So, earlier this evening I tried to move my few (5) bitcoins from bitcoin-qt to a paper wallet. For some reason, bitcoin-qt didn't include a transaction fee. So, after 3 hours it was still "0/ unconfirmed" (and didn't say 'broadcast through N nodes' or anything). Blockchain.info showed the transaction and also had it as unconfirmed (with 0 confirmations).
Well, being impatient and thinking myself clever, I thought I'd resubmit a new transaction with the same coins, but this time adding a .0005 fee. I figured it'd go right through, and the first transaction would just fall out of the block... so I quit bitcoin-qt, restored a backup wallet, and made a new transaction to another paper wallet.
But now, I see a big "Warning! this transaction is a double spend of 96071469. You should be extremely careful when trusting any transactions to/from this sender" on blockchain.info, and bitcoin-qt still shows the new transaction as as "0/unconfirmed, broadcast through 8 nodes" after 30 mins or so.
Does this mean that no miners will verify it because of the double-spend? Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks for any help. -mx
