Wow for the first time I have seen a transaction as double spend.
Anyways what will happen to the bitcoins and what about this transaction?? Will this transaction vanish and it will look like it never happened or something else.

The transaction will likely get rejected and will vanish in time while the satoshi will be returned to the sender's wallet.

No, the double spend that was not confirmed is invalid. It is however a double spend because the coins have been used elsewhere so there will be nothing returned.

I really don't know how did it happen Undecided

Maybe you are correct guys, I'm experiencing a bug, and just recently I encountered another problem on blockchain.info saying " Chain Head Not Found". Blockchain.info is so buggy so I decided to import my addy on electrum

I ain't gonna use blockchain.info anymore

It probably had to do with the wallet you were using. Did you happen to send any bitcoin after you sent this transaction? If so, it if possible that your wallet allowed you to accidentally create a double spend.

and how this happen exactly? it look like a bug, and nt a thing done on purpose, if this is the case, it's a bit dangerous, since it can happen with larger amount

Usually a bug, I have seen blockchain.info do something like this before.

I sent coins to 1BustFB4xrXRHfAjwNAxqF32nKd4tehyrh which is an address on a game then hours ago, still unconfirmed and became a double spend Shocked

But how? I'm really poor in this kind of things about bitcoin so it would be nice if someone can explain it in a simple way Roll Eyes
