Previously these functions would infinitely loop if sync failed;
now they have a default timeout of 60 seconds, after which an
AssertionError is raised.
sync_blocks() has also been improved and now compares the tip
hash of each node, rather than just using block count.
If a node is offline failed outbound connection attempts will crank up
the addrman counter and effectively blow away our state.
This change reduces the problem by only counting attempts made while
the node believes it has outbound connections to at least two
netgroups.
Connect and addnode connections are also not counted, as there is no
reason to unequally penalize them for their more frequent
connections -- though there should be no real effect from this
unless their addnode configureation is later removed.
Wasteful repeated connection attempts while only a few connections are
up are avoided via nLastTry.
This is still somewhat incomplete protection because our outbound
peers could be down but not timed out or might all be on 'local'
networks (although the requirement for multiple netgroups helps).
The ability to GETDATA a transaction which has not (yet) been relayed
is a privacy loss vector.
The use of the mempool for this was added as part of the mempool p2p
message and is only needed to fetch transactions returned by it.
Any attacker who managed to make an evil commit that changed something in the
contrib/verify-commits/ directory could just as easily remove the warning
and/or modify it to not display the evil commits; telling the user to check
those commits specifically misleads them into checking just those commits
rather than the script itself.
Now that caches are distinct (https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/4393),
we can use the Travis minimal image.
The minimal image should take less time to setup and lead to quicker builds.
Also addressed while I'm in here:
- No need to delete the broken google-chrome repo in the minimal image
- Set the hostname to work-around an openjdk bug
- Remove the non-functional apt-cache option
- Remove useless message at completion
- Install jre where the java tests are run
