I am at a loss.
The lower case name did indeed allow me to unlock. When I went restore, I correctly inputted the 12 wallet words, and the wallet would tell me to wait while synchronization took place. Of course, nothing occurred and I still cannot access the wallet.
I have downloaded and installed Electrum.
I have tried your previous suggestion of decrypting the files, but despite spending 2-3 hours, I simply cannot achieve what the instructions state (or I don't understand them). So frustrating. Whenever I post the script I get 'bad syntax' or 'file not found'.
I mean ffs, this wallet worked for 3 weeks, now I am completely blocked from my own money, with no explanation. Will an update cure this?
Frankly, this is what gives BTC a bad name. The hassle factor in managing purchases and wallets is extraordinary, and I am technically proficient.
Importing your wallet words into bread wallet is the simplest solution. However, if you can't use that solution there are detailed instructions for using the offline webpage HCP mentioned in this post. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1777815.msg17773212#msg17773212There are screenshots of the settings to use in that offline webpage at this link. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1785575.msg17819126#msg17819126After you get your private keys you can install electrum and import them into it using the instructions here. http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#can-i-import-private-keys-from-other-bitcoin-clients |

After a long day... Acceleration Succeeded! I sincerely hope it gets accelerated and not held back because of my double spend.
It's about seven hours since viabtc mined its last block. Hopefully it won't take much longer to mine another, and when it does it will confirm your transaction. However, sometimes viabtc has gaps of over twelve hours when it doesn't mine a block. You can find the times it mined its last blocks listed at this link. https://blockchain.info/blocks/ViaBTC |

Do you know how I can fix that ?
For future transactions try these instructions, they are for the latest version of electrum. Older versions have a different layout for the settings windows. Click tools in your menu bar, then preferences in the drop down menu that appears.  Click the fees tab in the window that opens and copy the settings from this screenshot. Click the close button to close the preferences window  When you send coins move the fee slider shown in this screenshot all the way to the right for fast confirmations.  |

And am I correct in my assumption that since I am not the owner of the destination address, I cannot do a CPFP transaction?
You can do a CPFP if you sent coins, but the transaction sent some change back to a change address in your wallet. I checked both of your double spend transactions and found one address from each that appears to be a change address. If either of these addresses are from your wallet then you can try a CPFP. 1KgJCaYzsx8bShsUeh7JvDVfjucg5davh 1KWBJ6FhutBg4feGwpmcPEqwD5mqLZRrFM There's a guide explaining how to do CPFP transactions here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1916963.msg19015496#msg19015496 |

You could try submitting the transaction's ID to this service at the start of each hour and hoping you get into the 100 free slots allowed each hour. Afterwards the viabtc pool includes the transaction in the next block it mines. However, competition for the free slots is so intense that you have to click the submit button exactly on the hour, a few seconds later is too late. https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/It's possible to do a child pays for patent transaction, but the sender can only do it if some change was sent back to a change address. The receiver can always do it. As your mycelium wallet is the receiver you can create a new wallet in electrum using your mycelium wallet's seed words. All your mycelium addresses will then show up in your new electrum wallet. There's instructions explaining how to do it in this thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1813651.0Afterwards you could do a child pays for parent transaction from inside electrum with a very high fee to get the mycelium transaction confirmed. There's a guide explaining how to do it here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1916963.msg19015496#msg19015496Some other paid options you might consider are in this quote. *snip* Viabtc also provides a paid service, but it charges 0.01BTC for each transaction which is over $20. Do you have paid accelerator service? ViaBTC’s Transaction Accelerator is a FREE service for the community. We also provide manual accelerator service for special cases (dire urgency, extremely low transaction fee etc.) and require a donation of 0.01BTC for each transaction. Please contact support@viabtc.com for details. Two users here called quickseller and macbook-air can get f2pool to confirm your transaction, and probably for less. You can contact them by clicking these links. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=358020https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=16114They charged 0.0001 BTC per transaction last year, but probably want more now. I faced a similar issue a few days back transaction not getting confirmed due to low fee but user "QuickSeller" got my transaction confirmed in minutes when I sent him 0.0001 BTC. He has access to some pool . PM him.

So my next question to you is this... Because i messed up the fee so badly and its so low, is it worth even pursuing and accelerating, or hoping the transaction "goes away" and then starting over with a higher fee? I really want to just start over and do this the right way knowing what I know now. lol.
The network has so many unconfirmed transactions today that it;s debatable whether it will forget both transactions in your double spend. It might forget them both, or it might confirm one. Normally the network will forget a transaction 72 hours after you make it, but some people running nodes appear to have changed their settings to remember transactions for longer. I have read about some people complaining it took over a week for the network to forget their transactions. If you wait you might have a long wait. |

I thought there was a Bitcoin ATM just around the corner from you. You shouldn't have any travel expenses. Is it broken or something?
*snip* The place I've used most recently ran out of coins a couple of days ago. *snip* Does it tell you its run out of coins before you put the money in, or does it happily accept the money, then refuse to give it back when it finally tells you its got no Bitcoins? |

Here is the original transaction ID that shows active on the new version of Electrum that i downloaded....

So i actually did do a double spend in my case. When i woke up, this transaction above was missing, so i decided to resend to Helix again to another address. So i think my choices are at this point, play with ViaBTC and hopefully i can get this thing worked, message Macbook-air, or just wait until it drops off in 72hours? That sound about right in my case?
If viabtc detects a transaction is part of a double spend it will display a message saying the transaction doesn't exist. https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/Why does it say “Transaction does not exist”?
In the following cases, you may be told that your transaction does not exist:
*snip*
We can’t accelerate confirmation of “Double spent” transactions either. Luckily, this double spend transaction is not propagated to many nodes, including viabtc's. Viabtc won't accelerate this transaction in your double spend. 1bfbfa9308a8978473b3e84826f1c49a6fc91af3a30a29583e205a1dc12f9aab Viabtc recognises this transaction, but not as part of a double spend yet. Viabtc will currently accelerate this transaction in your double spend if you can get it into the 100 free slots allowed each hour. d07594e1ba5308a9ec5fbb865fd317aee248a5434afdaf1ae36a4e6971595263 If viabtc's node ever detects the other transaction in the double spend it won't accept either transaction. |

The https://pushtx.btc.com service only accepts alipay payments at present. It's planning on making payment methods available for people outside China, but currently doesn't accept anything apart from alipay. |

u buy jimbo?
No. The dip down to yesterday's price was too short lived and I've got less than a grand in my pocket. Even if I was inclined to consider a price from earlier today to be a buyable dip, for the tiny pittance I'd be able to buy it wouldn't be worth my time and travel expense. I thought there was a Bitcoin ATM just around the corner from you. You shouldn't have any travel expenses. Is it broken or something? |

Both your transactions now have nine confirmations. I notice viabtc mined the block your transactions confirmed in. Did you use the viabtc accelerator? Your first transaction only pays 61.094 sat/B in fees and it would be interesting if it confirmed without help. |

...current price at Polo = $2150...
Is it just the beginning of big dump?
why are you quoting that place? it doesn't even use USD and it's barely working at the moment. Working Better than Coinbase... Bitstamp's getting more and more volume each day, and bitstamp's price is now back above the $2300 ATH from a day and a half ago. NO BRAKES ON THE BITCORN TRAIN !!!
$2,300 USD/BTC !!!
Bears won't be happy about that. |

Thanks! So just download the newest version of core and swap in my wallet.dat file ?
That's what 2RobPet did when upgrading from Bitcoin core v 0.8.3-beta. He also used the old blockchain files from v 0.8.3-beta in the latest version of core to save time syncing, and said it worked. Solved it. Updated bitcoin core to the latest version, set the data directory to the same as my old version so I didn't have to redownload the blockchain, then cancelled the transaction with the abandon transaction function. Transaction sent and confirmed now.

It seems that paying high fees doesn't seem to have any positive effects any longer. Just be patient and wait through it and pay higher fees next time it may work for you. he did not pay high fees..it is lower than average fees +1 He only paid 150.226 sat/B while https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ recommends paying 360 satoshis/byte today for fast confirmation. He should have paid more than double the fee to avoid the delay. Viabtc will confirm his transaction in the next block it mines, it hasn't mined a block since I submitted his transaction to its accelerator. |

It's not a stock, it's a network. And hype cycles belong to it, I'm afraid (this will increase adopters and build the nessessary infrastructure for real life applications).
What is the value of a network? The number of users
What is the value of a permissionless, non-centralised open network that is the largest? I could say $1mln/token may not even be enough to capture this
Australian TV doesn't care what Bitcoin is, it just calls it a commodity and points out how much better it's doing than oil and gold.  Australian TV last night. How odd to see this. I wonder when if and when it'll become the standard thing to throw in there. |

I submitted it to the viabtc accelerator for you, and viabtc should confirm it if no other pool confirms it. Are you receiving Bitcoins, or sending them? If you are sending them I suggest switching to the electrum wallet, and if you are receiving them I suggest complaining to whoever sent them that they are using insufficient fees. |

It is the first one you show.
What if I reset my computer to an earlier date? say like early 2016. when the wallet was working.
my Bitcoin was bought at four different times. .45 then 15. two .10 or so. all four = .77.
I May have have some purchase info.
Thank you so Much for Your Replies!!
Ideally you should make backups of your wallet before you do anything else. If you are running windows you can use these instructions to make backups. Click the windows start button, then copy and paste the line of text below into the search box that appears, then press the enter key to open the hidden folder containing your multibit wallet files. %appdata%\Multibit This is what your search box should look like after you have copied and pasted the line above into it.  Backup everything inside the folder that opens, including all the files and sub-folders. Afterwards keep that folder open and try these instructions to get your coins. Start multibit, select the wallet containing your coins, then click "tools", then select "export private keys" as shown in the screenshot.  A new tab should open like the one below. Select "do not password protect export file" at the bottom of the window, then click the "export private keys button".  Inside the folder you kept open there should be a new file with an extension ending in ".key". Open it in notepad and copy your wallet's private key. In the example file below the private key is the bit in red. # KEEP YOUR PRIVATE KEYS SAFE !
# Anyone who can read this file can spend your bitcoin.
#
# Format:
# <Base58 encoded private key>[<whitespace>[<key createdAt>]]
#
# The Base58 encoded private keys are the same format as
# produced by the Satoshi client/ sipa dumpprivkey utility.
#
# Key createdAt is in UTC format as specified by ISO 8601
# e.g: 2011-12-31T16:42:00Z . The century, 'T' and 'Z' are mandatory

# End of private keys After you get your private key install the electrum wallet and use these instructions to import the private key into electrum. http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#can-i-import-private-keys-from-other-bitcoin-clientsHopefully your Bitcoins should immediately show up in electrum and be spendable from it. Don't let anyone know your private key because they can use it to steal your Bitcoins. Multibit classic's maximum allowable fees aren't high enough for dealing with today's massive backlog of unconfirmed transactions. It's best to import the private key into electrum, enable dynamic fees in it, and spend your coins from there. That way you will get fast confirmations. |

This is really frustrating.
