Previously various user-facing strings have used inconsistent currency units "BTC",
"btc" and "bitcoins". This adds a single constant and uses it for each reference to
the currency unit.
Also adds a description of the unit for --maxtxfee, and adds the missing "amount"
field description to the (deprecated) move RPC command.
Fixes#2007
This checks to see if the system clock appears to be bad and gives a
helpful error message. If the user's clock is set incorrectly, hopefully
they'll abort, fix it, and then save themselves a fruitless resync.
This avoids that premature return in the condition that a new chain is initialized
results in NULL pointer errors due to recentReject not being constructed.
Also add assertions where it is used.
Introduce a PlatformStyle to handle platform-specific customization of
the UI.
This replaces 'scicon', as well as #ifdefs to determine whether to place
icons on buttons.
The selected PlatformStyle defaults to the platform that the application
was compiled on, but can be overridden from the command line with
`-uiplatform=<x>`.
Also fixes the warning from #6328.
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.
Clean up the code in chainparams a bit more after the recent
refactorings. In particular, make sure the structure of the "RegTest"
params matches the structure of the other classes. This makes the code
clearer to read.
Also remove redundant values of the genesis block in always-specified
optional arguments and mark variable/argument as "const".
Nodes can have divergent policies on which transactions they will accept
and relay. This can cause you to repeatedly request and reject the same
tx after its inved to you from various peers which have accepted it.
Here we add rolling bloom filter to keep track of such rejections,
clearing the filter every time the chain tip changes.
Credit goes to Alex Morcos, who created the patch that this code is
based on.
Original code by Peter Todd. Refactored to not construct the
filter at startup time by Pieter Wuille.
While CBloomFilter is usually used with an explicitly set nTweak,
CRollingBloomFilter is only used internally. Requiring every caller to
set nTweak is error-prone and redundant; better to have the class handle
that for you with a high-quality randomness source.
Additionally when clearing the filter it makes sense to change nTweak as
well to recover from a bad setting, e.g. due to insufficient randomness
at initialization, so the clear() method is replaced by a reset() method
that sets a new, random, nTweak value.
As suggested by Greg Maxwell-- unit test to make sure a block
with a double-spend in it doesn't pass validation if half of
the double-spend is already in the memory pool (so full-blown
transaction validation is skipped) when the block is received.
`bitcoind -X -noX` ends up, unintuitively, with `X` set.
(for all boolean options X)
This result is due to the odd two-pass processing of arguments. This
patch fixes this oddity and simplifies the code at the same time.
Accept strings containing decimal values, in addition to bare values.
Useful from JSON-RPC implementations where it's not possible to have
direct control over the text of numbers (e.g. where numbers are always
doubles), and it's still desired to send an exact value.
This would allow users to post JSON content with numbers encoded like
`{"value": "0.00000001"}` instead of `{"value": 0.00000001}` which some
php/python encoders wrap into 1e-8, or worse.
Handle the case where no chain tip is available, in InvalidChainFound(). This fixes a null pointer deference when running unit tests, if the genesis block or block validation code is broken.
This indicates that, eg, we have a public key for a key which may
be used as a pay-to-pubkey-hash. It generally means that we can
create a valid scriptSig except for missing private key(s) with
which to create signatures.
Since unspendable outputs can't be spent, there is no threshold at which it would be uneconomic to spend them.
This primarily targets transaction outputs with `OP_RETURN`.

Changes:
- cherry-picked on top of bitcoin:master
- added RPC test for fundrawtransaction
JSON makes no distinction between numbers and reals, and our code
doesn't need to do so either.
This removes VREAL, as well as its specific post-processing in
`UniValue::write`. Non-monetary amounts do not need to be forcibly
formatted with 8 decimals, so the extra roundtrip was unnecessary
(and potentially loses precision).
