Merge #11909: contrib: Replace developer keys with list of pgp fingerprints
fabb72b contrib: Remove xpired 522739F6 key (MarcoFalke)
faeab66 contrib: Replace developer keys with list of pgp fingerprints (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  Having to host a copy of the keys in this repo was a common source of discussion and distraction, caused by problems such as:

  * Outdated keys. Unclear whether and when to replace by fresh copies.
  * Unclear when to add a key of a new developer or Gitian builder.

  The problems are solved by
  * Having no keys but only the fingerprints
  * Adding a rule of thumb, when to add a new key

  <strike>Moving the keys to a different repo solves none of these issues, but since the keys are not bound to releases or git branches of Bitcoin Core, they should live somewhere else.

  Obviously, all keys are hosted and distributed on key servers, but were added to the repo solely for convenience and redundancy.

  Moving the mirror of those keys to a different repo makes it less distracting to update them -- let's say -- prior to every major release.

  I updated our `doc/release-process.md` to reflect the new location.

  DEPENDS_ON https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gitian.sigs/pull/621

Merge #12322: Docs: Remove step making cloned repository world-writable for Windows build.
eeeb416 Remove suggestion to make cloned repository world-writable for Windows build. (murrayn)

Pull request description:

  Current documentation for Windows build on Ubuntu suggests cloning the repository into /usr/src, as root, and making the tree world-writable(!). I can see no problem this solves, and it introduces obvious security issues.

ec527c6c88 Don't allow relative -walletdir paths
Also warn if bitcoind is configured to use a relative -datadir path.

Specifying paths relative to the current working directory in a daemon process
can be dangerous, because files can fail to be located even if the
configuration doesn't change, but the daemon is started up differently.

Specifying a relative -datadir now adds a warning to the debug log. It would
not be backwards-compatible to forbid relative -datadir paths entirely, and it
could also be also inconvenient for command line testing.

Specifying a relative -walletdir now results in a startup error. But since the
-walletdir option is new in 0.16.0, there should be no compatibility issues.
Another reason not to use working directory paths for -walletdir specifically
is that the default -walletdir is a "wallets" subdirectory inside the datadir,
so it could be surprising that setting -walletdir manually would choose a
directory rooted in a completely different location.

Pull request description:

  (this continues #11442)
  There is no more need to install a new compiler. This simplifies instructions a lot.

  From discussion with @fanquake on IRC I first wanted to add a new section for 6.2, but that made the document a complex mess. I think it's good enough (and more maintainable too) to only support the most recent release.

  Includes #11976.

  I moved the "resource limits" section to the end as I didn't seem to need it with clang, but this may vary based on source changes and the phase of the moon so it's good to keep it as optional extra information.

Merge #11605: [Wallet] Enable RBF by default in QT
5cbbbd7 [Wallet] Use RBF by default in QT only (Sjors Provoost)

Pull request description:

  ~If there are no objections, this would supersede #11556.~

  Enabling RBF by default avoids the need to explain all possible use cases of RBF.

  This PR does not change the default RPC wallet behavior, as this could break implementations that depend on it and it's not clear what happens when automated services suddenly switch on RBF on a large scale.

  After trying various approaches, we settled on just having QT ignore `-walletrbf`.

Pull request description:

  As discussed in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11289#issuecomment-334600457, adds the CScripts from the wallet to the `dumpwallet` RPC and then allows them to be imported with the `importwallet` RPC. Includes a basic test, and modifies the helptext of the dumpwallet RPC.

  Notes:
  - Reviewers: use `?w=1` to avoid the indentation-only change in commit `Add scripts to importwallet RPC `
  - currently the scripts are followed with `# addr=` comments just as the other keys are, unsure if this might confuse users into thinking all the scripts are for valid P2SH addresses though, but I don't think that should be an issue.
  - there are no birthtimes for scripts, so script imports don't affect rescans
  - `importwallet` imports the CScripts but I'm not sure how to approach specifying whether scripts are for P2SH addresses, BIP173 addresses, etc. whether that matters or not. Otherwise the RPC helptext might just need modification.

  Fixes #11715

Pull request description:

  This PR improves the BSD compatibility of the bdb4 installer script.

  See #11921, #11868.

  I've tested this on OpenBSD 6.2 (clang) and Ubuntu 16.04 (gcc).

  This needs testing on OSX at least, ~~and on gcc/Linux to make sure that applying the patch unconditionally doesn't negatively affect gcc~~.

  ~~NB: this is not yet sufficient to make `install_db4.sh` work on FreeBSD, as we need to use yet another `sha256` tool there. But it's a step in the right direction.~~

  ### contrib: New clang patch for install_db4

  Replace the clang patch with a new and improved version that also fixes the build issues with OpenBSD and FreeBSD's clang, and apply it unconditionally.

  Thanks to @fanquake for finding the patch.

  ### contrib: Make X=Y arguments work in install_db4

  Trailing X=Y arguments are supposed to be passed through unchanged to bdb's configure. This was not the case, at least with OpenBSD 6.2's shell.

  Fix this by not storing the arguments in a temporary variable but passing "$@" through directly.

  ### contrib: FreeBSD compatibility in install_db4.sh

  Unfortunately, FreeBSD uses yet another syntax for `sha256`.

  Support FreeBSD's syntax too. Using `uname` is a bit of a hack but it works and I found no way to distinguish the two.

Pull request description:

  Closes #11348

  Adds a `-walletdir` parameter which specifies a directory to use for wallets, allowing them to be stored separately from the 'main' data directory. Creates a new `wallets/` directory in datadir if this is the first time running, and defaults to using it if it exists.

  Includes tests and release notes. Things which might need to be considered more:
  - there is no 'lock' on the wallets directory, which might be needed?
  - because this uses a new wallets/ directory by default, downgrading to an earlier version won't see the wallets in that directory (not a big deal though, users can just copy them up to the main dir)
  - jnewbery suggested putting each wallet in its own directory, which is a good idea, but out of scope for this PR IMO. EDIT: this is being done in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11687
  - doc/files.md needs updating (will do soon)

  I also considered including  a cleanup by removing caching of data directory paths and instead just initialise them once on startup (c.f. #3073), but decided it wasn't super relevant here will just complicate review.

Pull request description:

  Instead of maintaining rote instructions for building BerkeleyDB in `doc/build-{unix,openbsd}.md`, reference a script that does the same thing and can be called from unanticipated contexts, e.g. Docker builds.

  The script was written with portability in mind, though I haven't tested it on openbsd.

  I wasn't sure if we wanted to create a separate directory for this sort of thing (e.g. `contrib/install`) so I just stuck it in `contrib/`; happy to move it around if anyone has another preference.

Merge #11438: Updated Windows build doc for WSL/Xenial workaround
7383d77 Updated instructions for Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. (Aaron Clauson)
e0fc4a7 Updated Windows build doc for WSL/Xenial workarounds. (Aaron Clauson)

Pull request description:

  An update to the Windows build document that provides workarounds for the broken 64 bit mingw32 cross compiler on WSL/Xenial.

  This update is an alternative to pull request #11437. While that pull request takes a valid approach by stating building on WSL should be avoided I think it is more useful to give Windows developers a workaround option.

  The instructions have been tested on:
  - Ubuntu 14.04 and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Ubuntu 16.04 and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Ubuntu 17.04 and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Windows Subsystem for Linux (Windows 10 OS Build 15063.608) and 32 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Windows Subsystem for Linux (Windows 10 OS Build 15063.608) and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain

  Related items:
  - Serious incompatibility problems w/ newer mingw-64 on Ubuntu #8653
  - `-fstack-protector-all` triggers crashes in mingw-w64 5.3.1 #8732
  - Windows build appears broken on WSL (buntu okay) #10269

4f890ba Add new step to clean $PATH var by removing /mnt specific Window's %PATH% paths that cause issues with the make system (Donal OConnor)

Pull request description:

  This updates the Windows build documentation with the workaround required to build using Ubuntu 17.04 on WSL, and makes it's explicit that building on Ubuntu 16.04 is broken, and not recommended.

  This includes a commit from @donaloconnor in #11244, and is mostly the investigative work of @laanwj throughout #8732, #8653 and quite a few other issues.

  I tested building on 14.04, 16.04.3 and 17.04 [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11244#issuecomment-327990251) and got the results we expect.

  ---

  Built master at c22a53cd63 on a Windows 10 VM (Version 1607, OS Build 14393.1593) using WSL with Ubuntu 14.04.
  ![windows](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/863730/30195033-867f1f24-9489-11e7-932c-e87b8764a627.png)

  Upgraded WSL to 16.04.3, and tried building c22a53cd63 using these instructions. The result is as expected.
  ![ubuntu 16 04 3](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/863730/30235670-b9bf36bc-953d-11e7-8c1d-4debf7113032.png)

  Upgraded WSL to 17.04 and tried building 3255d6347b using these instructions.

  If someone else could also verify that builds are working on both 14.04 and 17.04 with these instructions, that would be great.

Pull request description:

  using the same JSON-RPC default port for both testnet and regtest prevents running both at the same time on the same machine. Since RPCport=P2Pport-1 for both mainnet and testnet, and regtest P2Pport being 18444, 18443 is proposed for regtest RPCport

  Documentation has been updated (or created where missing); manpages doc/man/bitcoin*.1 could include information for regtest too

e067673 Avoid treating null RPC arguments different from missing arguments (Russell Yanofsky)
e666efc Get rid of redundant RPC params.size() checks (Russell Yanofsky)

Pull request description:

  This is a followup to #10783.

  - The first commit doesn't change behavior at all, just simplifies code.
  - The second commit just changes RPC methods to treat null arguments the same as missing arguments instead of throwing type errors.
  - The third commit updates developer notes after the cleanup.
  - The forth commit does some additional code cleanup in `getbalance`.

  Followup changes that should happen in future PRs:

  - [ ] Replace uses of `.isTrue()` with calls to `.get_bool()` so numbers, objects, and strings cause type errors instead of being interpreted as false. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133850525
  - [ ] Add braces around if statements. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133851133
  - [ ] Maybe improve UniValue type error exceptions and eliminate RPCTypeCheck and RPCTypeCheckArgument functions. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133829303

d342424301 Remove/ignore tx version in utxo and undo
This makes the following changes:
* In undo data and the chainstate database, the transaction nVersion
  field is removed from the data structures, always written as 0, and
  ignored when reading.
* The definition of hash_serialized in gettxoutsetinfo is changed to no
  longer incude the nVersion field. It is renamed to hash_serialized_2
  to avoid confusion. The new definition also includes transaction
  height and coinbase information, as this information was missing
  before.

This depends on having a CHashVerifier-based undo data checksum
verifier.

Apart from changing the definition of serialized_hash, downgrading
after using this patch is supported, as no release ever used the value
of nVersion field in UTXO entries.

e440ac7ef3 Introduce assumevalid setting to skip presumed valid scripts.
This disentangles the script validation skipping from checkpoints.

A new option is introduced "assumevalid" which specifies a block whos
 ancestors we assume all have valid scriptsigs and so we do not check
 them when they are also burried under the best header by two weeks
 worth of work.

Unlike checkpoints this has no influence on consensus unless you set
 it to a block with an invalid history.  Because of this it can be
 easily be updated without risk of influencing the network consensus.

This results in a massive IBD speedup.

This approach was independently recommended by Peter Todd and Luke-Jr
 since POW based signature skipping (see PR#9180) does not have the
 verifiable properties of a specific hash and may create bad incentives.

The downside is that, like checkpoints, the defaults bitrot and older
 releases will sync slower.  On the plus side users can provide their
 own value here, and if they set it to something crazy all that will
 happen is more time will be spend validating signatures.

Checkblocks and checklevel are also moved to the hidden debug options:
 Especially now that checkblocks has a low default there is little need
 to change these settings, and users frequently misunderstand them as
 influencing security or IBD speed.  By hiding them we offset the
 space added by this new option.

dd34570c45 doc: Improve windows build instructions using Linux subsystem
I did a build on a windows 10 laptop and took notes, and tried
to improve the document:

- It's the Linux subsystem for Windows, not the other way around.

- Split out dependencies: general ones, 64-bit, 32-bit. Remove the
  reference to `build-unix.md`, easy enough to be self-contained.

- Place 64-bit instructions first. 99% will want these.

- Installation instructions: recommend using `/` for prefix, same as we
  do on gitian builds. This will allow copying the files to a usable
  (from Windows) place using just `make DESTDIR=...`.

- Remove double spaces / consistent width reformatting.

fd46136dfa IBD check uses minimumchain work instead of checkpoints.
This introduces a 'minimum chain work' chainparam which is intended
 to be the known amount of work in the chain for the network at the
 time of software release.  If you don't have this much work, you're
 not yet caught up.

This is used instead of the count of blocks test from checkpoints.

This criteria is trivial to keep updated as there is no element of
subjectivity, trust, or position dependence to it. It is also a more
reliable metric of sync status than a block count.

> This new feature is enabled by default if Bitcoin Core is listening, and a connection to Tor can be made. It can be configured with the -listenonion, -torcontrol and -torpassword settings. To show verbose debugging information, pass -debug=tor.

But it is correct to say that the feature is enabled *regardless* of whether a connection to Tor can be made.

I propose to clarify that so that users can eliminate these in their logs (when `listen=1` and no Tor).
And I think it's okay to clarify about the `listen` option, because on several occasions when I read this before I always assumed `listening` meant `server=1` which cost me a lot of time in troubleshooting.

```

7c1716f65d Documentation for Building on Windows with WSL
The new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows a user to run a bash shell directly on Windows in an Ubuntu based environment.  This can be used to cross-compile Bitcoin directly on Windows without the need for a separate Linux VM or Server.  The instructions included in this commit explain how to configure the environment and build Bitcoin Core using this new feature.

The 32-bit variant is required for parsing sequence numbers from the

the 64-bit variant as a bonus, as I'm sure it will be needed at some
point.

Also adds tests, and updates `developer-notes.md`.

e5764e69cb doc: Remove outdated qt4 install information from README.md
This text is aimed at users installing the binaries.

Now that Qt5 is linked statically, there is no need to install Qt
as a run-time dependency.

b06f6a992b Fixed invalid example paths in gitian-building.md
The example local paths for "Building fully offline" have an extraneous ".git".  This caused an error when trying to run gbuild, like this

fatal: '/home/user/bitcoin.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

This commit fixes that.
