Double spending means that you tried to send the same bitcoins more than once. Only one of those 2 transactions will confirm and if those two transactions are payments to 2 different services/person then one of them will lose the payment. You (the sender) will not lose anything.

The reason why the first transaction takes a long time and ended up returning to your wallet is because you used a low fee. Use dynamic fee and set it to high to avoid this kind of problems.

Hi

Im new here, tried to find answers, but failed.. will try my best to explain (kinda new)

I bought some bitcoins from localbitcoins and sent them to my electrum wallet.
And afterwards sent it to another site. (24h ago)
0 confirmations and i waited for 12h then my coins return to electrum, i tried once more same thing  and a third time.

Now it seems to be lost? it says Double spend! and Unspendable...

appreciates if someone can help Smiley
