1. what is the address holding the 20BTC?
2. is it transaction of satoshidicke sending back a prize?
3. is the wallet damaged?

if it is a transaction sent but never confirmed i is possible to create raw transaction using same inputs. Think about it as double spend. Also the pywallet is still supported by JackJack.

I just found an old wallet on a recovered crashed drive from 2012 with almost 20BTC worth of unconfirmed satoshidice transactions. I looked them up in blockchain and there's no record of them having occurred, with the client's blockchain fully updated
hate the break it to you: the 20 BTC in your wallet is undependable. the transactions have not confirmed since 2012 and are not in any client's transaction list. unless they're in a block, you can't spend them.

How would I determine if this is the case and what's the best way to attempt to recover them?

I looked them up in blockchain and there's no record of them having occurred, with the client's blockchain fully updated. I remember having a similar issue a long time ago and It resulted in me recovering the funds but I can't remember if the specifics are the same or how it was done. What can I do about this issue? (EDIT: I believe it was done with pywallet but I have no idea if it's even still being maintained)

I'm still in disbelief. If this is real I'm going to be so fucking happy.  Grin
