Some people keep thinking that MAX_BLOCK_BASE_SIZE is a separate
size limit from the weight limit when it fact it is superfluous,
and used in early tests before the witness data has been
validated or just to compute worst case sizes. The size checks
that use it would not behave any differently consensus wise
if they were eliminated completely.
Its correct value is not independently settable but is a function
of the weight limit and weight formula.
This patch just eliminates it and uses the scale factor as
required to compute the worse case constants.
It also moves the weight factor out of primitives into consensus,
which is a more logical place for it.
The number of arguments is not checked MutateTxAddOutAddr(..), meaning
that
> ./bitcoin-tx -create outaddr=
accessed the vStrInputParts vector beyond its bounds.
This also includes work by jnewbery to check the inputs for
MutateTxAddPubKey()
This commit enhances bitcoin-tx so all remaining standard TXO types can be created:
- Pay to Pub Key
- Multi-sig
- bare multi-sig
- multi-sig in Pay To Script Hash
- multi-sig in Pay to Witness Script Hash
- multi-sig in Pay to Witness Script Hash, wrapped in P2SH
- Pay to Witness Pub Key Hash
- Pay to Witness Pub Key Hash, wrapped in P2SH
- Pay to Witness Script Hash
- Pay to Witness Script Hash, wrapped in P2SH
- `--help`, `--version` etc should exit with `0` i.e. no error ("not enough args" case should still trigger an error)
- error reading config file should exit with `1`
Slightly refactor AppInitRPC/AppInitRawTx to return standard exit codes (EXIT_FAILURE/EXIT_SUCCESS) or CONTINUE_EXECUTION (-1)
These changes decode valid SIGHASH types on signatures in assembly (asm) representations of scriptSig scripts.
This squashed commit incorporates substantial helpful feedback from jtimon, laanwj, and sipa.
libsecp256k1's API changed, so update key.cpp to use it.
Libsecp256k1 now has explicit context objects, which makes it completely thread-safe.
In turn, keep an explicit context object in key.cpp, which is explicitly initialized
destroyed. This is not really pretty now, but it's more efficient than the static
initialized object in key.cpp (which made for example bitcoin-tx slow, as for most of
its calls, libsecp256k1 wasn't actually needed).
This also brings in the new blinding support in libsecp256k1. By passing in a random
seed, temporary variables during the elliptic curve computations are altered, in such
a way that if an attacker does not know the blind, observing the internal operations
leaks less information about the keys used. This was implemented by Greg Maxwell.
