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.
Use CFeeRate instead of an int64_t for quantities that are
fee-per-size.
Helps prevent unit-conversion mismatches between the wallet,
relaying, and mining code.
- re-work change address handling so that default is CNoDestination(),
until a verified and known change address was entered (easier code flow)
- add a missing NULL pointer check for adresstablemodel
- add a missing text when opening coin control address selection for
priority and ensure the label is black
- add a missing . at the end of a sentence
- remove style sheets from ui files and use Qt attributes instead
- make some more strings untranslatable, to make life for translators
easier
- split up long tooltips an rework the texts a little
- add missing license headers
- make compatible with Qt5
- enforce header cleanup style
- small code style cleanups
- rename Coin Control dialog into Coin Control Address Selection
- use default font for the windows labels (no monospace)
