First I thought that was another troll , then I saw the topic is from 2012, then that SR1 and maybe the Dread Pirate Robert himself posted here,
This topic belongs to the story of BTC
Topic: can't restore wallet with over 40k btc in it. Please HELP! - page 2. (Read 8143 times)
just now saw this thread and read the full conversation and after 3 yrs found a news that the OP was a silk route money laundering and he got some problem with wallet and his computer and got solved through this forum member and he paid him the bounty amount. very interesting.
so it was not an early adopter who needed help. go figure right? small world.

Followup: the address in question represented Silk Road 1 profits/balances https://www.reddit.com/r/SilkRoad/comments/3r3s81/how_ulbricht_paid_100_to_learn_about_bitcoind/
The address in the OP is almost certainly one that belong(ed) to SilkRoad1. The OP sent 44k BTC via 7269a8ebe71559e6337cab93fe75340dca91deeeed2af11be86affc9a23b50ab to ba3d545781, which received ~6k BTC via 39f3c6fa684bfe3413cd35179687c6ba04df1649d7427e74118c8bd88c30d7d8 only ~30 minutes later, and the wallet that tx sent "from" belongs to SilkRoad1

So how the heck did he manage to organize a whole silk road, Ross Ulbricht, and he didn't know about as basic function as bitcoind-rescan. I don't get it.
He was honest enough to send that reward of 100 bitcoins though. Much respect for that!

Pretty awesome story bro. I too have some coins in cold storage and sometimes freak out that I'll never see them again.
Can't a man spend 100 BTC in peace? 
It's not as if the forum doesn't contain plenty of threads where this procedure was already outlined....

An honest man. You earned a lot of respect today!
Do you also own the other addresses that end in .031337 BTC?
what addresses are those?

top 10, grats
Geez! I bet those were mined with a CPU too!
nice. a lot faster than calling india also.
Hell yeah, fcmatt Congrats.
Congrats.
got the coins. that was supremely generous of you.
good luck with your sizable fortune of BTC! I am jealous of that wallet.

Matt apparently just made 100 btc, seems like a good days work (~1k dollars).
I would be very amazed to find out I actually get 100 btc out of this.
In case I do here is my address: 18MjdXpTyek3ESTPc2HCQnATv1jY4acUeR
I am trying to think what to do next if this does not work for the OP.
Now you could delete everything (always have a backup of wallet.dat no matter what) and start over. Delete meaning the
blockchain and everything else except the client but basically that was already done.
So what else could be the problem? Hmm
You do realise if what you suggest doesn't work, and what you just suggested now, is what my original suggestion was.
Guess where that btc should go
I admit the rescan should work.true. i got lucky and just happened on this thread at the right time. starting from scratch does not seem reasonable since
it was just done.
Well done Matt, lucky indeed.
