So, my client isn't able to get the block chain because of how I set my clock on my computer (I think it's crappy, but I don't care).
Anyways, if someone would volunteer to get the coins out of the wallet.dat and send me at least 3 BTC.
I have a feeling I'll get jacked of all the BTC, but I'm tired of knowing it's there.

Please send me a PM if you'd like to help. I'm looking for members that I think would be trustworthy.

why don't you just get the private keys from the wallet and put it in blockchain.info and then send the bitcoins from there to yourself
I can't get python to work right on this computer.

Okay, I've sent the wallet to an undisclosed user and hope to hear back soon.

You don't need python or pywallet for it.
You just need to use bitcoind and the new dumpprivkey command Wink
I don't think you need a full blockchain for it. Ofcourse I can be mistaken.

You could have had that user publicly accept responsibility.

I would if it was more than 10 BTC.
But, it's all good and the Bitcoins got transferred without any problems.
That user may post a reply and I will give them credit for helping.

Glad I could help!

Buy a TREZOR! Premier BTC hardware wallet. If you're reading this, you should probably buy one if you don't already have one. You'll thank me later.

So, my client isn't able to get the block chain because of how I set my clock on my computer (I think it's crappy, but I don't care).

I hadn't known about this.  So would it retrieve blocks but then get to a certain block and stop?

How were you able to troubleshoot / determine this was the cause?

Would downloading a completed blockchain from the nightly "skip" past checking and have let you continue on your merry way (until the next problem block?)

It would let me download the whole blockchain up until what my clock use to be set to which is 6 hours time difference, but wouldn't remove the error message saying "blah blah, wont work unless your computers clock is fixed." I didn't want to setup a bitcoin client on another computer, which resulted in my asking for help here.

Just set your dang clock correctly. Get the time you want to display by picking the appropriate timezone.  So long as the time+timezone results in the correct time bitcoin will work fine. You can also set it back when you're done if you really insist on having a clock set >2 hours in the past.

This has long since been resolved by re-configuring my firewall's OpenNTP server.

It was a spur of the moment thing that I couldn't figure out. Anyways, I did attempt to temporarily set my clock to the correct time but half way through the update on the blocks it error'ed and gave the same error as before.
Again, this has been fixed on my end and is now working correctly.
