Unconfirmed Bitcoin Problem

[kpitcher]

BTW, I was able to unlock this wallet using an old password in an attempt to send coins, but it still reports the balance as zero. If this was an empty shell wallet that was never used I doubt I could get my password to work on it. There is a reason why the blockchain is reporting these transactions into my wallet.

Have you posted in reddit, or on bitcointalk? There are experts who know the inner workings rather well there

Well a Bitcoin Talk developer solved the problem by having me actually run one of the transaction ids through one of the other altcoins I was mining at the time, and the explorer found it! Turns out this was actually my old RonPaulCoin wallet, not Bitcoin. Now if only I could find my old Bitcoin wallet...

Well, glad you got it figured out, sorry you didn't get any bitcoin from it. I never thought of that being the cause.

Thanks. Someone else on Reddit was actually having a similar problem, and he sent me over to the bitcointalk thread he created, and that's where they solved both of our problems. Turns out in his case it was Quark coin that was being reported as unconfirmed BTC. Apparently that's just what Bitcoin Core does when you open a wallet with altcoins in it.

Here is the thread if anyone is interested in the technical details...
