2f796e5 Better error message if Tor version too old (Peter Todd)
8f4e67f net: Automatically create hidden service, listen on Tor (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
- Force AUTHCOOKIE size to be 32 bytes: This provides protection against
an attack where a process pretends to be Tor and uses the cookie
authentication method to nab arbitrary files such as the
wallet
- torcontrol logging
- fix cookie auth
- add HASHEDPASSWORD auth, fix fd leak when fwrite() fails
- better error reporting when cookie file is not ok
- better init/shutdown flow
- stop advertizing service when disconnected from tor control port
- COOKIE->SAFECOOKIE auth
69d373f Don't wipe the sigcache in TestBlockValidity (Pieter Wuille)

830e3f3 Make sigcache faster and more efficient (Pieter Wuille)
Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket
API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically.
https://stem.torproject.org/api/control.html#stem.control.Controller.create_ephemeral_hidden_service
This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available),
bitcoin automatically creates a hidden service to listen on, without user
manual configuration. This will positively affect the number of available
.onion nodes.
- When the node is started, connect to Tor through control socket
- Send `ADD_ONION` command
- First time:
- Make it create a hidden service key
- Save the key in the data directory for later usage
- Make it redirect port 8333 to the local port 8333 (or whatever port we're listening on).
- Keep control socket connection open for as long node is running. The hidden service will
(by default) automatically go away when the connection is closed.
Process `getheaders` messages from whitelisted peers even if we are in
initial block download. Whitelisted peers can always use a node as a
block source.
Also log a debug message when the request is ignored, for
troubleshooting.
Fixes#6971.
d1c3762 Revert "Revert "Enable policy enforcing GetMedianTimePast as the end point of lock-time constraints"" (Gregory Maxwell)
e4e5334 Restore MedianTimePast for locktime. (Gregory Maxwell)
Previously, the undo weren't being flushed during a reindex because
fKnown was set to true in FindBlockPos. That is the correct behaviour
for block files as they aren't being touched, but undo files are
touched.
This changes the behaviour to always flush when switching to a new file
(even for block files, though that isn't really necessary).

Moves the call Initialize() from init.cpp to CreateWithArguments() and handles the
return value. Moves the call Shutdown() from init.cpp to destructor.
Changes Initialize() and Shutdown() to protected members.
Revert "Revert "Add rules--presently disabled--for using GetMedianTimePast as endpoint for lock-time calculations""
This reverts commit 40cd32e835.
After careful analysis it was determined that the change was, in fact, safe and several people were suffering
momentary confusion about locktime semantics.
