Well, the "transaction malleability spam bot" is having a lot of fun, every single transaction I've broadcasted today has been "mutated".

Pretty useless for the attacker but also pretty annoying for the users to have the client filled by all those unconfirmed transactions... And I can bet that some novice might get scared and think they are spending their coins twice.

I believe it is connected to the "Enjoy Sochi" satoshis that are spamming the blockchain right now...

Someone should track these...

Why?  They aren't actually double spends.  Blockchain needs to fix their definition... Duplicate transactions with different txid's are fine and no cause for alarm.  Transaction maliability is irrelevent to bitcoin functioning.
