This transaction never was confirmed. I send 4.2 BTC from my offline wallet to wallet bit. At the time I have other unconfirmed transactions ( satoshidice....never again). Are these BTC lost forever? Is there a way to manually confirm a transaction. I will gladly pay 0.1 BTC to who can help me confirm the transaction.



Thanks!

If you keep the client open for a while it should rebroadcast it, shouldnt it?

Or try running bitcoin-qt.exe -rescan

Thanks Largo! Yes, I have tried to run it with bitcoin-qt.exe -rescan I've also upgraded to version 8, delete the blockchain log and downloaded it al over again...still nothing : (

Either:

 - That is an invalid transaction
 - No miner has ever bothered to confirm it

Thanks whiskers, but could you elaborate?

That transaction will never confirm, the transaction funding it is not present and the balance of the bitcoin address is zero. Satoshidice sent you 0 confirmation coins that never confirmed and you spent them. You should remove all unconfirmed transactions from your wallet with pywallet.py -web and then restart bitcoin-qt -rescan to see if there is any balance restored to your wallet.

If you feel like gambling in the future, send money to the address in my signature and I'll bet you the same amount that you send that I won't send it back.

That's what I thought. I added a few BTc to that wallet to see if that would help...no luck bye bye 4 BTC. Thaks a lot for the explanation! Now I'm ready to move on
