Double-Spend Relay and Alerts

=============================

VERY IMPORTANT: *It has never been safe, and remains unsafe, to rely*
46-

Relay
49-
-----
50-
When an attempt is seen on the network to spend the same unspent funds
51-
more than once, it is no longer ignored. Instead, it is broadcast, to
52-
serve as an alert. This broadcast is subject to protections against
53-
denial-of-service attacks.

Wallets and other bitcoin services should alert their users to
56-
double-spends that affect them. Merchants and other users may have
57-
enough time to withhold goods or services when payment becomes
58-
uncertain, until confirmation.

Bitcoin Core Wallet Alerts
61-
--------------------------
62-
The Bitcoin Core wallet now makes respend attempts visible in several
63-
ways.
64-
65-
If you are online, and a respend affecting one of your wallet
66-
transactions is seen, a notification is immediately issued to the
67-
command registered with `-respendnotify=<cmd>`. Additionally, if
68-
using the GUI:
69-
- An alert box is immediately displayed.
70-
- The affected wallet transaction is highlighted in red until it is
71-
confirmed (and it may never be confirmed).
72-
73-
A `respendsobserved` array is added to `gettransaction`, `listtransactions`,
74-
and `listsinceblock` RPC results.

Warning

-------
78-
*If you rely on an unconfirmed transaction, these change do VERY*
79-
*LITTLE to protect you from a malicious double-spend, because:*
80-
81-
- You may learn about the respend too late to avoid doing whatever
82-
you were being paid for
83-
- Using other relay rules, a double-spender can craft his crime to
84-
resist broadcast
85-
- Miners can choose which conflicting spend to confirm, and some
86-
miners may not confirmg the first acceptable spend they see
87-
