Ok I have updated to the newest version:
{
  "version": 60300,
  "protocolversion": 60001,
  "walletversion": 60000,
  "balance": 0.22,
  "blocks": 189965,
  "connections": 7,
  "proxy": "",
  "difficulty": 1866391.30500321,
  "testnet": false,
  "keypoololdest": 1337701139,
  "keypoolsize": 101,
  "paytxfee": 0.0,
  "errors": ""
}
It seems that some coins have been lost I still get 825 coins in my account, can anyone give me directions how to get rid of that?
Great, now "sendtoaddress" those 0.22 then "backupwallet .bitcoin/wallet.bak" Smiley

You will have to "listaccounts" and see if any other account has the same 800+ amount, but negative, and "move" bitcoins from yours to that one, or if they are really faked with a bitcoind bug or something move them to a new account that the server would not touch at all.

Ok, I am going to try to send them out to a temporary address and create a new account move the exact same amount of bitcoins but negative and send there those 825 bitcoins.

Ok, now I'm really confused.

I re-downloaded the blockchain, replaced it, re-scanned it and it still shows the same 825 coins.

The problem is not on your blockchain, but in your wallet.dat

Export your addresses and import them into a new wallet.

How do I do that? BackupWallet?

Do you have direct console access? Could you post "bitcoind getinfo" result? Do you have some wallet backup before all this happened?

Allot of questions I know, try to answer at least some of them

Yes, yes and I have no backups

{
  "version": 60006,
  "protocolversion": 60000,
  "walletversion": 60000,
  "balance": 0.0,
  "blocks": 172110,
  "connections": 5,
  "proxy": "",
  "difficulty": 1498294.36281651,
  "testnet": false,
  "keypoololdest": 1337701139,
  "keypoolsize": 101,
  "paytxfee": 0.0,
  "errors": "URGENT: upgrade required, see http://bitcoin.org/dos for details"
}

Thank you people, you have been more than helpful. I just updated it to the newest version and it's currently synchronizing with the network.

Hope you work it out, although I see you have 0 balance in there. Don't confuse server balance with accounts, they are two different things, the later only helps you out with the user accounting on your server, while the main balance are the coins it currently stores in all wallets put together.

Seem like an upgrade was needed yeah  Smiley

Btw, having backups is crucial for any online service, at least for the "wallet.dat". On Rugatu we store encrypted backups on three different mediums and locations, like for example server's HDD, separate pendives and wuala cloud storage every hour. You can never be completely sure that everything will work just fine.

3 different locations? Seems like that would compromise security and anonymity it seems much more secure to have backups on an external HDD in a server with 24/7 physical security.

Well thanks everyone I hope it's going to work now.

your change is probably in another address from a transaction you sent
try getbalance("*", 0)

I have got all the addresses associated with that account and there are 120 of them all of which show a 0 balance both on the server and on blockchain.

It seems to work with other accounts that have less addresses associated with them.
... i'm not sure what that means the result of getbalance("*", 0) was...

0.49, there are other accounts that aren't bugged though

I didn't use any trojans or third party applications that I didn't write along with bitcoind.

I am thinking maybe the problem is with another address associated with the account since I'm using GetBalance on the username.

You ought to save your bitcoin directory into a zip file and send it to a trusted member for analysis. It would be interesting to find out if there is a fake bitcoind going around.

Imagine a fake bitcoin client that ensures your money goes to a thief but pretends you have the money, up until the moment you try to spend it (because of course you can't). You get some meaningless system error when you go to spend, so you think it is your system instead of being tipped off to an attack.  This has happened in the regular banking world, no reason why it couldn't be happening to bitcoin now.

Did you use IRC bootstrapping alone? There is a known attack which involves filling an irc channel with malicious nodes, then feeding bad blocks to anyone who joins. One problem with this attack is that the blocks need to be real, but a few hundred BTC (6 blocks) is less than 825...

Sounds to me like you are connected to a the hacker's blockchain honeypot and he is just WAITING for you to send a payment of some sort :-D

Sounds like someone used a bitcoin doubling software(Trojan) from that was hawked on youtube or someone really forked there own blockchain/client with fake coins and got this guys bitcoind to connect to it

No transactions found for this address, it has probably not been used on the network yet.

This guy is funny.

Even if it was an unconfirmed or double-spend transaction it would be known.

I think he is confusing the MySQL database saying the address has coins with bitcoind saying it.

I am using a JSON call and yes it shows that it has it. Not the MySQL database

Then you're not using the same blockchain as the rest of us.

http://blockchain.info/address/15hjpvA5PGb4RuJKMspwqwdhaLaP6JLT79
Checked also with my bitcoind and with btcbalance.net and they tell me that address never had any balance.
