For steady-state operation, this reduces the average time between wallet disk
writes from once per block to once per hour.
On -rescan, witness caches are only written out at the end along with the best
block, increasing speed while ensuring that on-disk state is kept consistent.
Witness caches are now never recreated during a -reindex, on the assumption that
the blocks themselves are not changing (the chain is just being reconstructed),
and so the witnesses will remain valid.
Part of #1749.
Commit 2eeb6b randomized the order of input and output notes,
but this is now known to prevent the chaining of multiple joinsplits
in a single transaction. The root cause has yet to be determined.
This patch is a temporary fix and disables the shuffling of input
and output notes. It also adds a chained joinsplit test to the
python qa test suite.
Add z_sendmany rule that when coinbase utxos must be spent in their entirety, with no change
See #1616 - coinbase utxos must be consumed entirely, without any change, since there
is currently no way to specify a change address in z_sendmany.
Fix issue where z_sendmany amount parameter is too strict
Upstream treats an amount parameter of `1` the same as `1.0`. Third-party would like this fixed.
Return a more informative error message when trying to spend coinbase; select non-coinbase inputs when sending to a transparent output if needed
For #1373 and #1519
Code change:
- Extra parameter added to AvailableCoins to include or exclude Coinbase coins. Default value of parameter is 'true' as current behaviour is to include Coinbase coins.
- SelectCoins, used for sending taddr->taddr, will now exclude Coinbase coins.
Unit test:
Tried to write a test to focus on the extra parameter added to AvailableCoins but could not.
Empirical testing on Testnet:
Current behaviour is that upstream RPC commands sendfrom and sendtoaddress try to spend coinbase coins returned by AvailableCoins. So the user will see:
```
./zcash-cli sendtoaddress mrEGRmGJhmwAa4MQjzGd86ry63vrvovu9b 1000.0
error: {"code":-6,"message":"Insufficient funds"}
./zcash-cli sendtoaddress mrEGRmGJhmwAa4MQjzGd86ry63vrvovu9b 0.00003000
error: {"code":-4,"message":"Error: The transaction was rejected! This might happen if some of the coins in your wallet were already spent, such as if you used a copy of wallet.dat and coins were spent in the copy but not marked as spent here."}
./zcash-cli sendfrom "" mrEGRmGJhmwAa4MQjzGd86ry63vrvovu9b 0.00003000
error: {"code":-4,"message":"Error: The transaction was rejected! This might happen if some of the coins in your wallet were already spent, such as if you used a copy of wallet.dat and coins were spent in the copy but not marked as spent here."}
```
After fix is applied:
```
./zcash-cli sendtoaddress mrEGRmGJhmwAa4MQjzGd86ry63vrvovu9b 1000.0
error: {"code":-6,"message":"Insufficient funds"}
./zcash-cli sendtoaddress mrEGRmGJhmwAa4MQjzGd86ry63vrvovu9b 0.00003000
error: {"code":-4,"message":"Coinbase funds can only be sent to a zaddr"}
```
When non-coinbase UTXOs exist, they will now be selected and used:
```
./zcash-cli z_sendmany tnPJZHeVxegCg91utaquBRPEDBGjozfz9iLDHt7zvphFbZdspNgkTVLCGjDcadQBKNyUwKs8pNjDXuEZKrE1aNLpFwHgz4t '[{"address":"mx5fTRhLZwbYE7ZqhAPueZgQGSnwTbdvKU", "amount":0.01}]'
./zcash-cli sendtoaddress mrEGRmGJhmwAa4MQjzGd86ry63vrvovu9b 1000.0
error: {"code":-6,"message":"Insufficient funds"}
./zcash-cli sendtoaddress mrEGRmGJhmwAa4MQjzGd86ry63vrvovu9b 0.00003000

899f2894823f51f15fc73b5e0871ac943edbe0ff88e1635f86906087b72caf30
```
Extra parameter added to AvailableCoins to include or exclude Coinbase coins.
SelectCoins, used for sending taddr->taddr, will exclude Coinbase coins.
Added qa rpc test and a runtime parameter -regtestprotectcoinbase to enforce
the coinbase->zaddr consensus rule in regtest mode.
