This commit implements the long polling portion of the getblocktemplate
RPC as defined by BIP0022. Per the specification, each block template is
returned with a longpollid which can be used in a subsequent
getblocktemplate request to keep the connection open until the server
determines the block template associated with the longpollid should be
replaced with a new one.
This is work towards #124.
This commit implements the non-optional and template tweaking support for
the getblocktemplate RPC as defined by BIP0022. This implementation does
not yet include long polling support.
This is work towards #124.
This commit implements full support for filtering based on the filterload,
filteradd, filterclear, and merkleblock messages introduced by BIP0037.
This allows btcd to work seamlessly with SPV wallets such as BitcoinJ.
Original code by @dajohi. Cleanup, bug fixes, and polish by @davecgh.
This commit has no effect on the effective functionality since Go
automatically deferences pointers, but there is no reason to have a
double indirection when returning the reply for getmininginfo.
These changes are a joint effort between myself and @dajohi.

This commit does just enough to move the address manager into its own
package. Since it was not originally written as a package, it will
require a bit of refactoring and cleanup to turn it into a robust
package with a friendly API.
By putting each DNS seed in its own go routine, btcd can start connecting
to nodes as they are found instead of waiting for all seeds to respond. This
significantly speeds up startup time.
Additionally, logging was added to show how many addresses were fetched from
each seed.
BitcoinJ, and possibly other wallets, don't follow the spec of sending an
inventory message and allowing the remote peer to decide whether or not
they want to request the transaction via a getdata message. Unfortuantely
the reference implementation permits unrequested data, so it has allowed
wallets that don't follow the spec to proliferate.
While this is not ideal, this commit removes the functionality which
disconnects peers for sending unsolicited transactions to provide
interoperability.
This commit corrects an issue where the data requested by getdata was not
being properly throttled which could lead to higher than desired memory
usage on large requests.
This commits removes a number of golint warnings. There is a class of
warnings which I can't fix due to unsufficient knowledge of the domain
at this point. These are listed here:

The hex package requires an even number of characters in hex encoded
strings. Some of the handlers already prepended a zero if necessary to
make this condition true, however other did not. This commit extends this
functionality to all handlers and also makes the error return consistent.

There are certain cases such as getblocktemplate which allow external
callers to be repsonsible for creating their own coinbase to replace the
generated one. By allowing the pay address to be nil in such cases, the
need to specify mining addresses via --miningaddr can be avoided thereby
leaving the payment address management up to the caller.
This commit modifies the RPC server such that all handlers now receive a
channel which will be notified when a client disconnects. This
notification can then be used to stop long-running operations early when a
client disconnects.
This capability was already present for websocket clients, but this commit
exposes it to standard HTTP clients as well.
Now that the ProcessBlock function returns whether or not the block was an
orphan, the code which requests the parent blocks from the peer that sent
them has been moved to directly after the call to it.
This makes the handling more obvious and has allowed removal of the
blockPeer map which was kept so the notification handler could identify
which peer to request the blocks from.
ok @jrick
Now that btcd support CPU mining, update the getgenerate, setgenerate,
gethashespersec, and getmininginfo RPC handlers to return the appropriate
information.
Also, remove the various extra help addenda about btcd not supporting
mining since it is no longer true.
This commit implements a built-in concurrent CPU miner that can be enabled
with the combination of the --generate and --miningaddr options. The
--blockminsize, --blockmaxsize, and --blockprioritysize configuration
options wich already existed prior to this commit control the block
template generation and hence affect blocks mined via the new CPU miner.
The following is a quick overview of the changes and design:
- Starting btcd with --generate and no addresses specified via
--miningaddr will give an error and exit immediately
- Makes use of multiple worker goroutines which independently create block
templates, solve them, and submit the solved blocks
- The default number of worker threads are based on the number of
processor cores in the system and can be dynamically changed at
run-time
- There is a separate speed monitor goroutine used to collate periodic
updates from the workers to calculate overall hashing speed
- The current mining state, number of workers, and hashes per second can
be queried
- Updated sample-btcd.conf file has been updated to include the coin
generation (mining) settings
- Updated doc.go for the new command line options
In addition the old --getworkkey option is now deprecated in favor of the
new --miningaddr option. This was changed for a few reasons:
- There is no reason to have a separate list of keys for getwork and CPU
mining
- getwork is deprecated and will be going away in the future so that means
the --getworkkey flag will also be going away
- Having the work 'key' in the option can be confused with wanting a
private key while --miningaddr make it a little more clear it is an
address that is required
Closes#137.
