It's been running too so it's in synch, with same wallet.
Ok, we are going to try running it with a different wallet. You have the current wallet backed up somewhere safely?
If so, then shut down Bitcoin-Qt on the machine downstairs. Then once you are sure that it is completely shut down, delete the wallet.dat file on that machine only. Start Bitcoin-Qt back up on that machine.
It should create a brand new wallet for you with a brand new wallet address.
Make a backup copy of this new wallet.dat file (be careful not to accidentally overwrite any current backup copy you have of the wallet.dat file that we've been working with).
Once you've got the new wallet running, and you're sure you've got a good backup of the new wallet, let me know what the receiving address is in the new wallet.
Previously you said:
So, you have Bitcoin-Qt running on a separate machine? Do you have access to that second machine right now? I've got an idea that might help (and definitely won't make things worse).

I have already set up bitcoin on a completely different machine with the same results.

Wrong link.
I guess the wild ride isn't going to end yet.....
I still can't send any payments.

That's really strange. You still have 1,835 outputs in the wallet, but one of those outputs is 23.19255698 BTC. Your wallet should choose to use that single large output for any transaction less than 23.19205698 BTC.
How much are you trying to send?
0.31 bitcoin
Right in the coin-control!

Explain?
Problem was that wallet couldn't send a transaction.
Wallet has now sent a transaction.

You are a nice guy danny hamilton!
Can i just ask a (slightly) off topic question... If he were to sweep all dust into a single tx, what size would his tx have been (roughly in kb) and what would the fee for this tx have been (again, roughly)...?
I am just wondering as if there was coin control, I think i would lazily just sweep all into a new recieve address and pay the fee, provided it wasn't excessive...
Thanks.

It's difficult to say exactly how big the transaction would be, but it would probably be somewhere around 283 kilobytes. I think there is a limit on the maximum size of a transaction that Bitcoin-Qt will allow, but I don't remember what that limit is. The number 100 kb comes to mind, but I could be wrong. Assuming you could actually transmit a 283 kb transaction, the typical fee is 0.0005 BTC per kilobyte, so I'd expect the total fee would be approximately 0.1415 BTC.
You could try and transmit it with a fee of 0.0001 BTC per kilobyte, which would result in a total fee of 0.283 BTC. However, that could end up tying up all your bitcoins in an unconfirmed transaction for a long time.
If you had patience and wanted to risk a transaction that might take weeks or more to confirm, you could create a raw transaction that consolidates all the bitcoins without paying a fee at all. I wouldn't recommend it though.

Two confirmations already! Wow, that was fast. Talk to you tomorrow (or I suppose it's actually "later today" at this point).
Congrats. You've transmitted your first ever raw transaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx/83da0631ce2ba143bf206578b80c6202ccd296fef3c60e8acd0157eb669c8021
Also, you've proven that your wallet is capable of creating and transmitting transactions, so it isn't completely screwed. Hooray!
Get some sleep. This transaction will probably take an hour or two to get confirmed. Once it does you'll need to to build up additional confirmations before it has a high enough priority to send it again without a fee.
Contact me via email tomorrow when/if you want to work on this some more.

Ok...it's definitely doing transactions now....hopefully not a transaction up my rear end.
it has ~0.32 left, with ~23.19 unconfirmed....looks good...unless those may stay unconfirmed forever?

I didn't know it but I already shut bitcoin off...do I have to do that all over again or just enter that last part? well...of course I do since I don't have the signed code anymore....
If you saved the output of the signrawtransaction, then you don't have to do it again. If you didn't save that, then yes, you'll have to do it again.
Sorry...still doesn't work. Same error. Go ahead and post it and if I get it going again I can tip you.
We'll save that for if or when we get this all resolved.
So since this was completed, I shouldn't have anymore "dust" right?
No, first the transaction has to be transmitted. Next, your wallet has 1887 outputs. This process swept up 52 of them. That means that after you transmit this transaction, you'll still have 1835 dust outputs remaining. We'll have to repeat the processes over and over sweeping up 52 inputs at a time until they've all been swept up. That means we'll have to do this about 37 times.
and where do I go from here? I have already set up bitcoin on a completely different machine with the same results.
Lets see if we can even get this one transaction broadcast. Then we can figure out what to do next.
I have to go to sleep btw.....it's 4 am and I'm beat.
Understood. Send me an email tomorrow if you want to continue working on this.
