After discussion in #7164 I think this is better.
Max tip age was introduced in #5987 to make it possible to run
testnet-in-a-box. But associating this behavior with the testnet chain
is wrong conceptually, as it is not needed in normal usage.
Should aim to make testnet test the software as-is.
Replace it with a (debug) option `-maxtipage`, which can be
specified only in the specific case.
CWalletTx::GetAmounts could not find output address for null data transactions, thus issuing an error in debug.log. This change checks to see if the transaction is OP_RETURN before issuing error.
resolves#6142
We used to have a trickle node, a node which was chosen in each iteration of
the send loop that was privileged and allowed to send out queued up non-time
critical messages. Since the removal of the fixed sleeps in the network code,
this resulted in fast and attackable treatment of such broadcasts.
This pull request changes the 3 remaining trickle use cases by random delays:
* Local address broadcast (while also removing the the wiping of the seen filter)
* Address relay
* Inv relay (for transactions; blocks are always relayed immediately)
The code is based on older commits by Patrick Strateman.
- Avoids string typos (by making the compiler check)
- Makes it easier to grep for handling/generation of a certain message type
- Refer directly to documentation by following the symbol in IDE
- Move list of valid message types to protocol.cpp:
protocol.cpp is a more appropriate place for this, and having
the array there makes it easier to keep things consistent.
Some extra bytes in libconsensus to get all the crypto (except for signing, which is in the common module) below the libconsensus future independent repo (that has libsecp256k1 as a subtree).
hmac_sha256.o seems to be the only thing libbitcoinconsensus doesn't depend on from crypto, some more bytes for the final libconsensus: I'm not personally worried.
A further pass over the available inputs has been added to ApproximateBestSubset after a candidate set has been found. It will prune any extraneous inputs in the selected subset, in order to decrease the number of input and the resulting change.
Mempool requests use a fair amount of bandwidth when the mempool is large,
disconnecting peers using them follows the same logic as disconnecting
peers fetching historical blocks.
One test in AcceptToMemoryPool was to compare a transaction's fee
agains the value returned by GetMinRelayFee. This value was zero for
all small transactions. For larger transactions (between
DEFAULT_BLOCK_PRIORITY_SIZE and MAX_STANDARD_TX_SIZE), this function
was preventing low fee transactions from ever being accepted.
With this function removed, we will now allow transactions in that range
with fees (including modifications via PrioritiseTransaction) below
the minRelayTxFee, provided that they have sufficient priority.
Redo the feerate index to be based on mining score, rather than fee.
Update mempool_packages.py to test prioritisetransaction's effect on
package scores.
- Add new translations (finally, after a long time)
- update-translation script was not considering new translations - oops
- fixed this, also remove (nearly) empty translations
- Update translation process, it was still describing the old repository
