because of too small a fee, or whatever.   It's gone now though, that's certain.

Yes I am using Qt.
When you say use PYWallet can that program "point" to my wallet.dat file?
I only have one wallet on one dekstop machine and one blockchain wallet.

There are actually four total transactions that did not get processed. I did not do anything unusual just played a few rounds of SD.

This is a losing one

Pywallet is a tool that can perform wallet surgery against your wallet.dat.  You execute it in the same directory as your wallet.dat.  You'll want to back up the wallet.dat prior to doing any work with pywallet.

I only have one wallet on one dekstop machine and one blockchain wallet.


Which client was used to create the spend transction, Bitcoin-Qt or Blockchain.info/wallet?

So that transaction doesn't show on the network.  Was that the wager transaction?  And if so, does it currently show 0/unconfirmed?   If so, that is a problem and performing wallet surgery with pywallet is probably your only resolution.

Thanks for the information

Yes all of the transactions are wagers.
I used Bitcoin-QT for everything. I see a lot of people with scripts that run every second producing thousands of transactions without issue. I only had 11 total transactions, the only reason I have a Block Chain account is because I tried to rebuild my wallet after this happened. I could be wrong but I could swear I had plenty of coins to cover the transactions.

They all save 0 of six confirmations. Not that it's huge money but this would mean SD would not get their coins either which is odd.

I will try the pywallet I guess there is a switch to remove all transactions.
