This adds a -prune=N option to bitcoind, which if set to N>0 will enable block
file pruning. When pruning is enabled, block and undo files will be deleted to
try to keep total space used by those files to below the prune target (N, in
MB) specified by the user, subject to some constraints:
- The last 288 blocks on the main chain are always kept (MIN_BLOCKS_TO_KEEP),
- N must be at least 550MB (chosen as a value for the target that could
reasonably be met, with some assumptions about block sizes, orphan rates,
etc; see comment in main.h),
- No blocks are pruned until chainActive is at least 100,000 blocks long (on
mainnet; defined separately for mainnet, testnet, and regtest in chainparams
as nPruneAfterHeight).
This unsets NODE_NETWORK if pruning is enabled.
Also included is an RPC test for pruning (pruning.py).
Thanks to @rdponticelli for earlier work on this feature; this is based in
part off that work.
has parts of @mhearn#4351
* allows querying the utxos over REST
* same binary input and outputs as mentioned in Bip64
* input format = output format
* various rpc/rest regtests
Ever since #5957 there has been the problem that older RPC test cases
(as can be found plenty in open pulls) use setgenerate() on regtest,
assuming a different interpretation of the arguments. Directly
generating a number of blocks has been split off into a new method
`generate` - however using `setgenerate` with the previous arguments will
result in spawning an unreasonable number of threads, and well, simply
not work as expected without clear indication of the error.
Add an error to point the user at the right method.
It's reasonable that automatic coin selection will not pick a zero
value txout, but they're actually spendable; and you should know
if you have them. Listing also makes them available to tools like
dust-b-gone.
