I seem to have lost some funds, and being green at the whole bitcoin thing, I'd really appreciate some help getting them back. I'm totally confused and a bit despondent.
On March 8th, I sent 13.612 BTC (which appeared in my bitcoin-qt client v0.7.2 as confirmed) to a newly created wallet in Armory with the address 17hzeZ8gKwLAHASyh85S5FSNYAFsexPAyk. To date, the BTC are still unconfirmed and the Armory wallet shows a balance of 0.0
Here's the transaction info from the bitcoin-qt client
Status: 0/unconfirmed Date: 8/03/2013 14:43 To: 17hzeZ8gKwLAHASyh85S5FSNYAFsexPAyk Debit: -13.612 BTC Net amount: -13.612 BTC Transaction ID: 3ea177ce0db93b9bbbdc2286f5ca08e038a364db704205250d253d704a67d6a1"
Can someone please help me get these back?

You can delete that transaction from your wallet with pywallet

The address 17hzeZ8gKwLAHASyh85S5FSNYAFsexPAyk never got any bitcoins sent into it. That transaction never happened, as far as the network is concerned. Do you still have the wallet.dat from where you sent that transaction? If you do have it, you may delete the failed transaction(3ea177ce0db93b9bbbdc2286f5ca08e038a364db704205250d253d704a67d6a1) from it using pywaltet and be able to spend the coins again, in a new transaction. Ofcourse, without knowing where did the coins came from we can't tell you if they're still there to spend, or if it was a double spend or something else.

I have NO idea how this happened , but I just received these BTC, only minutes after posting this .Thank you bitcoin gods, wherever you are EDIT: WTF? I just closed Armory down to restart my laptop, and now it seems they've GONE again!! When I received them I had a popup window come up saying 13.612 BTC had been received, I saw the balance was in my account. Now they're not there! EDIT: Oops, here they are, back again...this is fun, like being on a bloody roller coaster...... The 13.612 BTC are showing up as unconfirmed, and for some reason the transaction consisted of 27 Transaction Inputs. As I said I'm a bit green at all this, can someone tell me a) can I still use pywallet to get the BTC back and b) how the hell do I do that? thanks lots

No, they aren't back again (they never were). There is no transaction at the address of your Armory wallet: https://blockchain.info/address/17hzeZ8gKwLAHASyh85S5FSNYAFsexPAykEither Armory is dreaming of transactions, or the popup was not from Armory, or you sent to/gave us the wrong address... or you're overlooking something else.

I'm confused...not for the first time, I guess The popup was deinitely from armory, and the balance is still showing there. https://i.imgur.com/Nw6mBJ3.jpgI tried installing pywallet but that didn't go too well either (sigh) .. https://i.imgur.com/Eav1oVU.jpgDoes pywallet work on 64 bit machines?

pywallet definitely works on 64-bit machines, at least Linux ones. That looks more like a problem with the installer than with the pywallet application itself. Try downloading it again as the installer may be corrupt.

Okay, I think I deleted the transaction. I didn't have the transaction hash, so I used the 'Bitcoin address' in pywallet, was that correct? I then started bitcin-qt with the -rescan option, however the outgoing transaction still appears, and the bitcoins don't I'm still quite in the dark about all this and would sincerely appreciate any help I can get...

Using pywallet, dump your wallet You will see lots of things including your keys, and transactions (At the bottom, that contains tx something) I think that if you search (Ctrl-F) '3ea177ce0db93b9bbbdc2286f5ca08e038a364db704205250d253d704a67d6a1' in the pywallet web page it will find it Then you have the txid
BTW isn't 3ea177ce0db93b9bbbdc2286f5ca08e038a364db704205250d253d704a67d6a1 the txid?

I just hope you backed up your wallet before starting to delete things with pywallet. Remember, always work with backups.

Ok, what you can do: - close bitcoin - rename your old wallet.dat - run the last version of pywallet (must say 'Pywallet Web Interface v2.0b8-bt' at the top of the web page) - go to pywallet's "Dump your keys" - put "secret,label" in "Data to print" (see pywallet.tk to know how to fill the other fields) - hit "Dump keys" - open (with notepad) the file you put in "Output file" to check that all your private keys are there (if there's a problem you'll see lots of "#ERROR#" or something like that, in that case check the wallet path) - then run bitcoin again, it will create a new wallet as you renamed the old one - close it when it is launched - go to pywallet's "Import keys" - put the new wallet path (file=wallet.dat, directory should be default) - put the file containing the private keys in "CSV file path" - hit "Import keys" - wait a bit - open bitcoin and enjoy your cleaned wallet

Just out of curiosity, does that transaction show up in the bitcoin-qt ledger?
