- implement find_value() function for UniValue
- replace all Array/Value/Object types with UniValues, remove JSON Spirit to UniValue wrapper
- remove JSON Spirit sources
Changes:
* Add Add/Have WatchOnly methods to CKeyStore, and implementations
in CBasicKeyStore.
* Add similar methods to CWallet, and support entries for it in
CWalletDB.
* Make IsMine in script/wallet return a new enum 'isminetype',
rather than a boolean. This allows distinguishing between
spendable and unspendable coins.
* Add a field fSpendable to COutput (GetAvailableCoins' return type).
* Mark watchonly coins in listunspent as 'watchonly': true.
* Add 'watchonly' to validateaddress, suppressing script/pubkey/...
in this case.

By default, all command line parameters are converted into JSON string
values. There is no need to manually specify the incoming type.
A binary decision "parse as string or JSON?" is all that's necessary.
Convert to a simple class, initialized at runtime startup, which offers
a quick lookup to answer "parse as JSON?" conversion question.
Future parameter conversions need only to indicate the method name
and zero-based index of the parameter needing JSON parsing.
As it says on the tin. It was deprecated in version 0.9, and
at some point it should be removed.
Removes the dependency of bitcoind on libbitcoin-cli.a. Move
some functions that used to be shared but are now only used in
bitcoin-cli.cpp to that file.
After this change, an error is printed (and exit code 1 is returned)
when the user tries to send RPC commands using bitcoind.
New RPC methods: return an estimate of the fee (or priority) a
transaction needs to be likely to confirm in a given number of
blocks.
Mike Hearn created the first version of this method for estimating fees.
It works as follows:
For transactions that took 1 to N (I picked N=25) blocks to confirm,
keep N buckets with at most 100 entries in each recording the
fees-per-kilobyte paid by those transactions.
(separate buckets are kept for transactions that confirmed because
they are high-priority)
The buckets are filled as blocks are found, and are saved/restored
in a new fee_estiamtes.dat file in the data directory.
A few variations on Mike's initial scheme:
To estimate the fee needed for a transaction to confirm in X buckets,
all of the samples in all of the buckets are used and a median of
all of the data is used to make the estimate. For example, imagine
25 buckets each containing the full 100 entries. Those 2,500 samples
are sorted, and the estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the very
next block is the 50'th-highest-fee-entry in that sorted list; the
estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the next two blocks is the
150'th-highest-fee-entry, etc.
That algorithm has the nice property that estimates of how much fee
you need to pay to get confirmed in block N will always be greater
than or equal to the estimate for block N+1. It would clearly be wrong
to say "pay 11 uBTC and you'll get confirmed in 3 blocks, but pay
12 uBTC and it will take LONGER".
A single block will not contribute more than 10 entries to any one
bucket, so a single miner and a large block cannot overwhelm
the estimates.
Just a pet peeve.
(PrintException has exactly the same body as PrintExceptionContinue but
does a re-throw at the end. Move these re-throws to the call
site, this aids understanding what is going on as well as eliminates a
bit of code duplication in util.cpp)
Remove unnecessary dependencies for bitcoin-cli
(leveldb, berkelydb, wallet, RPC server)
Build system changes:
- split libbitcoin.a into libbitcoin_common.a, libbitcoin_server.a and
libbitcoin_cli.a
Code changes (movement only):
- split up HelpMessage into HelpMessage in init.cpp and HelpMessageCli
in rpcclient.cpp
- move uiInterface from init.cpp to util.cpp
Split bitcoinrpc up into
- rpcserver: bitcoind RPC server
- rpcclient: bitcoin-cli RPC client
- rpcprotocol: shared common HTTP/JSON-RPC protocol code
One step towards making bitcoin-cli independent from the rest
of the code, and thus a smaller executable that doesn't have to
be linked against leveldb.
This commit only does code movement, there are no functional changes.
