Do not allow overwriting unspent transactions (BIP 30)
Introduce the following network rule: * a block is not valid if it contains a transaction whose hash already exists in the block chain, unless all that transaction's outputs were already spent before said block. Warning: this is effectively a network rule change, with potential risk for forking the block chain. Leaving this unfixed carries the same risk however, for attackers that can cause a reorganisation in part of the network. Thanks to Russell O'Connor and Ben Reeves.
