Create a combinerawtransaction RPC which accepts a json array of hex raw
transactions to combine them into one transaction. Signrawtransaction is changed
to no longer combine transactions and only accept one transaction at a time.
fundrawtransaction allows users to add a change output and then
not have it removed from keypool. While it would be nice to have
users follow the normal CreateTransaction/CommitTransaction process
we use internally, there isnt much benefit in exposing this option,
especially with HD wallets, while there is ample room for users to
misunderstand or misuse this option.
This could be particularly nasty in some use-cases (especially
pre-HD-split) - eg a user might fundrawtransaction, then call
getnewaddress, hand out the address for someone to pay them, then
sendrawtransaction. This may result in the user thinking they have
received payment, even though it was really just their own change!
This could obviously result in needless key-reuse.
Any change output which would be dust at the discard_rate you are
willing to discard completely and add to fee (as well as continuing to
pay the fee that would have been needed for creating the change).
This fixes an issue where you could reserve a keypool entry, then
top up the keypool, writing out a new key at the given index, then
return they key from the pool. This isnt likely to cause issues,
but given there is no reason to ever re-use keypool indexes
(they're 64 bits...), best to avoid it alltogether.
Change parameter for conservative estimates to be an estimate_mode string.
Change to never return a -1 for failure but to instead omit the feerate and
return an error string. Throw JSONRPC error on invalid nblocks parameter.
Alternative to #10818, alternative solution to #10815.
After this change: All the AppInit steps before and inclusive
AppInitLockDataDirectory must not have Shutdown() called in case of
failure. Only when AppInitMain fails, Shutdown should be called.
Changes the GUI and bitcoind code to consistently do this.
This redefines dust to be the value of an output such that it would
cost that value in fees to (create and) spend the output at the dust
relay rate. The previous definition was that it would cost 1/3 of the
value. The default dust relay rate is correspondingly increased to
3000 sat/kB so the actual default dust output value of 546 satoshis
for a non-segwit output remains unchanged. This commit is a refactor
only unless a dustrelayfee is passed on the commandline in which case
that number now needs to be increased by a factor of 3 to get the same
behavior. -dustrelayfee is a hidden command line option.
Note: It's not exactly a refactor due to edge case changes in rounding
as evidenced by the required change to the unit test.
zapwallettxes previously did not interact well with persistent mempool.
zapwallettxes would cause wallet transactions to be zapped, but they
would then be reloaded from the mempool on startup. This commit softsets
persistmempool to false if zapwallettxes is enabled so transactions are
actually zapped.
Avoid static analyzer warnings regarding "Function call argument
is a pointer to uninitialized value" in cases where we are
intentionally using such arguments.
This is achieved by using ...
`f(b.begin(), b.end())` (`std::array<char, N>`)
... instead of ...
`f(b, b + N)` (`char b[N]`)
Rationale:
* Reduce false positives by guiding static analyzers regarding our
intentions.

This check has been moved to the wallet logic GetMinimumFee. The rpc call to
estimatesmartfee will now no longer return a result maxed with the mempool min
fee, but automated fee calculations from the wallet will produce the same result
as before and coincontrol and sendcoins dialogs in the GUI will correctly
display the right prospective fee.
changes to policy/fees.cpp include a big whitespace indentation change.
Remove helper function (CalculateEstimateType) for determining whether
estimates should be conservative or not, now that this is only called
once from GetMinimumFee and incorporate the logic directly there.
This fixes buggy behavior where we were temporarily setting and unsetting the
global payTxFee when trying to send a transaction with a custom fee from the
GUI. The previous behavior was inconsistent depending on the order of using the
RPC call settxfee and clicking various radio buttons in the sendcoinsdialog.
The new behavior is that transactions sent with the GUI will always use either
the smartfee slider value or the custom fee set on the GUI and they will not
affect the global defaults which are only for RPC and initial GUI values.
