On 2nd December, I attempted a to make my first purchase with bitcoins from my electrum wallet. What I was did not know, was that the transaction HAD to be completed within one hour. Being a newbie, I set the transaction rate as low as possible (£0.02). And of course, the transaction was not completed within the hour. Thus, the vendor cancelled the transaction. However, my electrum wallet shows the amount as having been paid, and has been deducted from my wallet. SO, where did my bitcoins go to (are they lost in cyberspace?) or will they be returned to my wallet in due course? In addition, the refund address that I generated has expired (Seven days is the maximum time that electrum allows an address to exist).
