Strange 5 year old wallet

[fsvo]

Many posts here regarding unconfirmed sent transactions, I understand that problem.
But when I today opened this old wallet in the latest client i found 3 RECEIVED transaction from 2011 that are unconfirmed. I don't remember if or how but have to assume these coins were sent to me.

How can my wallet know about about receiving transactions when they are unconfirmed?

Providing info below, hope to learn what happend. Thanks!

The wallet stores transaction data in it. It is possible that you received these three transactions in 2011 and then you did not open the wallet again. The transactions never confirmed but since the wallet was not open, it did not know that. Thus, when you opened the wallet again today, it knows about these transactions because it is recorded in its wallet, but the rest of the network does not know about it.

when you opened the wallet again today, it knows about these transactions because it is recorded in its wallet, but the rest of the network does not know about it.

If the inputs to those transactions have NOT been spent, then you could re-broadcast the transactions and they might confirm.

If the inputs to those transactions HAVE been spent, then those transactions are no longer valid and you won't be able to receive those bitcoins at all.

See if you can retrieve the raw transactions from your wallet with the following in the wallet's console window:

getrawtransaction f829077c53cd3b3393b932f74c58044878bef1d686cc45a7288f813c640a9927

getrawtransaction 8876f21600e6cedb333de324008c4852e434c5e42d35127ba25482456798498a

getrawtransaction ca46bc879d85398459425f48b4a572a04974393f25c67e96151255ad8c64440e

When I do that I get:

Code:

23:17:13
getrawtransaction ca46bc879d85398459425f48b4a572a04974393f25c67e96151255ad8c64440e
23:17:13
No information available about transaction (code -5)

But I do have some more data about the transaction from a dump I did with pywallet. How would I rebroadcast?

It looks like your transaction f829077c53cd3b3393b932f74c58044878bef1d686cc45a7288f813c640a9927 spent bitcoins that were received in transaction 860a90abec976feca79b14f17b5c2d0e5c2fe16616940a4c3e799dd165bab622.

Unfortunately transaction 860a90abec976feca79b14f17b5c2d0e5c2fe16616940a4c3e799dd165bab622 doesn't seem to exist, so f829077c53cd3b3393b932f74c58044878bef1d686cc45a7288f813c640a9927 probably isn't a valid transaction.  If you know where to find transaction 860a90abec976feca79b14f17b5c2d0e5c2fe16616940a4c3e799dd165bab622, then we could look and see where it gets its bitcoins from and see if both that and your transaction can both be broadcast.

Without access to transaction 860a90abec976feca79b14f17b5c2d0e5c2fe16616940a4c3e799dd165bab622 there isn't going to be anything you can do.

Great help thanks so much! Giving up on this. I've checked the prevout_hash for all three and they don't exist.
I have no idea where these coins came from. Possibly another offline wallet I no longer control or a pool that no longer exist.
