So now all my BTC is tied up in "Unconfirmed transaction" land and I can't spend any?

You probably received a double spend from someone else. what are the transaction hashes?

Yes I think so, whatever tx fee blockchain would add, usually .002-.005 I think.

And thanks for the tip on electrum, I'm downloading that now.

I don't know about that issue...but you should use electrum instead of blockchain and did you paid txn fees?

Hi everyone, this is a really frustrating problem I'm having with my blockchain.info wallet.
I recently came back to Bitcoin about two or three weeks ago and managed to mine/buy up to about 1.2BTC, (after inititally mining for a while in 2011, but lost interest, ended up losing my wallet and having my pool accounts expire).

Anyway, to get to the point/problem: I just use the blockchain.info wallet's "Send transaction" interface, but all of a sudden, a bunch of my transactions started not propogating/not confirming. Finally after a day or so of waiting, some of them started saying "This Transaction is a Double Spend!"
It appears that one of my transactions disappeared, i.e. used to show up in my "Transactions" list, but then later just stopped showing up, but now it seems that all the transactions I sent after that are waiting forever, and then claiming to be a double spend.
I thought, maybe something's wrong with the wallet, so I clicked "Run Check" on the "Integrity Check" in account settings: it found no problems.
SO I tried creating a new wallet on blockchain.info, and sending 1btc to that from my old wallet. But now, after a day of waiting in "Unconfirmed transaction" land, it's telling me THAT is a double spend too, so neither my old wallet or new wallet actually has access to it!

So now all my BTC is tied up in "Unconfirmed transaction" land and I can't spend any?
What the hell is going on, is there anything I can do?
And how can I be "double-spending" just from sending a transaction through blockchain.info's "quick send" feature? I never tried to spend more than was in my balance.
