cccc4e879a8cb9d858a88ea46b28ea27ab79ca55 Remove nHeightEnd and nHeight in generateBlocks helper (MarcoFalke) fa38b1c8bd29e2c792737f6481ab928e46396b7e Remove buggy and confusing IncrementExtraNonce (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: IncrementExtraNonce has many issues: * It is test-only code, but part of bitcoind * It is using the block height of the tip, as opposed to the block's previous block as reference for the new height. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/24730#issuecomment-1085586193 * It has no use case in regtest testing. With a low difficulty the extra nonce won't be incremented. With a high difficulty the test-only functions are clumsy to handle anyway. For example, the generate* RPCs will return an empty array once they reached `maxtries`, as opposed to an error. Also the calls can't be aborted early unless the node shuts down completely. So I think it is fine to just remove the extra nonce functionality and leave it to the outside to implement, if needed. For example, a wrapper script can call the `generate*` RPCs once every second, to use the timestamp as extra nonce.

src/node/
The src/node/ directory contains code that needs to access node state
(state in CChain, CBlockIndex, CCoinsView, CTxMemPool, and similar
classes).
Code in src/node/ is meant to be segregated from code in
src/wallet/ and src/qt/, to ensure wallet and GUI
code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code
to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI
code to be maintained in separate source repositories.
As a rule of thumb, code in one of the src/node/,
src/wallet/, or src/qt/ directories should avoid
calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly
through the more limited src/interfaces/ classes.
This directory is at the moment
sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like
src/validation.cpp and
src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
