Conflicted

[plogank]

This's a first for me. I have two transactions that instead of showing confirmations it says these transactions are "Conflicted".

What on earth does that mean?

Thanks,

not sure what "Conflicted" means exactly (some say it happens when there's a double-spend or malleability attack.). but in this case it's probably caused by the ongoing malleability attacks.

Link both TXID link of these transactions. Just out of the blue, this might just be a weird way of saying it was double spent. A TXID look like this; https://blockchain.info/tx-index/3d049c1cc0a8077e12911b7bbb75c2662a2ebf82325d0ccd2e578b545c74010d

This TXID was rejected and has now been deleted, this is probably what will happen to your unconfirmed one.

I was surprised by this when it happened to me for the first time as well. This has been a common problem lately and you are safe as long as you don't move around any unconfirmed bitcoins!
This is just the result of someone performing a malleability attack on the blockchain, and it is nothing to worry about for yourself as of this moment, but take the necessary precautions and keep your bitcoins in a safe place.

Just don't trust the transaction until it is confirmed. If it was sent from your own wallet, remember to keep the private key- the transaction might end up canceled/disappeared and all coins returned to the original address..

This being said, you should never try to move/use any BTC that is not confirmed. Pending balance is fake, do not believe it.
You can never be too careful, especially when there are global discrepancies active.
