UPDATE: The transaction expired and bitUSD were refunded to my account. I'm guessing it was a fee issue, so i adjusted my wallet setting back to 0.5 BTS.

Not sure what's going on here, but i tried covering a short position and got this error in my transaction feed:



now i have neither the BTS from the cover, nor the bitUSD used to cover. Are these funds somehow tied up on the blockchain? and if so, how can i get them released?

i just recently changed my wallet's fee to 0.1 BTS from the 0.5 BTS default. is that an issue?
