as the expected behavior of 'get*' is a const method, it is harmful to
name a method such when it actually alters the state of the method such
that subsequent calls will produce a different result.
This does remove the feature that mining can use the internal wallet as
a source of coinbase addresses, but since Flowee doesn't actually ship a
wallet, that was just not a good reason to keep an unused class in the
libs.
The CAmount name is not helpful as its just an int64_t and not a
class, like the name implies. There were a handful of places where
it was passed in as const-ref, as a good example of this actually
creating sub-par code.
Move the MutableTransactionSignatureChecker class out of the header and
thereby remove the need to include transaction.h in the header.
This checker was never used in any app, just in the unit tests.
This also fixes includes around.
The API changes in boost between 1.66 and later was the need
for the boost_compat.h header file.
Its been a long time since Flowee started demanding 1.67 minimum
for boost, making this compat obsolete.
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.
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.
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/
Get rid of the weird boost signals setup
Move it to a new library 'interfaces' which is
for stuff that has no dependencies and can avoid
creating inter-library or cicular dependencies.
