Thanks so much for taking the time to write an explanation. I'm a newb in all things BTC. At this point here I just want to sell more or less half of what I own and let the other half just sit and go for the ride!
The small amount I first transferred went over with one transaction fee. The balance of my wallet that sent afterwards (which came back with the conflict) is the one where the confirmations kept piling up as well as the fees being leeched.
Regarding letting the wallet synchronize, every time I open B Core the confirmations keep pilling up as do the fees so that's why I don't want the let the wallet sync because by the time that happens I may not have anything left. I'll include some edited screen caps if that helps. The last image is where the 'status' and confirmations keep changing by the second every time I reopen that panel.
Ok, i still don't have all the information i'd like to see, but there are a couple things i can tell you based on the screenshots:
- the transaction funding address 1Cx... is most probably confirmed... the miner's fee for this transaction is gone
- the transaction you made to the address with label "Quadrica 2" is using an output that has already been spent in the last 2.5 years (at least, that's the most likely explanation).
- you're ~2,5 years behind with syncing the blockchain. Since the transaction to "Quadrica 2" is using an output that has already been spent, it is VERY likely that there are more of your unspent output that have been spent. There is nothing you can do about it... Not syncing the blockchain will not help you (at all), it'll just hide the fact that the outputs were spent...
- the number of confirmations of all transactions will rise the more blocks you download... New transactions will probably appear (either funding your addresses, or spending)... Just remember you're looking at historic data, everything you'll see happening has already happened a long time ago, you just didn't download the history up untill now...
If you're really not confortable syncing the blockchain, you could (potentially) do the following things:
- disconnect your network
- start bitcoind or bitcoin-qt
- go to the debug window (in bitcoin-qt) and enter "listunspent"
- you'll get a list with unspent outputs up untill the last time you sync'ed your wallet... Write down the addresses
- look up the balance of those addresses on blockchain.info
- IF you find addresses that still have unspent outputs (addresses with a positive balance), let me know and i'll walk you trough the steps of exporting your private keys and importing them into electrum (in this case, just send me a PM, you can include addresses and transaction id's, but NEVER include private keys)
