Move some files back to the server "library".
Merge the 'console' lib with server, as it doesn't really make sense with
just one file and nobody exclusively linking to it.
The server "libary" is not really a library, its the place we put all
the files shared by hub-qt hub-cli and hub.
We no longer depend on these files from other places (mostly due to
moving to the new logging framework) and as such we can move the files
back.
We used various ways to enable new features over the last 10 years.
We can remove that legacy code and just set the blockheight.
This cleans up the code quite a bit.
Move some globals and all stuff pulling in crypto to the
server/serverutil.cpp file
Remove dead code.
Move several items that were used in only one place to the respective
files using them.
Move the class WaitUntilFinishedHelper into its own file.
Made sure no header includes utils.h
remove a handfull of files including utils.h for nothing.
This removes the attempt at magic (predicting future) component
called the fee-estimator.
The direct effect is that all transactions have as a mempool acceptance
the same minimum fee. Regardless of how full the mempool or blocks were.
This mempool-acceptance minimum fee is 0 sat/byte. (aka free)
Notice the node-wide free-tx accept-limiter is going to avoid us getting
overloaded.
The "UAHF" one used to be "more equal", mostly just because it happened
to be the first.
This makes them all equally equal.
Specifically this removes the special casing and the enum for the 201708
HF (aka BCH fork-point).
We select the right branch now purely based on the historical check-
points.
Remove txIndex option, its move to Flowee Indexer
Also remove the GUI option for setting the amount
of "script validator threads". :D
Remove DBCash command line option too, equally obsolete.
Also write some new accessor methods on the baseclass.
The longer term idea is to make the server itself only use the uint160
raw version for bitcoin addresses.
For now move the encodings (between that uint160 and human-readable) to
the utils library.
as the number of applications grows it makes more sense to separate
the 'server' library from the actually reusable libraries.
To recap, the 'server' library is what we started with when importing
all the code from the hub. Slowly we are moving good code out that
is stand-alone and reusable.
The 'server' library has always been a catch-all and
ideally only the hub links it in (far future goal).
In line with this I move a list of files out of server
into the utils lib.
I choose 'utils' because all these are plain old data
objects that many crypto apps will find useful.
now in utils/primitives/
* CScript
* CPubKey
* CTransaction
* CBlock
* FastTransaction
* FastBlock
* CScript
streams.h is now in utils/streaming/
hash.h is now in utils/
During the BCH fork-off time we allowed the client to be started
as either BCH or BTC and as such there are several code-paths
that behave different based on this user setting.
We remove those as we no longer allow starting as BTC client.
This also removes the check for the min-block-size (rollback protection)
as this is accomplished by the checkpoints on the BCH chain.
As boost testlib is extremely IDE unfriendly, as well as human
unfriendly with lots of macros for basic C++ functions (like methods!!)
this is better for me.
But the real reason is that its just unstable. I get double deletes
on some releases of boost and I'm missing plain features that all
other test frameworks have.
For instance a QCOMPARE shows what is expected vs what we got. Boost
just fails.
In QTestLib I can mark a test as "expect fail" an idea that boost
tried and failed (can easily create false positives).
This change makes the limits be static variables, which means they are
only settable once for a process. The only usecase so far is to use much
smaller limits in testing situations.
On all mature operating systems and filesystems creation of a 1GB file
will not actually use that data, only when we start using blocks does
the disk space get used.
As such this is a premature optimization that Core added and I ported to
Flowee which this commit removes.
Additionally, increase the block file size to 1GiB
Duplicate the test_bitcoin file into the common dir,
I hope to remove the original in future.
Make the common dir a new static lib and create a new
qtestlib based unit test out of the old doublespend unit test.
