I was running tests a couple of weeks ago sending some bitcoins to someone else's adress to see how the rbf double spend system works.

I double spent a transaction thrice (once with a really low fee that woulnd't confirm, once with a higher fee that would but back to myself and once again to the other person but with rbf disabled)...

I didn't expect the second one to work and anticipated the funds would end up with them but they came back to me and replaced that transaction... after then I don't seem to be able to see my transactions on block explorers until they confirm, has anyone else experienced this?

---

The test was because someone said I could reverse a transaction I sent to them before it had confirmed and I didn't think it was that easy so I fancied testing it...

Just to clear my understanding,

Until now
The first tx:  confirmed or not confirmed
The 2nd one to yourself means to another address: confirmed or not confirmed
The 3rd one rbf disabled: confirmed or not confirmed

Yeah, I sent those a while ago and now whenever I got here: https://btc.com/bc1qdj5v2q8p398rdy6sexc0fapk4hcq0p54xz56ez

It only shows transactions that have confirmed and not anything in the mempool. It's really annoying for trying to work out whether I've sent coins to the right address.

Is this the third transaction (possibly because see it was broadcasted around an hour ago)? If this is the third tx then we are looking for 2nd and 1st tx?


edit:
By the way, I think this topic better goes in the Bitcoin Technical Support (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=4.0) section. The service discussion guys will not have much knowledge about this, my guess.

No, the 1st, second and third transactions broadcast a while ago and the third confirmed a month ago (I'm not sure what address I sent them to).

When you double spend a transaction, the higher fee one gets sent and the rest get removed (I have coninsidentally double spent that one too because the others were too low).

I can't work out why none of my unconfirmed transactions show on btc.com though which was my problem (blockchair's site takes longer to load because it's in more detail).

(My issue is, since I double spent a transaction, my address no longer seems to get recognised with unconfirmed transactions on btc.com and I'm trying to work out if this is because I've double spent it or not)...

Last time when I went there I saw an unconfirmed tx here (arrow pointed):

And it was this: 031b610ff12ee8d898bf056c0f44bb7cb3385587852264c31ee35832a07af8da

Now when I visit, I do not see the tx.

This is going over my head LOL
Did you use rbf for this tx (just now)?

Edit:
Did you check with other block explorer?

Ahhh thanks, there's a separate tab for unconfirmed!

That was clearly my issue... Observation skills are clearly still awful. Thanks, I'll have to test that out again and see if I can find it!
