There is no reason to store thousands of orphan transactions;
normally an orphan's parents will either be broadcast or
mined reasonably quickly.
This pull drops the maximum number of orphans from 10,000 down
to 100, and adds a command-line option (-maxorphantx) that is
just like -maxorphanblocks to override the default.
Flushing after every line when printing to console is desirable when
running with systemd but setvbuf() has slightly different semantics
on Windows that causes warnings. Just do an explicit fflush() after
each line print to console instead.
Bypassing the main coins cache allows more thorough checking with the same
memory budget.
This has no effect on performance because everything ends up in the child
cache created by VerifyDB itself.
It has bugged me ever since #4675, which effectively reduced the
number of checked blocks to reduce peak memory usage.
- Pass the coinsview to use as argument to VerifyDB
- This also avoids that the first `pcoinsTip->Flush()` after VerifyDB
writes a large slew of unchanged coin records back to the database.
Split up util.cpp/h into:
- string utilities (hex, base32, base64): no internal dependencies, no dependency on boost (apart from foreach)
- money utilities (parsesmoney, formatmoney)
- time utilities (gettime*, sleep, format date):
- and the rest (logging, argument parsing, config file parsing)
The latter is basically the environment and OS handling,
and is stripped of all utility functions, so we may want to
rename it to something else than util.cpp/h for clarity (Matt suggested
osinterface).
Breaks dependency of sha256.cpp on all the things pulled in by util.
This commit adds per-network information to the
getnetworkinfo RPC call:
- Is the network limited?
- Is the network reachable
- Which proxy is used for this network, if any
Inspired by #2575.
* Replace -benchmark (and the related fBenchmark) with a regular debug option, -debug=bench.
* Increase coverage and granularity of individual block processing steps.
* Add cummulative times.
First and foremost, this defaults to OFF.
This option lets a node consider such transactions non-standard,
meaning they will not be relayed or mined by default, but other miners
are free to mine these as usual.
The option is only effective for either wallet-less builds or if
-disablewallet is specified as well.

This adds a -whitelist option to specify subnet ranges from which peers
that connect are whitelisted. In addition, there is a -whitebind option
which works like -bind, except peers connecting to it are also
whitelisted (allowing a separate listen port for trusted connections).
Being whitelisted has two effects (for now):
* They are immune to DoS disconnection/banning.
* Transactions they broadcast (which are valid) are always relayed,
even if they were already in the mempool. This means that a node
can function as a gateway for a local network, and that rebroadcasts
from the local network will work as expected.
Whitelisting replaces the magic exemption localhost had for DoS
disconnection (local addresses are still never banned, though), which
implied hidden service connects (from a localhost Tor node) were
incorrectly immune to DoS disconnection as well. This old
behaviour is removed for that reason, but can be restored using
-whitelist=127.0.0.1 or -whitelist=::1 can be specified. -whitebind
is safer to use in case non-trusted localhost connections are expected
(like hidden services).
- small changes to Shutdown(), buffer __func__, which is now used in
all LogPrintf() calls and format for better readability
- order using namespace alpabetically
The wallet now uses the mempool fee estimator with a new
command-line option: -txconfirmtarget (default: 1) instead
of using hard-coded fees or priorities.
A new bitcoind that hasn't seen enough transactions to estimate
will fall back to the old hard-coded minimum priority or
transaction fee.
-paytxfee option overrides -txconfirmtarget.
Relaying and mining code isn't changed.
For Qt, the coin control dialog now uses priority estimates to
label transaction priority (instead of hard-coded constants);
unspent outputs were consistently labeled with a much higher
priority than is justified by the free transactions actually
being accepted into blocks.
I did not implement any GUI for setting -txconfirmtarget; I would
suggest getting rid of the "Pay transaction fee" GUI and replace
it with either "target number of confirmations" or maybe
a "faster confirmation <--> lower fee" slider or select box.
-respendnotify=<cmd> Execute command when a network tx respends wallet
tx input (%s=respend TxID, %t=wallet TxID)
Add respendsobserved array to gettransaction, listtransactions, and
listsinceblock RPCs. This omits the malleated clones that are included
in the walletconflicts array.
Add RPC help for respendsobserved and walletconflicts (help was missing
for the latter).
Allows network wallets and other clients to see transactions that respend
a prevout already spent in an unconfirmed transaction in this node's mempool.
Knowledge of an attempted double-spend is of interest to recipients of the
first spend. In some cases, it will allow these recipients to withhold
goods or services upon being alerted of a double-spend that deprives them
of payment.
As before, respends are not added to the mempool.
Anti-Denial-of-Service-Attack provisions:
- Use a bloom filter to relay only one respend per mempool prevout
- Rate-limit respend relays to a default of 100 thousand bytes/minute
- Define tx2.IsEquivalentTo(tx1): equality when scriptSigs are not considered
- Do not relay these equivalent transactions
Remove an unused variable declaration in txmempool.cpp.
bitcoin-config.h moved, but the old file is likely to still exist when
reconfiguring or switching branches. This would've caused files to not rebuild
correctly, and other strange problems.
Make the path explicit so that the old one cannot be found.
Core libs use config/bitcoin-config.h.
Libs (like crypto) which don't want access to bitcoin's headers continue
to use -Iconfig and #include bitcoin-config.h.
Adds a copyright and attribution message to the `-version` output
(the same as shown in the About dialog in the GUI).
Move the message to a function LicenseInfo in init.cpp.
