Due to the iterative process of selecting new coins in each loop a new fee is
calculated that needs to be met each time. In the typical case if the most
recent iteration of the loop produced a much smaller transaction and we have now
gathered inputs with too many fees, we can just reduce the change. However in
the case where there is no change output, it is possible to end up with a
transaction which drastically overpays fees. This commit addresses that case,
by creating a change output if the overpayment is large enough to support it,
this is accomplished by rerunning the transaction creation loop without
selecting new coins.
Thanks to instagibbs for working on this as well
Add support for setting each of these attributes on a per RPC call basis to sendtoaddress, sendmany, fundrawtransaction (already had RBF), and bumpfee (already had RBF and conf target).
GetMinimumFee now passes the conservative argument into estimateSmartFee.
Call CalculateEstimateType(mode) before calling GetMinimumFee or estimateSmartFee to determine the value of this argument.
CCoinControl can now be used to control this mode.
Use __func__ macro in std::runtime_exception to:
1. fix method name in CWalletTx::GetAvailableWatchOnlyCredit()
2. refactor CWalletTx::GetAvailableCredit()
This makes it possible to mine to any wallet when multi-wallet mode is added.
Solves the same problem as #10649, but IMO in a cleaner way.
It also gets rid of the circuitous `ScriptForMining` method on
`CValidationInterface`, which really doesn't belong there.
After this change it's still possible to mine without wallet through
`generatetoaddress`.
A few "a->an" and "an->a".
"Shows, if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy" -> "Shows if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy". Change made on 3 occurrences.
"without fully understanding the ramification of a command" -> "without fully understanding the ramifications of a command".
Removed duplicate words such as "the the".
Use case: TryCreateDirectory(GetDataDir() / "blocks" / "index") would
fail if the blocks directory was not explicitly created before.
The line that did so was in a weird location and could be removed as a
result.
This change has no effect on wallet behavior.
On wallet startup, the transaction scan avoids reading any blocks with
timestamps older than the wallet birthday (less than nTimeFirstKey -
TIMESTAMP_WINDOW). This block skipping code currently resides in
CWallet::ScanForWalletTransactions but it doesn't really belong there because
it makes the implementation unnecessarily fragile and hard to understand, and
it never has any effect except at startup (because all other callers do their
rescans based on timestamps other than, but always greater or equal to,
nTimeFirstKey).
