This commit modifies the getblocktemplate RPC to correctly handle the
curtime field.
Currently, the RPC server will refuse to serve a block template if the
current time is before the minimum allowed time for a block even though
the real generated block template already accounted for it.
This consists of three changes:
- Remove the unnecessary and incorrect check in the RPC invocation for the
current time against the min required time since it is already handled
properly by the block template generation.
- Expose the network time source to the RPC work state and use the
adjusted time for checking against the maximum allowed time instead of
the current time.
- Set the returned RPC result curtime field to the time of the generated
block header.
Fixes#209.
This commit modifies the creation of RPC results to ignore errors in
script disassembly since they already contain the error string inline and
the RPC results must still be generated regardless.
This was already done in the decodescript RPC, however the same thing was
not being done in the higher level verbose transaction results. This
applies to both the createrawtransaction and decoderawtransaction RPCs.
Also, since this was the only thing that could error within those
functions, the error returns and caller checking of now non-existent
errors have been removed.
Fixes#210.
The hash is not displayed big endian, but rather as a byte-reversed
hash as a hexidecimal string, so document it as such.
While here, speed up the function. Some benchmarks:
BenchmarkShaHashString 2000000 996 ns/op
BenchmarkShaHashStringOld 100000 22701 ns/op
This commit introduces a new flag, --notls, which can be used to disable
TLS for the RPC server. However, the flag can only be used when the RPC
server is bound to localhost interfaces. This is intended to prevent the
situation where someone decides they want to expose the RPC server to the
web for remote management/access, but forgot they have TLS disabled.
This commit corrects the error check from the createTxRawResult call in
handleGetRawTransaction. It was previously given a different name which
resulted in the wrong error being checked.
Fixes#196.
This commit improves a couple of issues surrounding the creation of the
btcd home directory.
First, the code was previously attempting to log any errors that occurred
while creating the directory using the logging system which is not
initialized at that point. Thus, nothing was displayed to the user.
Second, if any component of btcd home directory path already exists, but
is not a directory, such as in the case of symlinks, the error returned
from the os.MkDirAll call indicates the directory can't be created. While
this is true, it's not always the most helpful error to display to the
user. So, this commit adds logic to detect when the failure case is due
to an existing symlink and displays a nicer error message suggesting the
user check if the destination of the link is mounted.
Fixes#193.
This prevents a downgrade attack to the vulnerable SSLv3. While here,
go ahead and require at least TLS 1.2 since TLS 1.0 and 1.1 have their
own set of issues and it's only a matter of time before those would
need to be completely avoided as well.

Our policy is to only ensure the code compiles for the latest Go release
minus one version. Since Go 1.4 has now been released, this commit
updates TravisCI to remove Go 1.2 from the build matrix and add Go 1.3.
Also, go vet changed locations in between Go 1.3 and Go 1.4, so a check
has been added to download the appropriate version based on which version
of Go is running the integration tests.
Finally, the previous removed Go tip entry in the build matrix has been
reintroduced since it will now work again.
Now that Go 1.4 has been released, this commit reverts the recent changes
which dealt with allowing TravisCI to work with go tip in between the Go
1.3 and Go 1.4 release cycle and updates the .travis.yml to invoke test
coverage tool from the new path in Go 1.4.
As pointed out in #189, according to the Go documentation, a ticker must
be stopped to release associated resources. This commit adds a defer call
to stop two tickers there were previously not being stopped as well as
changes two others that were being stopped over to use defer so it's more
consistent.
The other ticker in ScheduleShutdown is replaced and already calls Stop
before replacing it, so it has not been modified.
Closes#189.

This commit addresses a few nitpicks in the recent getrawmppol update
which populates the starting and current priority fields.
In particular:
- Move the new calcInputValueAge function before the function which
invokes it so it is consistent with the rest of the mempool code
- Double space after periods for consistency
- Correct the comments for calcInputValueAge to indiciate that inputs
which are in the the memory pool count as zero toward the value age
rather than the incorrect claim that that the overal input value age is
zero when one of them does
- Rename endingPriority to currentPriority to match the RPC field and its
actual function
- Make the comment about using zero when input transactions can't be found
for some reason more accurate since there can be (and frequently is)
more than one input transaction
This commit modifies the .travis.yml to invoke a new script which has also
been added that gets the test coverage tool from the new path needed by go
tip.
This commit modifies the RandomUint64 function so that rather than
returning an io.ErrShortBuffer when the system does not have enough
entropy available, it now blocks until it does have enough. This means
that RandomUint64 will now always eventually succeed unless the entropy
source is closed (which only really ever happens when the operating system
is shutting down).
The tests have also been updated for the change in semantics to maintain
100% coverage.
Closes#23.
