Mempool-free

If so, then I can only assume that the Electrum server you are connecting to, still has your transactions in it's mempool... so it is sending it back to you when you recreated your wallet. :(

I wonder, is there some way to turn-key configure Electrum client or server that will only have your client display TXs included in blocks, no mempool unconfirmeds? Maybe even have a public Electrum server or more, specifically advertised as mempool-free?

So how would you be able to tell how much coin you can actually spend?  or what you have spent?

I don't understand why anyone would want this... it makes no sense.

You can actually spend any of your coin that hasn't been included in a block to someone else's address. What you have spent (included in a block) is shown, because it isn't part of the mempool. This is to allow users to build new TX without having to override ones stuck indefinitely in mempool for whatever reason, whether RBF is enabled or not.

So you can basically create an infinite amount of transactions... to an infinite number of addresses... and have no real idea of what you've spent or who you've sent to... or what is likely to confirm.

Sounds like a great system... /s

Fair enough... "attempted to spend"... happy now?

Semantic games aside, it doesn't change the fact that having a wallet that doesn't show any unconfirmed transactions that you've created and broadcast to the network is, quite simply, a ridiculous idea...

[TheButterZone]

It's actually ridiculous to have a wallet that requires you to edit, by hand (risking BTC loss), unconfirmed transactions that will likely never confirm out of your wallet file, so you can build a new TX that actually will.
