What do you mean by "invalid"? My impression is that if you control 51% of the mining power and have at least some amount of control over the physical network path to your victim (e.g., ability to inject RST packets), you can execute double-spend attacks.

Are double-spend attacks not a concern?

If they are not a concern, why do we need so much computational capacity for mining?
