This commit corrects the number of expected inputs for a multi-sig script
to include the additional item that is popped from the stack due to the
OP_CHECKMULTISIG consensus bug (which is required and properly performed).
Note this issue did NOT affect the consensus critical code and hence would
not cause a chain fork. It did however, cause standard p2sh multisig txns
to be rejected from the mempool as nonstandard.
The tx rejected as non-standard which prompted this was spotted by
@mbelshe on IRC.

This commit removes the word "only" from the non-standard transaction
error message when the number of items on the stack does not match the
number of expected items.
This was suggested by @mbelshe.
This commit updates the install command under the Installation section in
README.md to include all subdirectories thereby including the utilities
such as addblock and btcctl.
This commit makes a slight variant of the existing calcPastMedianTime
function available to external callers. The new exported version
calculates the past median time from the end of the current main chain
versus an arbitrary block node.
Found by tests dhill is working on. We checked that ifs were closed at the end
of execution but not at script switching time, we now move this to just after
finishing a single script.
Rather than having a separate query channel for the block manager, use the
same channel so the block handler acts as a pure FIFO queue. This
prevents possible starvation of query related messages.
ok @owainga
This commit makes a slight variant of the existing checkConnectBlock
function available to external callers. The new exported version checks
if the passed block will connect to the end of the current main chain.
In order to support this, a few other small modifications have been made
to the initial index generation and the existing checkConnectBlock since
it previously made some assumptions about the state of genesis block which
can no longer be assumed due accepting blocks from callers directly.
Also, add a quick test to ensure the new function fails when checking if
the genesis block will connect again when it's already inserted.
This change modifies the RPC server's notifiation manager from a
struct with requests, protected by a mutux, to two goroutines. The
first maintains a queue of all notifications and control requests
(registering/unregistering notifications), while the second reads from
the queue and processes notifications and requests one at a time.
Previously, to prevent slowing down block and mempool processing, each
notification would be handled by spawning a new goroutine. This lead
to cases where notifications would end up being sent to clients in a
different order than they were created. Adding a queue keeps the
order of notifications originating from the same goroutine, while also
not slowing down processing while waiting for notifications to be
processed and sent.
ok @davecgh
This mirrors a recent change in the reference implementation. Since the
vast majority of the network still uses it and transactions which aren't
considered standard won't be relayed, the rules for standard transactions
need to be kept consistent.
Ideally this should be handled via floating fees, but we're rather limited
until we have miner support and a larger network share so the probability
of a transaction being relayed and confirmed is high.
Closes#100.

This commit exports the VarIntSerializeSize function to provide callers
with an easy method to determine how many bytes it would take to serialize
the passed value as a variable length integer.
This commit exports a new variant of the existing internal
calcNextRequiredDifficulty function which calculates and returns the next
required difficulty for a block after the end of the current best chain
based on the difficulty retarget rules.
In order to support the exported function the internal one was slightly
modified to accept the block timestamp instead of an entire block since
the timestamp is all that is needed and the caller of the exported
function might next have a full block yet.
