Since unspendable outputs can't be spent, there is no threshold at which it would be uneconomic to spend them.
This primarily targets transaction outputs with `OP_RETURN`.

Changes:
- cherry-picked on top of bitcoin:master
- added RPC test for fundrawtransaction
JSON makes no distinction between numbers and reals, and our code
doesn't need to do so either.
This removes VREAL, as well as its specific post-processing in
`UniValue::write`. Non-monetary amounts do not need to be forcibly
formatted with 8 decimals, so the extra roundtrip was unnecessary
(and potentially loses precision).
This removes the `conflictedbalance.sh` test as well, but that test has
been broken for a long time and isn't part of any scripts.
What it does is, IMO, sufficiently tested by other tests.
In txn_clone.py, non-essential test transaction tx2 was asserted
to be unconfirmed, but would occasionally confirm depending on
network behavior. Fix by explicitly sharing with miner and
checking for 1 confirmation.
Reduce required conflict tests from 4 to 2, by moving one invocation
each of txn_clone.py and txn_doublespend.py to the extented test
section. This saves about 15 seconds per test run for me.
This class groups transactions that have been confirmed in blocks into buckets, based on either their fee or their priority. Then for each bucket, the class calculates what percentage of the transactions were confirmed within various numbers of blocks. It does this by keeping an exponentially decaying moving history for each bucket and confirm block count of the percentage of transactions in that bucket that were confirmed within that number of blocks.
-Eliminate txs which didn't have all inputs available at entry from fee/pri calcs
-Add dynamic breakpoints and tracking of confirmation delays in mempool transactions
-Remove old CMinerPolicyEstimator and CBlockAverage code
-New smartfees.py
-Pass a flag to the estimation code, using IsInitialBlockDownload as a proxy for when we are still catching up and we shouldn't be counting how many blocks it takes for transactions to be included.
-Add a policyestimator unit test
Does what the old txnmall.sh test did.
Creates an equivalent malleated clone and tests that SyncMetaData
syncs the accounting effects from the original transaction to the
confirmed clone.
Tests error reporting of transaction signing via RPC call "signrawtransaction".
Expected results:
Test 1: create and sign a valid raw transaction with one input:
- 1) The transaction has a complete set of signatures
- 2) No script verification error occurred
Test 2: create and sign a raw transaction with one valid, one invalid and one missing input script:
- 3) The transaction has no complete set of signatures
- 4) Two script verification errors occurred
- 5) Script verification errors have certain properties ("txid", "vout", "scriptSig", "sequence", "error")
- 6) The verification errors refer to the invalid (vin 1) and missing input (vin 2)
Previously, each NodeConnCB had its own lock to synchronize data structures
used by the testing thread and the networking thread, and NodeConn provided a
separate additional lock for synchronizing access to each send buffer. This
commit replaces those locks with a single global lock (mininode_lock) that we
use to synchronize access to all data structures shared by the two threads.
Updates comptool and maxblocksinflight to use the new synchronization
semantics, eliminating previous race conditions within comptool, and re-enables
invalidblockrequest.py in travis.
script.py is modified from the code in python-bitcoinlib, and provides tools
for manipulating and creating CScript objects.
bignum.py is a dependency for script.py
script_test.py is an example test that uses the script tools for running a test
that compares the behavior of two nodes, in a comptool- style test, for each of
the test cases in the bitcoin unit test script files, script_valid.json and
script_invalid.json. (This test is very slow to run, but is a proof of concept
for how we can write tests to compare consensus-critical behavior between
different versions of bitcoind.)
bipdersig-p2p.py is another example test in the comptool framework, which tests
deployment of BIP DERSIG for a single node. It uses the script.py tools for
manipulating signatures to be non-DER compliant.
comptool.py creates a tool for running a test suite on top of the mininode p2p
framework. It supports two types of tests: those for which we expect certain
behavior (acceptance or rejection of a block or transaction) and those for
which we are just comparing that the behavior of 2 or more nodes is the same.
blockstore.py defines BlockStore and TxStore, which provide db-backed maps
between block/tx hashes and the corresponding block or tx.
blocktools.py defines utility functions for creating and manipulating blocks
and transactions.
invalidblockrequest.py is an example test in the comptool framework, which
tests the behavior of a single node when sent two different types of invalid
blocks (a block with a duplicated transaction and a block with a bad coinbase
value).
mininode.py provides a framework for connecting to a bitcoin node over the p2p
network. NodeConn is the main object that manages connectivity to a node and
provides callbacks; the interface for those callbacks is defined by NodeConnCB.
Defined also are all data structures from bitcoin core that pass on the network
(CBlock, CTransaction, etc), along with de-/serialization functions.
maxblocksinflight.py is an example test using this framework that tests whether
a node is limiting the maximum number of in-flight block requests.
This also adds support to util.py for specifying the binary to use when
starting nodes (for tests that compare the behavior of different bitcoind
versions), and adds maxblocksinflight.py to the pull tester.
