I received a payment about 18 hours ago, and it is still unconfirmed. The transaction log is here:
https://blockchain.info/tx/b6deeee2d2bc1b015aa3d73346216cd90dbcd5bda3943771fc5377765ab15e25I know the low fee might be a factor that causes the delay of the confirmation. But there is another thing that raised my concern: the red label which says "Double Spend!" How can "Double Spend!" affect a transaction? From the info I found on the internet, it is not a good sign.
P.S. I found a transaction acceleration service called ViaBTC and had submitted the unconfirmed transaction to it 15 minutes ago. But I think it is still necessary for me to figure out the effect of "Double Spend!" so I opened this thread.
Your Tx has got confirmation. So, the "Double Spend!" does not matter to u.
The thing is, the same coin i/p of your Tx was used in some other Tx, which is not yet confirmed.
The Post from newIndia is said simply like this. the Exchange sends the transaction which is showing in bitcoin qt, not confirmed yet - and thoose coins are sended to you as double spend until the first tx gets confirmed and the blockchain knows the correct truth.

The point is that, the Tx has got confirmation because I submitted it to ViaBTC to get it confirmed. If I didn't submit it to ViaBTC, it would probably be unconfirmed forever and I would lost my money in the end after the other Tx gets confirmed first (according to
ahmedjamal1998's explanation of "double spend").
Hi ethan.
Good to hear your Payment god confirmed. Also other Users are wautung for there Payments to confirmed.
This is simply all effected by the Blockchain. The fact that the Transactions was shown as double spend is the effect of a futher transaction which still needed to be confirmed. So far i think ( i also tried ViaBTC) pushing a transaction, is only possbile by taking the Transaction into the Pool process and make it confirm faster like this. This effect will definatly not confirm the first transaction. Read please to this also this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1743011.0 Aswell some Transactions are waiting in the memepool for confirmations. And Miners hopefully will take them up soon to confirm them for the Blockchain.
We talked also about Fee`s:
I personally don't mind wait for a bit longer for the transaction to be confirmed, as long as I can reduce my transaction fee in the future. Do you mean it is easier for you to send less amount of Bitcoin?
If i send u the Transaction with High Fee Amount it will be fast - You wanted a low Fee Transaction to save Money, and thats simply why ive sended it with low Fee.
XRB payments are alot faster, and u are free to use Exchange Services like Mercatrox or Bitgrail out there to exchange your MRAI Coins.
Yesterday we could reach only 28 Claims / 1 MRAI. This is awesome so far.
