I do appreciate you want to do this for me, but if you don't mind too much, I would prefer to learn how to do this myself.

If you rather just handle this one for me, around 700sat/byte (1.5mBTC) is what Electrum automatically puts the fee on. This is fine if you think that is what it takes at the moment. Take it from 1Nejxrk4Y9Q2eQ6YTd3hMi46uSnnN4Ghbn. I do see a Sign and Broadcast button when I preview a transaction, so I should be able to handle it from there.

Thanks again.

I'm a big fan of people wanting to learn Smiley
The "problem" is that it's easyer to create a raw, unsigned transaction if you're running a synced node (like i am doing), electrum is perfect for signing transactions, but not so good at doublespending unspent outputs that have already been spent.

If you want to learn the basics, you can download the sourcecode of coinb.in, i've actually written a small post on my blog on it's basic usage a long time ago: http://www.mocacinno.com/blog/create-sign-broadcast-transactions-using-coinb/
I wouldn't use coinb.in to sign the transaction tough (so you don't need to follow the complete article).

If you succeeded in creating a double spending tx using coinb.in, please post the unsigned transaction in this thread and i'll review it for you and give you some pointers on how to sign it using electrum Smiley

Alright, I have tried following the tutorial, but getting stuck far too soon already lol. I think I will need some more time to learn slowly and will keep working on it. For now, would you be so kind to create the double spend tx with around 700sat/byte from the 1Nejxrk4Y9Q2eQ6YTd3hMi46uSnnN4Ghbn wallet?

Thanks bud Smiley
