Wow I didn't even realize that... That address is neither my electrum address or exodus address....
I didn't know there was a "pay to many" function. Is that in electrum? I guess that its possible that I did that on accident... But I don't know where that address (1B2EqXr819BDGpoL58gziReUHtVBcrrXsY) came from. Maybe it has something to do with the other signers?
When I went into electrum and increased the fee rate (because it was originally way too low) I was under the impression that it would "re-do" the entire transaction.This doesn't seem to be the case... It sent it as an entirely different transaction but with the exact same amount (15.95794). Now the transaction that I updated the fee on got approved and is now in my exodus wallet. The other one is still pending... But when I open my electrum wallet, there is nothing in there. If it is still pending wouldn't it show that in my electrum wallet as well? Will my first tx with the super low fee EVER get approved? I'm super new to this and I didn't really understand how low the fee was at the time of the tx.
What you mean by other signers? This is valid only when you use multisignature wallet.
Yes, electrum has feature to send funds to multiple addresses (in single trasaction) ... but you have to activate it (tools/pay to many).
Yeah, this is normal procedure. You can't just "draw back" published transactions (nodes have them already in their mempools).
You need to create a doublespend (sort of override the previous one) ... this is what exactly happened. So nothing went wrong.
The other transaction (the first one) will never get confirmed (it's inputs were already spent ... by the second one).
About the additional address I cant tell where it comes from as well. Could be some malicious software on your device ( but I haven't seen any similar issue before ).
This is why I always do doublecheck before confirming transaction (click preview and check the address, amounts ... )
