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, 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.

This commit adds a new configuration option, --rpcmaxclients, to limit the
number of max standard RPC clients that are served concurrently. Note
that this value does not apply to websocket connections. A future commit
will add support for limiting those separately.
Closes#68.
This commit adds a new option, --logdir, which works in the same fashion
as the --datadir option. Consequently, the logging directory is name
"namespaced" by the network as well. This resolves the issue where two
btcd instances running (one for mainnet and one for testnet) would
overwrite each other's log files by default.
It also provides the user with a method to change the logging location to
non-default locations if they prefer. For example, it enables multiple
btcd instances on the same network to specify unique logging directories
(even though running multiple btcd instances on the same network is not
the most sane configuration).
Closes#95.
This commit adds the btcdb memdb backend as a supported database type.
Note that users will NOT want to run in this mode because, being memory
only, it obviously does not persist the database when shutdown.
It is being added for testing purposes to help prevent constant abuse to
developer's hard drive when churning the block database multiple times a
day.
The warning about a missing config file should only be shown after all
other configuration has succeeded so it's not shown when there are invalid
options specified. Also add a comment about it where its intended
placement is for the future.
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
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 commit modifies btcd to run cleanly as a Windows service. btcd is
intended to be a long running process that stays synchronized with the
bitcoin block chain and provides chain services to multiple users. It
follows that a service is the best option on Windows for this
functionality.
A few key points are:
- Supports graceful shutdown via the service stop/shutdown commands
- Integrates cleanly with the Windows event log
- Adds a new /s flag that can be used to install/remove/start/stop the
service
One outstanding issue is that the application data directory is currently
user specific which means, by default, if you start btcd as a user, the
same data won't be used as when it's running as a service. This needs to
be resovled. The most likely approach will be to put all data into the
common appdata directory Windows provides, but it will require some
additional work to deal with permissions properly as user processes can't
write there by default.
Closes#42.
This commit modifies the logging to also log all output to a rolling log
file in the btcd home directory under the logs folder. It uses a maximum
size of 10MB per log file and a max rotation size of 3. This means the
log files will not exceed 30 megabytes.
The code was previously only changing the logging level if it wasn't the
default which is accurate for setting the log level once at startup time,
but it needs to set it unconditionally to allow dynamic updates.
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.
- Remove periods from --rpccert/--rpckey since none of the other options use
them
- Make it a little more clear that the --listen and --rpclisten options can be
used multiple times by changing the summary to start with "Add an ..."
which also matches the --addpeer style
All rpc sockets now listen using TLS by default, and this can not be
turned off. The keys (defauling to the datadirectory) may be provided by
--rpccert and --rpckey. If the keys do not exist we will generate a new
self-signed keypair with some sane defaults (hostname and all current
interface addresses).
Additionally add tls capability to btcctl so that it can still be used.
The certificate to use for verify can be provided on the commandline or
verification can be turned off (this leaves you susceptible to MITM
attacks)
Initial code from dhill (rpc tls support) and jrick (key generation),
cleanup, debugging and polishing from me.
The regression test mode is special and therefore most likely will not
want to use the same settings that are in the configuration file. The -C
option can still be used to specify a config file in regression test mode
if desired.
This commit makes use of the new default-mask go-flags option in
conjunction with delaying the usage display until after the config file is
parsed. This has a couple of nice properties such as showing the actual
values that will be used as loaded from the specific config file instead
of the defaults specified in btcd itself, and also allows any config file
parsing errors to be shown prior to displaying the usage.
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

This commit makes use of the new btcutil.AppDataDir function which chooses
appropriate data directories for each supported operating system. It also
adds code to the upgrade path to properly migrate existing data from the
old to new locations.
This is part of work toward issue #30.
This commit provides a new --cpuprofile flag that can be used to specify a
file path to write CPU profile data into. The resulting profile can then be
consumed by the 'go tool pprof' command.
