This adds a -prune=N option to bitcoind, which if set to N>0 will enable block
file pruning. When pruning is enabled, block and undo files will be deleted to
try to keep total space used by those files to below the prune target (N, in
MB) specified by the user, subject to some constraints:
- The last 288 blocks on the main chain are always kept (MIN_BLOCKS_TO_KEEP),
- N must be at least 550MB (chosen as a value for the target that could
reasonably be met, with some assumptions about block sizes, orphan rates,
etc; see comment in main.h),
- No blocks are pruned until chainActive is at least 100,000 blocks long (on
mainnet; defined separately for mainnet, testnet, and regtest in chainparams
as nPruneAfterHeight).
This unsets NODE_NETWORK if pruning is enabled.
Also included is an RPC test for pruning (pruning.py).
Thanks to @rdponticelli for earlier work on this feature; this is based in
part off that work.
has parts of @mhearn#4351
* allows querying the utxos over REST
* same binary input and outputs as mentioned in Bip64
* input format = output format
* various rpc/rest regtests
Ever since #5957 there has been the problem that older RPC test cases
(as can be found plenty in open pulls) use setgenerate() on regtest,
assuming a different interpretation of the arguments. Directly
generating a number of blocks has been split off into a new method
`generate` - however using `setgenerate` with the previous arguments will
result in spawning an unreasonable number of threads, and well, simply
not work as expected without clear indication of the error.
Add an error to point the user at the right method.
It's reasonable that automatic coin selection will not pick a zero
value txout, but they're actually spendable; and you should know
if you have them. Listing also makes them available to tools like
dust-b-gone.
- write "Bitcoins" uppercase
- replace secure/insecure for payment requests with
authenticated/unauthenticated
- change a translatable string for payment request expiry to match another
existing string to only get ONE resulting string to translate
On hosts that had spent some time with a failed internet connection their
nAttempts penalty was going through the roof (e.g. thousands for all peers)
and as a result the connect search was pegging the CPU and failing to get
more than a 4 connections after days of running (because it was taking so
long per try).
According to Tor's extensions to the SOCKS protocol
(https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/socks-extensions.txt)
it is possible to perform stream isolation by providing authentication
to the proxy. Each set of credentials will create a new circuit,
which makes it harder to correlate connections.
This patch adds an option, `-proxyrandomize` (on by default) that randomizes
credentials for every outgoing connection, thus creating a new circuit.

Compare the block download timeout to what the timeout would be if calculated
based on current time and current value of nQueuedValidatedHeaders, but
ignoring other in-flight blocks from the same peer. If the calculation based on
present conditions is shorter, then set that to be the time after which we
disconnect the peer for not delivering this block.

Some tests in CheckBlockIndex require chainActive.Tip(), but when reindexing, chainActive has not been set on the first call to CheckBlockIndex.
reindex.py starts a node, mines 3 blocks, stops, and reindexes with CheckBlockIndex enabled.
Define CTransaction::IsEquivalentTo(const CTransaction& tx)
True if only scriptSigs are different. In other words, true if
the two transactions are malleability clones. In other words,
true if the two transactions have the same effect on the
outside universe.
In the wallet, only SyncMetaData for equivalent transactions.
SendMessages will now call getheaders on both inbound and outbound peers,
once the headers chain is close to synced. It will also try downloading
blocks from inbound peers once we're out of initial block download (so
inbound peers will participate in parallel block fetching for the last day
or two of blocks being downloaded).
