1  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Cancel unconfirmed transaction - did i do it properly? on: March 14, 2022, 07:18:13 AM
Is that the fee to cancel it?
i was wondering the proper way to cancel an unconfirmed transaction bc i was in a panic and not really sure how i completed this
The name "cancel transaction" is just a newbie-friendly way of labeling the actual process.
It's actually utilizing "double-spend" as indicated in the close and open brackets after the name: "Cancel (double-spend)".

Basically, it has to create another transaction that will send the funds back to one of your own wallet's address.
That's because it's really impossible to remove an already broadcast transaction from each Bitcoin node's mempool, you have to create a new transaction that will spend the same input(s) of the original unconfirmed transaction.
Since it's just another transaction, it also has a fee.


Thank you so much!!!!


So i did do it right, i just did not even know it. Ill check y settings and all

Thanks so much for this!!
2  Bitcoin / Electrum / Cancel unconfirmed transaction - did i do it properly? on: March 13, 2022, 04:31:49 PM
I think i did it properly.

I canceled a unconfirmed transaction.

I sent to an older invoice address 0.01252634 BTC

I canceled it twice but was getting an error.
So, I increased the slider from ETA and then i click on Broadcast button - I dont know if that did it or what.

But now this is the total that was taken in the History:
-0.00000252 BTC which currently comes out to 0.098 USD

So, it looks like i was able to cancel it. -

Is that the fee to cancel it?

Can someone confirm and show me a screenshots or a guide?


Your help is much appreciated.  Thanks in advance!
