I was scared of that. Yes that double spend was me… I just put in my seed like late last night… what do I have to do to prevent this? Electrum is acting up and not connecting right so should I deposit a little more to cancel it and then do a higher fee? Or should I deposit enough to just increase the fee to like 50 sat/vb?

You made Replace by Fee, which is different than the concept of "double spend". Replace By Fee simply increases the fee of the transaction, but doesn't cancel it. Sadly even with 40 sat/vB you won't see your transaction being broadcasted as there is an massive inscription effort currently going on within the blockchain[1].

Update: so I didn’t realize i didn’t have to deposit more btc to increase the fee, so thank god I didn’t do that. I increased the fee to 40 SAT/VB and checked off the “final box” now the tx report on mempool shows the updated fee and also has RBF scratched out so I’m assuming nobody can mess with it now and it should hit my account sooner… I hope. I have virus protection on my phone but I’m going to do some damage control anyway!

I don't know what "Final box" you are talking about but indeed to bumped the fee to 40 sat/vB. In a normal situation you would get your transaction confirmed quickly, but considering the ongoing fees that will take a while to happen.

When you go to increase the fee you can check a box labeled “final”. I researched it and found out that it made it impossible for anyone to cancel the transaction in process. When I checked the tx report it did show the increased fee and showed that RBF was no longer an option. I completely forgot I read about the inscription notices. I’m crossing my fingers that it will land in my account soon but just as long as it ends up there and can’t be cancelled, I’m okay with that. Thank you for your help!
