libsecp256k1's API changed, so update key.cpp to use it.
Libsecp256k1 now has explicit context objects, which makes it completely thread-safe.
In turn, keep an explicit context object in key.cpp, which is explicitly initialized
destroyed. This is not really pretty now, but it's more efficient than the static
initialized object in key.cpp (which made for example bitcoin-tx slow, as for most of
its calls, libsecp256k1 wasn't actually needed).
This also brings in the new blinding support in libsecp256k1. By passing in a random
seed, temporary variables during the elliptic curve computations are altered, in such
a way that if an attacker does not know the blind, observing the internal operations
leaks less information about the keys used. This was implemented by Greg Maxwell.
Help messages are formatted programmatically with FormatParagraph
in order not to break existing strings in Transifex.
The new format works even if the translation of the strings
modifies the lenght of the message.

Help messages are formatted programmatically with FormatParagraph

The new format should work even if the translation of the strings
modifies the lenght of the message.
Fix - syntax error
Correct formatting for 79 chars
Correctly based on C++ functions
Removed spare spaces from option strings

If uint256() constructor takes a string, uint256(0) will become
dangerous when uint256 does not take integers anymore (it will go
through std::string(const char*) making a NULL string, and the explicit
keyword is no help).
7c70438 Get rid of the dummy CCoinsViewCache constructor arg (Pieter Wuille)
ed27e53 Add coins_tests with a large randomized CCoinViewCache test. (Pieter Wuille)
058b08c Do not keep fully spent but unwritten CCoins entries cached. (Pieter Wuille)
c9d1a81 Get rid of CCoinsView's SetCoins and SetBestBlock. (Pieter Wuille)
f28aec0 Use ModifyCoins instead of mutable GetCoins. (Pieter Wuille)
Replace the mutable non-copying GetCoins method with a ModifyCoins, which
returns an encapsulated iterator, so we can keep track of concurrent
modifications (as iterators can be invalidated by those) and run cleanup
code after a modification is finished.
This also removes the overloading of the 'GetCoins' name.
The efficient version of CCoinsViewCache::GetCoins only works for known-to-exist
cache entries, requiring a separate HaveCoins call beforehand. This is
inefficient as both perform a hashtable lookup.
Replace the non-mutable GetCoins with AccessCoins, which returns a potentially-NULL
pointer. This also decreases the overloading of GetCoins.
Also replace some copying (inefficient) GetCoins calls with equivalent AccessCoins,
decreasing the copying.
- ensures a consistent usage in header files
- also add a blank line after the copyright header where missing
- also remove orphan new-lines at the end of some files
Split up util.cpp/h into:
- string utilities (hex, base32, base64): no internal dependencies, no dependency on boost (apart from foreach)
- money utilities (parsesmoney, formatmoney)
- time utilities (gettime*, sleep, format date):
- and the rest (logging, argument parsing, config file parsing)
The latter is basically the environment and OS handling,
and is stripped of all utility functions, so we may want to
rename it to something else than util.cpp/h for clarity (Matt suggested
osinterface).
Breaks dependency of sha256.cpp on all the things pulled in by util.
This is a simple utility that provides command line manipulation of
a hex-encoded TX. The utility takes a hex string on the command line
as input, performs zero or more mutations, and outputs a hex string
to standard output.
This utility is also an intentional exercise of the "bitcoin library"
concept. It is designed to require minimal libraries, and works
entirely without need for any RPC or P2P communication.
See "bitcoin-tx --help" for command and options summary.
