I'm sure it doesn't happen on its own, but I'm pretty certain I'm not to blame.
Still very confused.

Weird thing is the version 2.6.2 is free from malleability attack but you say it still showed double spend, and afaik that doesn't happen on its own.

Thanks for the response.

I was using 2.6.2 and now I'm on 2.6.4
I sent myself (different wallet address) 0.01 btc with Electrum's recommended tx fee (3.3k sat)
This has since gone through and been confirmed

When I checked this link when I wrote this post, I had low priority, now its at medium.. Things might resolve naturally?

Should I avoid opening Electrum for the time being? I can't help but want to check to see if matters have resolved.

I sent a 0.01 btc transaction with a bit under 8500 sat fee, for vip on a faucet site
Since sending this transaction, my electrum won't confirm the transaction or send/receive new ones.

My wallet looks like this now: https://snag.gy/KBJlL9.jpg

And when opening the 0.01 transaction, initially I got a message from blockchain saying the fee was too small, and now when I look it talks about double spending and to be wary of me, I'm just a harmless faucet collector Sad

Any idea whats going on? How can I fix this?
Your wallet looks like had too many small inputs from the faucet collection as you mentioned and due to that the size of your transaction(s) must have been big and because of that the required fee would be more than what you say you added.

At this point, all you can do is turn off the electrum, so it stops broadcasting it, keep checking your transaction on block explorer, if it goes through(unlikely) great, if not then it will get dropped as the network forgets about it and the funds will be back in your wallet and then you can re-send them with proper fee this time.

As for the double spend message, which version of the Electrum are you using? I think you're on an older version of Electrum which were prone to "malleability attack", so update to the latest one. And please provide the Tx ID, it'll be easier to find the cause of the issue then.
