AJ, this was a meandering random walk which shed very little light.
I don't find the differentiation between malicious and non-malicious
double-spends convincing. Even if you trust A, you already have to
worry about person-who-sent-the-coins-to-A. This expands that set to be
"miner who mined coins sent-to-A", but it's very hard to see what
difference that makes to how you'd handle coins from A.

... followed by two paragraphs describing how it's not a "fundamental
way to cause problems" that you (or I) can see.

I don't find this remotely credible.

In theory, sure. But not feel-good and complex "safety measures" which
don't actually help in practical failure scenarios.

If this is considered necessary, can it be a standardness rule rather
than consensus?
Thanks,
