While looking at the network code, we realized this code is unused and
largely unmaintained. Given issue #2231, and its removal in 1.21, it's
time to remove it now.
This has the nice benefit of removing a single point of failure/control
(because it depends on a keypair to send alerts).
This code restores the pre-alert behavior before the merge of PR #1470.
Sets the high tx fee to be higher than the default values
implemented by the wallet. The highest value from the QT coin
control slider is 5.21 DOGE.
Therefore, a 10 DOGE/kB high tx fee should suffice for now.
Introduces RECOMMENDED_MIN_TX_FEE as a constant that explicitly
sets a single value and then implements this value for each fee
related constant throughout the code, instead of using values
relative to COIN. This helps because it makes the relation of
other defaults to the fee recommendation clear and makes
choices made by developers in wallet configuration easier to
read and understand.
This commit only changes existing values to be expressed relative
to the recommended fee and does not change actual values.
* Reduce DEFAULT_FALLBACK_FEE to 1,000,000 Koinu. Note this by itself has no effect as the required fee is higher.
* Reduce wallet minimum fees to 0.01 DOGE
* Update DEFAULT_DUST_LIMIT
* Revise derived values after updating recommended fees
* Remove fee rounding from RPC tests
* Revert tests back to Bitcoin originals where possible
Checking scrypt PoW is expensive and needless in this case. All block
headers are already checked when they are accepted, and they will be
checked again on the receiving end.
Block download timeouts are expressed as a fraction of block interval time, so Dogecoin values have been too aggressive.
Matching Bitcoin values as a starting point.
Reduces DEFAULT_MEMPOOL_EXPIRY from 336 hours to 24 hours.
Motivation is that while blocks are empty, un-relayable tx are
stuck in mempools for a long time and effectively locking utxo
for 2 weeks until they can be respent, if no RBF opt-in was
performed (most wallet implementations do not do RBF opt-in.)
As the expectation is that block space will not be fully utilized
for the foreseeable future, and therefore, as long as this is the
case, no valid transaction should ever live in the mempool for
more than a couple of minutes.
This default setting can be overridden with the -mempoolexpiry
parameter by individual node operators to a value (expressed
in hours) that makes the most sense for the use cases the node
serves.
Fix pruneheight help text.
Move fPruneMode block to match output ordering with help text.
Add functional tests for new fields in getblockchaininfo.
Rebase-from: bitcoin#b7dfc6c4
* Enable full block tests
* Fix invalidblocktest
* Move watch only address funding to immediately before it's used, so node 0 doesn't spend the output before it checks it later.
* Fix `fundrawtransaction` tests and sanitize fee calculation at the same time
* Correct resolution of chain parameters when validating tx inputs, especially from previous coinbase transactions
* Set block versions on full block tests so that the generated blocks are AuxPoW compatible
* Minimum number of blocks and blockchain size are increased for pruning. In comparison to Bitcoin this uses 24 hours as a minimum, rather than 48, although given blocks are rarely full this likely reflects a lot longer in reality.
* Multiply fork detection parameters by 5. The wall clock time elapsed for "long" forks is therefore half that of Bitcoin, but IMHO those figures are excessive for a chain with 1 minute block times.
* BIP16 and BIP30 have both been enabled on Dogecoin since inception and should not be conditional.
* Modify chain consensus parameters to be height aware
* Correct implementation of simplified rewards in parameters
* Correct max money
* Use base block version in IsSuperMajority() instead of full version
* Correct mining of blocks in AuxPoW tests
* Add in missing pre-AuxPoW consensus checks
Changes are as below:
Wrap CBlockHeader::nVersion into a new class (CBlockVersion). This allows to take care of interpreting the field into a base version, auxpow flag and the chain ID.
Update getauxblock.py for new 'generate' RPC call.
Add 'auxpow' to block JSON.
Accept auxpow as PoW verification.
Add unit tests for auxpow verification.
Add check for memory-layout of CBlockVersion.
Weaken auxpow chain ID checks for the testnet.
Allow Params() to overrule when to check the auxpow chain ID and for legacy blocks. Use this to disable the checks on testnet.
Introduce CPureBlockHeader.
Split the block header part that is used by auxpow and the "real" block header (that uses auxpow) to resolve the cyclic dependency between the two.
Differentiate between uint256 and arith_uint256.
This change was done upstream, modify the auxpow code.
Add missing lock in auxpow_tests.
Fix REST header check for auxpow headers.
Those can be longer, thus take that into account. Also perform the check actually on an auxpow header.
Correctly set the coinbase for getauxblock results.
Call IncrementExtraNonce in getauxblock so that the coinbase is actually initialised with the stuff it should be. (BIP30 block height and COINBASE_FLAGS.)
Implement getauxblock plus regression test.
Turn auxpow test into FIXTURE test.
This allows using of the Params() calls.
Move CMerkleTx code to auxpow.cpp.
Otherwise we get linker errors when building without wallet.
Fix rebase with BIP66.
Update the code to handle BIP66's nVersion=3.
Enforce that auxpow parent blocks have no auxpow block version.
This is for compatibility with namecoind. See also https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin/pull/199.
Move auxpow-related parameters to Consensus::Params.

This disentangles the script validation skipping from checkpoints.
A new option is introduced "assumevalid" which specifies a block whos
ancestors we assume all have valid scriptsigs and so we do not check
them when they are also burried under the best header by two weeks
worth of work.
Unlike checkpoints this has no influence on consensus unless you set
it to a block with an invalid history. Because of this it can be
easily be updated without risk of influencing the network consensus.
This results in a massive IBD speedup.
This approach was independently recommended by Peter Todd and Luke-Jr
since POW based signature skipping (see PR#9180) does not have the
verifiable properties of a specific hash and may create bad incentives.
The downside is that, like checkpoints, the defaults bitrot and older
releases will sync slower. On the plus side users can provide their
own value here, and if they set it to something crazy all that will
happen is more time will be spend validating signatures.
Checkblocks and checklevel are also moved to the hidden debug options:
Especially now that checkblocks has a low default there is little need
to change these settings, and users frequently misunderstand them as
influencing security or IBD speed. By hiding them we offset the
space added by this new option.
