Unconfirmed parent, double spend transaction?

[Bartnick]

Hello Everybody,

I know this topic appeared already but I am newbie and not very savvy in these things so please help me with this one.
Few hours ago I have sent 0.01 BTC from my Electrum Portable 2.9.3. wallet and transaction stuck with Unconfirmed message. Than I've sent 1.24 bitcoin to the same address, that's were I made mistake yes? That means that I have double spend transaction, yes? Does that mean it stuck forever?
What can I do if anything now? Help greatly appreciated.

I think what you've done is sent your first transaction, then the second and the first is with a low fee.
Can you post the address you were sending them to?

There are ways of accelerating transactions also like pool.viabtc.com/toola/txaccelerator .

to understand what double spend means think of your bitcoin address (not wallet) as a bank account and think of spending bitcoin as writing a check. the transaction is that check. if it is not confirmed it is like the person not cashing in your check. and confirmation means they went to the bank and cashed the check.

now double spending means for example you have $1000 in your bank account, you write a check to Jack for $1000 and before Jack goes to the bank you write another check for $1000 and give it to Jill. obviously only one of these two can receive that $1000 from the bank and you just double spent your $1000.
