When the internal miner is enabled at the start of a new node, there
is an near instant assert in TestBlockValidity because its attempting
to mine a block before the top checkpoint.
Also avoids a data race around vNodes.
If there are any script verification errors, when using "signrawtransaction", they are shown in the RPC result:
```
// ...
Result:
{
"hex" : "value", (string) The hex-encoded raw transaction with signature(s)
"complete" : true|false, (boolean) If the transaction has a complete set of signatures
"errors" : [ (json array of objects) Script verification errors (if there are any)
{
"txid" : "hash", (string) The hash of the referenced, previous transaction
"vout" : n, (numeric) The index of the output to spent and used as input
"scriptSig" : "hex", (string) The hex-encoded signature script
"sequence" : n, (numeric) Script sequence number
"error" : "text" (string) Verification or signing error related to the input
}
,...
]
}
```
Connecting the chain can take quite a while.
All the while it is still showing `Loading wallet...`.
Add an init message to inform the user what is happening.
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.
Use a probabilistic bloom filter to keep track of which addresses
we think we have given our peers, instead of a list.
This uses much less memory, at the cost of sometimes failing to
relay an address to a peer-- worst case if the bloom filter happens
to be as full as it gets, 1-in-1,000.
Measured memory usage of a full mruset setAddrKnown: 650Kbytes
Constant memory usage of CRollingBloomFilter addrKnown: 37Kbytes.
This will also help heap fragmentation, because the 37K of storage
is allocated when a CNode is created (when a connection to a peer
is established) and then there is no per-item-remembered memory
allocation.
I plan on testing by restarting a full node with an empty peers.dat,
running a while with -debug=addrman and -debug=net, and making sure
that the 'addr' message traffic out is reasonable.
(suggestions for better tests welcome)
For when you need to keep track of the last N items
you've seen, and can tolerate some false-positives.

This commit adds several tests to the script_invalid.json data which
exercise some edge conditions that are not currently being tested.
These are mainly being added to cover several cases a branch coverage
analysis of btcd showed are not already being covered, but given more
tests of edge conditions are always a good thing, I'm contributing
them upstream.
The test which is intended to prove that the script engine is properly
rejecting non-minimally encoded PUSHDATA4 data is using the wrong
opcode and value. The test is using 0x4f, which is OP_1NEGATE instead
of the desired 0x4e, which is OP_PUSHDATA4. Further, the push of data
is intended to be 256 bytes, but the value the test is using is
0x00100000 (4096), instead of the desired 0x00010000 (256).
This commit fixes both issues.
This was found while examining the branch coverage in btcd against only
these tests to help find missing branch coverage.
