Horray. You're finally able to send bitcoins:
https://blockchain.info/tx/da633d05357f5d4eb883abc3b8e2381330427765a951dc6d984b639248ecfad9

Now we just need to get the bitcoins and addresses from the old wallet merged into the new wallet.

Thanks for your help Smiley

Looks like the current transaction just got its first confirmation:
https://blockchain.info/tx/5089aea6f4ba2838dda6dff056c8c685895120d04fb641627fa75ad7251a7299

The remaining confirmations should come quickly now.  Once the transaction has 6 confirmations, go ahead and try sending the payment you've been trying to send.  Let me know if it works or not.

ok.....only 3 confirmations so far

Should be 7 as soon as your wallet is caught up synchronizing:

OK great...I guess I was busy at one point with bitvisitor and cointube lols.  I still haven't been able to wrap my head around how something like this could happen, but that's ok.

This is only your fault in so far as that you were unaware of the problem with the way bitvisitor and cointube ran their business.

Both of those sites know that they are messing up people's wallets by sending these extremely small transactions, and they just don't care.  There are solutions they could implement that would avoid this problem if they wanted to.  In the future, it is best to avoid any business that is going to send you bitcoins valued at less than 0.001 BTC.

Essentially, they sent you thousands of pennies.  Imagine walking into a grocery store with a few buckets full of pennies to pay for your groceries. You wouldn't expect them to accept that as payment, right?  Similar situation here.  Your wallet is full of extremely small value transactions.  The wallet won't let you spend them all at once.

If you had nothing in your wallet except these tiny outputs, then your problem would make sense.  However, you have a single output that is more than 20 BTC. There seems to be a bug in the coin selection algorithm of the wallet. If the wallet was working properly, it should just ignore the dust, and use the one large output when building the transaction.  I don't know why it isn't doing that. Hopefully that will get fixed in a future version of Bitcoin-Qt. In the meantime, we'll build you a new wallet that has your bitcoins and the addresses that you want to keep.

By the way, 23.51 BTC at today's exchange rate is about $3,035, not $21,000   Wink

I have $21,000 worth of bitcoins in the wallet, so I would appreciate some help before I have a heart attack.

At this time we've successfully recovered about $2,995 of your $3,035 into a wallet where you should be able to spend it if you want.

The remaining 0.31151597 still won't let me send.

Definitely not.  That is made up of more than 1,800 outputs each less than 0.0006 BTC.

However, we've got most of your bitcoins moved to a new wallet that should work.  We'll continue to get the dust swept up if you'd like once we confirm that you can send from the new wallet.

Great!  If nothing else, we've at least established that the old wallet is still able to send transactions to other wallets.

Wait until the transaction has 6 confirmations.  It is a pretty high priority (more than 72,000,000), so it shouldn't take more than a few hours.  It doesn't have a fee though, so it may take more than an hour.

Once it has 6 confirmations, see if you can send a normal transaction from the new wallet to wherever it is you are trying to send to.

If so, then we at least have a temporary solution that will allow you to continue to use your bitcoins while we work on sweeping up the remaining dust.

Ok, I've got it ready.  You'll run the commands in the Console of the old wallet upstairs.

If you want to review and run the createrawtransaction yourself, here is it:

Code:
createrawtransaction [{\"txid\":\"83da0631ce2ba143bf206578b80c6202ccd296fef3c60e8acd0157eb669c8021\",\"vout\":0},{\"txid\":\"27e7d388e6c4aed11c100b6fdac2bd171cfed64cce89f406fa9cd253ed1a4904\",\"vout\":66},{\"txid\":\"4596a233acea5496ed7e3ea65b24304cc0814a912fc7d1accc9519fa9dc78e95\",\"vout\":67},{\"txid\":\"5b414d02e9ebd2a6e9eda94386e02cbb783832f6e064a7338cbf95fa4b231296\",\"vout\":55},{\"txid\":\"0bc971f1e55088053d37b27d9fd07c7a862b19b95ef0bf8eaf5a1053ffda2b59\",\"vout\":1},{\"txid\":\"261a482a894610e09353efae5ad49bedea28eb9fadc12a07729233ccae884288\",\"vout\":2},{\"txid\":\"2c7206fd2606769e28a719a1a02e340a026c48e66b65d2ce6d36b7b76538d1b2\",\"vout\":167},{\"txid\":\"3106029f3f9a1644d1b5a891f8b67cccf2b819705c6948afc2209de27016a3c9\",\"vout\":1},{\"txid\":\"3177a9213d94914ddf6a7aa91a83fbdcca23f53ea0b674ab40a902744d81e911\",\"vout\":3},{\"txid\":\"34759ac03e8a930c04f6d23f551545caad80300009a0935b44d9fdb6581047e5\",\"vout\":3},{\"txid\":\"5c8b0fc46d50c2934396513412832d9fa8bc15079ec82da5f8d2f172f3ac5148\",\"vout\":3},{\"txid\":\"62293b015a970d97dd292e711efb928a9eb632c98626c521b42c99f9f6c2a93c\",\"vout\":2},{\"txid\":\"831c0842b89f556c06722f9e7953c339ccf20f063e2142b58b228c6be84652ed\",\"vout\":4},{\"txid\":\"963482e1bc47360fba60ca2250bfe4f3f583d16a22a16416290d55ad179fef9e\",\"vout\":1},{\"txid\":\"a2c9f97e59e52dcb6c3266e5cd4bc52b38c1e158cafaeceee509f6a4629283f2\",\"vout\":1},{\"txid\":\"a4067c292a08366d244d41733f518c2e3bbe88cb32feb44c7f7b3cdbb661d539\",\"vout\":3}] {\"13s4Nxh3SKHnLfhJyvzsdncAuSt71Fzk86\":23.20164418}

If you trust me not to be scamming you, then I've already created it, and you can just run the following signrawtransaction command:

Code:

Don't forget to run the walletpassphrase command before running the signrawtransaction command.

Then once you've got the transaction signed, you can run sendrawtransaction with the appropriate output from the signrawtransaction command.

This should send 23.20164418 BTC from the old wallet upstairs to 13s4Nxh3SKHnLfhJyvzsdncAuSt71Fzk86 in the new wallet downstairs.

Yes I do, right downstairs...sorry about the wait.  I have a 5 week old boy Smiley

Congratulations!

Thanks!

The address on the new bitcoin wallet downstairs is:

13s4Nxh3SKHnLfhJyvzsdncAuSt71Fzk86

Sorry for the delay.  Phone call from work.

Ok, so now we are going to create a new raw transaction that will consolidate some more dust outputs, but this time instead of sending the consolidated funds to 1EEq1NjWtnwoqANZZX2JLCCUY46wFgvfZ8 in the old wallet, we'll send it from the old wallet to 13s4Nxh3SKHnLfhJyvzsdncAuSt71Fzk86 in the new wallet.  Then once it has 6 confirmations, we'll see if you can send from that new wallet.

I'll build the createrawtransaction command for you now.  I'll be back in about a half hour.

ok sounds good
