This means that for apps like 'pos' no longer link against libSSL
The streams no longer zero-after-free, there are no secrets transported
in datastreams so this is useless and avoids linking in one OpenSSL
call.
The insecure_rand() method depended on the openssl code to seed it with
randomness. Now replaced with a proven current-time-milliseconds.
This is enough in those cases because it was always meant to be an
insecure random.
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.
The block-box tests have long ago lost their usefullness
and have all been replaced by c++ ones.
The big-box testing was always frowned upon, but it kinda worked
for the original Core codebase which was practically speaking 100%
single-threaded.
Flowee the Hub breaks lots of questionable assumptions.
For instance the assumption that sending a transaction to a node
via the p2p layer and then immediately sending a request over RPC for
the mempool will find that tx there.
Flowee uses an async p2p layer, and therefore that old assumption no
longer holds.
Also, its python. Which is painful to read.
In the address monitor service this detects specifically if a double
spend detected by the Hub is applicable for our subscriber, and if it is
then a Message will be sent to the subscriber.
This introduces a new message type DoubleSpendFound
and changes the API for the TransactionFound message while dropping the
TransactionRejected message.
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.
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.
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.
This adds all the header ints to chunked messages, solving the problem
of losing RequestId on roundtrips if the answer was too big.
Added a unit test for this "new" features.
This makes callbacks all use shared_from_this() in order to avoid
callbacks being done on deleted instances (thanks boost!).
Last, special case when the user doesn't connect but just sends messages
which caused a send of data, only to realize the connection wasn't open,
and then a connect.
This makes sure we immediately start a connect on queue of a message.
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.
When a blackbox test fails add the logs from the nodes
into the output of the log itself so they are all in one
place.
Especially handy for CI or docker usage where getting files
is a lot harder than getting standard-out.
The test assumed at least 2 cores, if you go below that (as the CI
dockers did) then we need to be aware of race-conditions when checking
on the status of the validation.
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.
Instead of merging a small list into a bigger and bigger list,
write lots of small lists (20MB each or so) and then when we hit
the wanted final size, merge all of those into one.
