Title: Bitcoin issue "double spend"
Post by: Noobiez on August 01, 2017, 07:51:37 PM
I have sent a peer btc but apparently I pressed spend on electrum and the money was not received by peer. The transaction is sitting in a wallet unspent and I am wondering how I can get it moving and get it back. First time here,  first time user of electrum. Currently @ work but driving me nuts so please help

Have you checked to see if the transaction was broadcast and propagated by nodes correctly? Check your Transaction ID (right click Transaction and select "Details") on various block explorers like:
https://blockchain.info
https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/
http://blockr.io/
https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC
https://btc.com/

If it isn't showing on any of these... your transaction either didn't broadcast or has been dropped. Can you post the TransactionID so we can investigate?

If you need the coins back then you'll have to sweep all your keys.

However, as HCP said, there's no way we can really help without having the txid.
