Hello,

I have made 2 payments via bitcoin-cli about 24 hours ago. One had a 120 sat per byte fee, the other one had a 160 sat per byte fee. The problem is that these transactions are not yet confirmed on the blockchain (probably because the 200k+ unconfirmed transactions).
Now, I have 2 addresses with funds (0.1 and 0.2 both with 0 confirmations). bitcoin-cli shows a balance of 0.3 even if both the addresses has 0 confirmations.
Now, what happens if I try to spend these amounts? Can I spend them?
Also, if I set a higher fee (for example 6-800 sat per byte) for a new transaction, will this mean my earlier 2 transactions will also be confirmed faster?

Thanks in advance for your comments!
