All paid signature campaigns should be banned.

That is a lot of double spend attempts from a very small set of related addresses suggesting that someone may be trying to game the system or they have a faulty client. Trying to game the system being the operative word here. All of the double spend attempts will eventually be dropped. Notice also that the confirmed spends all have a pretty good number of confirmations at this time.

All the double spend attempts are from only two addresses:

https://blockchain.info/address/19YqDYmfito6Ykc1vhAY1m7AT2vZ3iJUGL
https://blockchain.info/address/1PEUoYFsJCkxv4uw3eTcp4gMsUbaB3zUxk

and the other highly related address is:

https://blockchain.info/address/1EE2HimJwyjcr8RrFGxEd6XwqY2HBoUCwa

Notice "Public Note: Haters make me famous."

So, probably intentional.

13 14 as of 6/10/14, in the last 500k transactions (edit: went up to 14 then went back to 13, then went back to 14)

This is the first time I have seen double spends while checking this section of blockchain.
Can someone explain what is going on (I assume a misunderstanding)

I received an email of someone asking me to change the title to double spend attempts, which is correct. I apologize if I made anyone confused, but I to myself was confused about these attempts.

Thanks for all your comments (I read them all for insight on your thoughts)
