Double Spend

Basic usage:

./doublespend.py <address> <amount>

Creates two transactions in succession. The first pays the specified amount to the specified address. The second double-spends that transaction with a transaction with higher fees, paying only the change address. In addition you can optionally specify that the first transaction additional OP-RETURN, multisig, and "blacklisted" address outputs. Some miners won't accept transactions with these output types; those miners will accept the second double-spend transaction, helping you achieve a succesful double-spend.
