Splitting the "chain" to a "binary tree" just adds more fun Smiley

This is also the correct way to do it.

I do not see any benefits for me running it.

Perhaps to remind the community not to rely on chains of unconfirmed txs.

Btw, I wonder if it is possible to design scripts immune to this attack, e.g.

Code:
OP_SIZE 73 OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG

The wallet software needs to "mine" a 73byte sig (not very hard).
The malleated sig is always 1 byte bigger, so cannot be used.
