This allows for much finer control of the transaction fees per kilobyte
as it prevent small transactions using a fee that is more appropriate
for one that is of a kilobyte.
This also allows controlling the fee per kilobyte over rpc such that:
bitcoin-cli settxfee `bitcoin-cli estimatefee 2`
would make sense, while currently it grossly fails often by a factor of x3
Previous text could be interpreted as the the _additional_ fee paid by
the result on top of the fee the original version paid, rather than the
correct interpretation: the absolute fee the resulting tx pays.
* Introduce new constant MIN_CHANGE and use it instead of the
hardcoded "CENT"
* Add test case for MIN_CHANGE
* Introduce new constant for -mintxfee default:
DEFAULT_TRANSACTION_MINFEE = 1000
Assume that when a wallet transaction has a valid block hash and transaction position
in it, the transaction is actually there. We're already trusting wallet data in a
much more fundamental way anyway.
To prevent backward compatibility issues, a new record is used for storing the
block locator in the wallet. Old wallets will see a wallet file synchronized up
to the genesis block, and rescan automatically.
Complete rescan is incompatible with pruning, but rescan is optional on
our wallet key import RPCs. Import on use is very useful in some common
situations in conjunction with pruning, e.g. merchant payment tracking.
This reenables importprivkey/importaddress/importpubkey when rescan
is not used.
In the future we should consider changing the rescan argument to allow depth
or date to allow limited rescanning when compatible with the retained
block depth.
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.
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.
CTransAction::IsEquivalentTo was introduced in #5881.
This functionality is only useful to the wallet, and should never have
been added to the primitive transaction type.
Now that the off-by-one error w/nLockTime txs issue has been fixed by
87550eef (75a4d512 in the 0.11 branch) we can make the anti-fee-sniping
protection create transactions with nLockTime set such that they're only
valid in the next block, rather than an earlier block.
There was also a concern about poor propagation, however testing with
transactions with nLockTime = GetAdjustedTime()+1 as a proxy for
nLockTime propagation, as well as a few transactions sent the moment
blocks were received, has turned up no detectable issues with
propagation. If you have a block at a given height you certainly have at
least one peer with that block who will accept the transaction. That
peer will certainly have other peers who will accept it, and soon
essentially the whole network has the transaction. In particular, if a
node recives a transaction that it rejects due to the tx being
non-final, it will be accepted again later as it winds its way around
the network.
- fixes#3136
- the problem is related to Boost path and a static initialized internal
pointer
- using a std::string in CDBEnv::EnvShutdown() prevents the problem
- this removes the boost::filesystem::path path field from CDBEnv
- rpcwallet: No need to lock twice here
- openssl: Clang doesn't understand selective lock/unlock here. Ignore it.
- CNode: Fix a legitimate (though very unlikely) locking bug.
Chance "getbalance *" not to use IsTrusted. The method and result
now match the "getbalance <specific-account>" behavior. In
particular, "getbalance * 0" now works.
Also fixed a comment -- GetGalance has required 1 confirmation
for many years, and the default "getbalance *" behavior matches
that.
