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.

This commit resolves an issue where it was possible the block manager
could hang on shutdown due to inventory rebroadcasting. In particular, it
adds checks to prevent modification of the of rebroadcast inventory during
shutdown and adds a drain on the channel to ensure any outstanding
messages are discarded.

This commit, along with recent commits to btcnet and btcwire, expose a new
network that is intended to provide a private network useful for
simulation testing. To that end, it has the special property that it has
no DNS seeds and will actively ignore all addr and getaddr messages. It
will also not try to connect to any nodes other than those specified via
--connect. This allows the network to remain private to the specific
nodes involved in the testing and not simply become another public
testnet.
The network difficulty is also set extremely low like the regression test
network so blocks can be created extremely quickly without requiring a lot
of hashing power.
This change modifies the params struct to embed a *btcnet.Params,
removing the old parameter fields that are handled by the btcnet
package.
Hardcoded network checks have also been removed in favor of modifying
behavior based on the current active net's parameters.
Not all library packages, notable btcutil and btcchain, have been
updated to use btcnet yet, but with this change, each package can be
updated one at a time since the active net's btcnet.Params are
available at each callsite.

In practise the races caused by not protecting these quite simply didn't
matter, they couldn't actually cause any damage whatsoever. However, I
am sick of hearing about these essentially false positivies whenever
someone runs the race detector (yes, i know that race detector has no
false positives but this was effectively harmess).
verified to shut the detector up by dhill.
This commit cleans up and moves a couple of comments in the recent pull
request which implements a rebroadcast handler (#114) in order to avoid
discussing internal state in the exported function comment.
How a function actually accomplishes the stated functionality is not
something that a caller is concerned with. The details about the internal
state are better handled with comments inside the function body.
This commit implements a rebroadcast handler which deals with
rebroadcasting inventory at a random time interval between 0 and 30
minutes. It then uses the new rebroadcast logic to ensure transactions
which were submitted via the sendrawtransaction RPC are rebroadcast until
they make it into a block.
Closes#99.
Rather than using a type specifically in btcd for the getpeerinfo, this
commit, along with a recent commit to btcjson, changes the code over to
use the type from btcjson. This is more consistent with other RPC results
and provides a few extra benefits such as the ability for btcjson to
automatically unmarshal the results into a concrete type with proper field
types as opposed to a generic interface.
Recent commits to the reference implementation have changed the syncnode
field to be present in the getpeerinfo RPC even when it is false. This
commit changes btcd to match.
This commit changes the server byte counters over to use a mutex instead
of the atomic package. The atomic.AddUint64 function requires the struct
fields to be 64-bit aligned on 32-bit platforms. The byte counts are
fields in the server struct and are not 64-bit aligned. While it would be
possible to arrange the fields to be aligned through various means, it
would make the code too fragile for my tastes. I prefer code that doesn't
depend on platform specific alignment.
Fixes#96.
Previously the getnettotals was just looping through all of the currently
connected peers to sum the byte counts and returning that. However, the
intention of the getnettotals RPC is to get all bytes since the server was
started, so this logic was not correct.
This commit modifies the code to keep an atomic counter on the server for
bytes read/written and has each peer update the server counters as well as
the per-peer counters.
This commit adds byte counters to each peer using the new btcwire
ReadMessageN and WriteMessageN functions to obtain the number of bytes
read and written, respectively. It also returns those byte counters via
the PeerInfo struct which is used to populate the RPC getpeerinfo reply.
Closes#83.
Rather than having the iterator functions a separate entities that access
the state to iterate, just expose the iterators as receivers on the state
itself. This is more consistent with the style used throughout the code
and the other receivers on the state such as Count, OutboundCount, etc.
This commit adds full support for the getaddednodeinfo RPC command
including DNS lookups which abide by proxy/onion/tor rules when the DNS
flag is specified. Note that it returns an array of strings when the DNS
flag is not set which is different than the current version of bitcoind
which is bugged and scheduled to be fixed per issue 3581 on the bitcoind
issue tracker.
This implements --onion (and --onionuser/--onionpass) that enable a
different proxy to be used to connect to .onion addresses. If no main
proxy is supplied then no proxy will be used for non-onion addresses.
Additionally we add --noonion that blocks connection attempts to .onion
addresses entirely (and avoids using tor for proxy dns lookups).
the --tor option has been supersceded and thus removed.
Closes#47
The fields of the PeerInfo should not have been marked omit as the only
ones that should be omitted to for compatibility are the SyncNode and
BanScore fields.
In order to match the Satohsi client, the return is supposed to be an
8-digit string representation of the services instead of the actual
services numeric value.
since we don't wait for peers, this largely just waits for the server procs
themselves to die. Unless the entire server is wedged (which is what kill -9 is
for) this should always shut down fairly swiftly.
This should mean we sync addrmanager and disestablish upnp correctly on
interrupt.
Discussed with davec.
This code borrows and fixes up a chunk of code to handle upnp from
Taipei-Torrent (https://github.com/jackpal/Taipei-Torrent), under
current versions of go none of the xml parsing was working correctly.
This fixes that and also refactors the SOAP code to be a little nicer by
stripping off the soap containers. It is still rather rough but seems to
correctly redirect ports and advertise the correct address.
Upnp is not run by default. --upnp will enable it, but it will still not
run if we are not listening or if --externalip is in use.
Closes#51
This implements only the bare bones of external ip address selection
using very similar algorithms and selection methods to bitcoind. Every
address we bind to, and if we bind to the wildcard, every listening
address is recorded, and one for the appropriate address type of the
peer is selected.
Support for fetching addresses via upnp, external services, or via the
command line are not yet implemented.
Closes#35
Also, make every subsystem within btcd use its own logger instance so each
subsystem can have its own level specified independent of the others.
This is work towards #48.
This allows the provision of address/port pairs to be listened on instead
of just providing the port. e.g.:
btcd --listen 1.2.3.4:4321 --listen 127.0.0.01 --listen [::1]:5432
When --proxy and --connect are used, we disable listening *unless* any --listen
arguments have been provided, when we will listen on those addresses as
requested.
Initial code by davec, integration by myself.
Closes#33
allow listens to fail, but warn. error if all failed
fmt
persistentpeers and outbound(nonpersistent) peers get their own lists,
so iterating over them can be much simpler (and quicker when you have
125 peer of which 8 are outbound).
