I'm thoroughly confused and a little worried, as I appear to have stuffed up somewhere along the line.

 After a bit of a gambling session on SatoshiDice I sent 50 BTC to a wallet I created @ blockchain.info then tried to send them back to my Bitcoin-qt client. 36 or so hours later they still showed up as unconfirmed. I did some reading here and decided to take what one poster called the 'lazy man's approach' and import my bitcoin-qt wallet into a new one at blockchain.info. But when I did that my balance in the new wallet was only .0000001 BTC!

Here's my bitcoin-qt wallet:

and here's the new wallet:

Can someone please let me know what's going on? I'm completely lost...

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

According to http://blockchain.info/address/1CGXqKGNRftuoivVqyz7HKkmgSaQqgYwc7 no bitcoins have been sent to that address.

Check your blockchain wallet and look at your history to check that you sent coins to that address.

I have three addresses in my qt client, but I'm pretty sure it was from this one - 1HswYkBpPKdwfjh1CNosZEByTm5gdKgWK5.

The other two are 1Ku3K296rDi4CTXTiacC8kAp8q5tkb28NM & 1KbUKTJsm4zA6YKUH5SXGDxKVCpJEhfkew

thanks for helping BTW..

So long as you have the private keys to all 3 addresses in question than there should be nothing to worry about (unless you sent coins to an incorrect address accidentally)

Import all 3 private keys into blockchain and see if any of them have btc on them imo.

here's the transaction from my qt client: https://i.imgur.com/vEu5BF9.jpg


This screen shot shows a transaction from January ?

The address that coins were sent to has never been used ?

The transaction does not appear in the block chain ?

Please cut and past the transaction number here just in case I did not type it in correctly (I had to read it from the picture and type it in - very error prone).

Let's search for that transaction.  Why is the date 1/3/2013?  Are you just now noticing that a transaction you initiated that long ago has not gone through?

Also do you know what address the BTC came from?  You may not know this.  If we have the correct transaction number we should be able to see it.

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security.  Read all about it here:  http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/  Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

50BTC was never received at the address 1HswYkBpPKdwfjh1CNosZEByTm5gdKgWK5

http://blockchain.info/address/1HswYkBpPKdwfjh1CNosZEByTm5gdKgWK5

Those two transactions that show on bitcoin-qt were never broadcasted to the network.

K. So what happened to my bitcoins, and more importantly, how do I get them back?

Sure not a problem! private keys are the fundamental unit that "stores" bitcoin. (yes i know that isnt technically true but its easier to visualize this way) Those wallet files are just database files that contain a series of private keys. Every address has a unique corresponding private key, you talked about 3 different addresses in your explanation. Each one of these addresses has a private key. But lets just start with the addresses. can you list all 3 of the addresses that you talked about here a) the one that you sent from initially b) the one that you sent to the first time c) the one that you attempted to send coins to that didnt confirm

We can look up all 3 of these addresses on blockchain.info, if the coins are on one of these addresses than you just have to find the private key. If they are not on any of these addresses than you are almost certainly boned (unless you accidentally sent the coins to an incorrect address that you happen to also own)

I have three addresses in my qt client, but I'm pretty sure it was from this one - 1HswYkBpPKdwfjh1CNosZEByTm5gdKgWK5.

The other two are 1Ku3K296rDi4CTXTiacC8kAp8q5tkb28NM & 1KbUKTJsm4zA6YKUH5SXGDxKVCpJEhfkew

By the way, the total value of the above addresses is around 50btc, is this your missing coins?

thanks for helping BTW..

Why is the date 1/3/2013?  .

I'm in Australia, 1/3/2013 means 1st March this side of the pond.

I guess, but why are they showing up as unconfirmed in my qt client, and how do I fix that?

No they weren't. Please, I'd rather get real info on this rather than speculation.

Yeah only Americans and Canadians are a bit confused ( YYYY/MM/DD and DD/MM/YYYY make sense, MM/DD/YYYY does not Wink)
