There's a brief race here, the process might've already exited and cleaned up
after itself. If that's the case, reading from the pidfile will harmlessly
fail. Keep those quiet.
This adds a -regetest-only undocumented (for regression testing only)
command-line option -blockversion=N to set block.nVersion.
Adds to the "has the rest of the network upgraded to a
block.nVersion we don't understand" code so it calls
-alertnotify when 51 of the last 100 blocks are up-version.
But it only alerts once, not with every subsequent new, upversion
block.
And adds a forknotify.py regression test to make sure it works.
Tested using forknotify.py:
Before adding CAlert::Notify, get:
Assertion failed: -alertnotify did not warn of up-version blocks
Before adding code to only alert once:
Assertion failed: -alertnotify excessive warning of up-version blocks
After final code in this pull:
Tests successful
The entire debug log would be huge, and could cause issues for automated tools
like travis. Printing 200 lines is an initial guess at a reasonable number,
more may be required.
Port over https://github.com/chronokings/huntercoin/pull/19 from
Huntercoin: This implements a new RPC command "getchaintips" that can be
used to find all currently active chain heads. This is similar to the
-printblocktree startup option, but it can be used without restarting
just via the RPC interface on a running daemon.
The regtest framework is local, so often there is no need to
discover our external IP. Setting -discover=0 in util.py works
around shutdown hang caused by GetExternalIP waiting in recv().
An user on IRC reported an issue where `getrawchangeaddress`
keeps returning a single address when the keypool is exhausted.
In my opinion this is strange behaviour.
- Change CReserveKey to fail when running out of keys in the keypool.
- Make `getrawchangeaddress` return RPC_WALLET_KEYPOOL_RAN_OUT when
unable to create an address.
- Add a Python RPC test for checking the keypool behaviour in combination
with encrypted wallets.
This adds a -whitelist option to specify subnet ranges from which peers
that connect are whitelisted. In addition, there is a -whitebind option
which works like -bind, except peers connecting to it are also
whitelisted (allowing a separate listen port for trusted connections).
Being whitelisted has two effects (for now):
* They are immune to DoS disconnection/banning.
* Transactions they broadcast (which are valid) are always relayed,
even if they were already in the mempool. This means that a node
can function as a gateway for a local network, and that rebroadcasts
from the local network will work as expected.
Whitelisting replaces the magic exemption localhost had for DoS
disconnection (local addresses are still never banned, though), which
implied hidden service connects (from a localhost Tor node) were
incorrectly immune to DoS disconnection as well. This old
behaviour is removed for that reason, but can be restored using
-whitelist=127.0.0.1 or -whitelist=::1 can be specified. -whitebind
is safer to use in case non-trusted localhost connections are expected
(like hidden services).
This avoids a race condition in which the connection was
made but the version handshake is not completed yet. In that
case transactions won't be broadcasted to a peer yet, and
the nodes will wait forever for their mempools to sync.
New RPC methods: return an estimate of the fee (or priority) a
transaction needs to be likely to confirm in a given number of
blocks.
Mike Hearn created the first version of this method for estimating fees.
It works as follows:
For transactions that took 1 to N (I picked N=25) blocks to confirm,
keep N buckets with at most 100 entries in each recording the
fees-per-kilobyte paid by those transactions.
(separate buckets are kept for transactions that confirmed because
they are high-priority)
The buckets are filled as blocks are found, and are saved/restored
in a new fee_estiamtes.dat file in the data directory.
A few variations on Mike's initial scheme:
To estimate the fee needed for a transaction to confirm in X buckets,
all of the samples in all of the buckets are used and a median of
all of the data is used to make the estimate. For example, imagine
25 buckets each containing the full 100 entries. Those 2,500 samples
are sorted, and the estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the very
next block is the 50'th-highest-fee-entry in that sorted list; the
estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the next two blocks is the
150'th-highest-fee-entry, etc.
That algorithm has the nice property that estimates of how much fee
you need to pay to get confirmed in block N will always be greater
than or equal to the estimate for block N+1. It would clearly be wrong
to say "pay 11 uBTC and you'll get confirmed in 3 blocks, but pay
12 uBTC and it will take LONGER".
A single block will not contribute more than 10 entries to any one
bucket, so a single miner and a large block cannot overwhelm
the estimates.
Taught bitcoind to close the HTTP connection after it gets a 'stop' command,
to make it easier for the regression tests to cleanly stop.
Move bitcoinrpc files to correct location.
Tidied up the python-based regression tests.
- Add license headers to source files (years based on commit dates)
in `src/test` as well as `qa`
- Add `README.md` to `src/test/data` specifying MIT license
Fixes#3848
Compiling with -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER and running the qa/rpc-test/ regression
tests uncovered a couple of wallet methods that should (but didn't)
acquire the cs_wallet mutext.
I also changed the AssertLockHeld() routine print to stderr and
abort, instead of printing to debug.log and then assert()'ing.
It is annoying to look in debug.log to find out which
AssertLockHeld is failing.
Adds a "walletconflicts" array to transaction info; if
a wallet transaction is mutated, the alternate transaction id
or ids are reported there (usually the array will be empty).
Metadata from the original transaction is copied to the mutant,
so the transaction time and "from" account of the mutant are
reported correctly.
Extend CMerkleTx::GetDepthInMainChain with the concept of
a "conflicted" transaction-- a transaction generated by the wallet
that is not in the main chain or in the mempool, and, therefore,
will likely never be confirmed.
GetDepthInMainChain() now returns -1 for conflicted transactions
(0 for unconfirmed-but-in-the-mempool, and >1 for confirmed).
This makes getbalance, getbalance '*', and listunspent all agree when there are
mutated transactions in the wallet.
Before:
listunspent: one 49BTC output
getbalance: 96 BTC (change counted twice)
getbalance '*': 46 BTC (spends counted twice)
After: all agree, 49 BTC available to spend.
Reworked send.sh, so it works properly on my Mac (killall send.sh
doesn't work, because the process name is 'bash' not 'send.sh').
So now send.sh writes a .send.pid file, and invoking it as
send.sh -STOP (as the bitcoind -walletnotify) signals that PID.
Add a function `WaitBlocks` to wait for blocks to propagate to all three
nodes, and use this instead of waiting a fixed time of one second.
Fixes#3445.
qa/rpc-tests/wallet.sh runs a three-node -regtest network,
generates a fresh blockchain, and then exercises basic wallet
sending/receiving functionality using command-line RPC.
