This switches the Merkle tree logic for blocks to one that runs in constant (small) space.
The old code is moved to tests, and a new test is added that for various combinations of
block sizes, transaction positions to compute a branch for, and mutations:
* Verifies that the old code and new code agree for the Merkle root.
* Verifies that the old code and new code agree for the Merkle branch.
* Verifies that the computed Merkle branch is valid.
* Verifies that mutations don't change the Merkle root.
* Verifies that mutations are correctly detected.
1) Chainparams: Explicit CChainParams arg for main:
-AcceptBlock
-AcceptBlockHeader
-ActivateBestChain
-ConnectTip
-InitBlockIndex
-LoadExternalBlockFile
-VerifyDB parametric constructor
2) Also pickup more Params()\. in main.cpp
3) Pass nPruneAfterHeight explicitly to new FindFilesToPrune() in main.cpp
Compute the value of inputs that already are in the chain at time of mempool entry and only increase priority due to aging for those inputs. This effectively changes the CTxMemPoolEntry's GetPriority calculation from an upper bound to a lower bound.
Previously it would break if you flushed a parent cache while there was a child cache referring to it. This change will allow the flushing of parent caches.
This provides more conservative estimates and reacts more quickly to a backlog.
Unfortunately the unit test for fee estimation depends on the success threshold (and the decay) chosen; also modify the unit test for the new default success thresholds.
Update the unittest that is meant to catch a transaction that is invalid
because it has a null input. The old test failed not because of that
but because it was considered a coinbase with too large script. This is
already checked with a different test, though.
The new test is *not* a coinbase since it has two inputs, but one of
them is null. This really checks the corresponding code path in
CheckTransaction.
Transactions are not allowed in the memory pool or selected for inclusion in a block until their lock times exceed chainActive.Tip()->GetMedianTimePast(). However blocks including transactions which are only mature under the old rules are still accepted; this is *not* the soft-fork required to actually rely on the new constraint in production.
Adds an `obfuscate` parameter to `CLevelDBWrapper` and makes use of it
for all new chainstate stores built via `CCoinsViewDB`. Also adds an
`Xor` method to `CDataStream`.

Previously only one PUSHDATA was allowed, needlessly limiting
applications such as matching OP_RETURN contents with bloom filters that
operate on a per-PUSHDATA level. Now any combination that passes
IsPushOnly() is allowed, so long as the total size of the scriptPubKey
is less than 42 bytes. (unchanged modulo non-minimal PUSHDATA encodings)
Also, this fixes the odd bug where previously the PUSHDATA could be
replaced by any single opcode, even sigops consuming opcodes such as
CHECKMULTISIG. (20 sigops!)
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.
Associate with each CTxMemPoolEntry all the size/fees of descendant
mempool transactions. Sort mempool by max(feerate of entry, feerate
of descendants). Update statistics on-the-fly as transactions enter
or leave the mempool.
Also add ancestor and descendant limiting, so that transactions can
be rejected if the number or size of unconfirmed ancestors exceeds
a target, or if adding a transaction would cause some other mempool
entry to have too many (or too large) a set of unconfirmed in-
mempool descendants.
