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 RPC / HTTP servers were logging about being shutdown even if
they never were started in the first place. This confused people.
Also removed some empty methods.
This is an overload of message() specifically meant to build
replies to incoming messages.
The behaviour changed here is that incoming messages with
headers other than "RequestId" now get copied to the outgoing
message by default.
Now multiple different targets use this database, the messages
were confusing. Next to that "pruning" is not really correct
and it lead to confusing. More correct is the term GC.
In the rare case when we already created a new DB file, but never
managed to write a .info file, the constructor would end up rejecting
the whole DB.
This just drops off the last useless file and goes from there.
* user selected nodes (using -connect=) are whitelisted, which allows
them to get your headers even if you are still in initial download.
* Avoid crash in a starting node in isInInitialDownload when
pIndexBestHeader was still null.
The rule that transactions need to be at least 100bytes was honoured for
normal mining already.
Now unit tests and txVulcano which call RPC 'generate' will also comply.
This also includes a little blockchain of 114 blocks (the first 100 just
coinbase to reach coin-maturity) with transactions generated by the
txVulcano. So lots of outputs.
I adjusted the BlackBoxTest to load this data into any hub with ease.
The old algorithm could end up doubling the size every time it
ran out, which eventually consumes all memory.
This way we reset to the user-default size when useful and increase
only based on need.
This means that the programmer needs to make a better estimation on
maximum size of messages, but it avoids behavior similar to memory
leaks.
Double check our message-calculation is proper by checking the result.
Notice that asserts and logDebug both are turned off in release builds,
so this is just added to debug builds.
Fix a bug that could make the wait between saves too long and now aim to
make the saving more often because this helps us determine in time that
the file is full so we don't go over the end.
where the UTXO allows you to find an output based on txid+output, the
spentoutput DB turns that around and allows you to find an input that
spends a certain output.
This also fits perfectly find into the UTXO database class, so this
creates a new dir "spent" which is filled as expected.
This C++ library is a small framework which creates a full
http(s) server.
This is imported code from the qhttpengine open source project.
I modified some core components in order to make this framework
multi-threading and changed some APIs for cleanlyness. As such
it is not source compatible and getting it accepted upstream is
not realistic.
