Immature coinbase spends are allowed in the memory pool if they can be mined in the next block.
They are not allowed in the memory pool if they cannot be mined in the next block.
This regression test tests those edge cases.
Ported txnmall.sh to Python, and updated to match
recent transaction malleability changes.
I also modified it so it tests both double-spending
confirmed and unconfirmed (only-in-mempool) transactions.
Renamed to txn_doublespend, since that is really what is
being tested. And told the pull-tester to run both
variations on this test.
3c30f27 travis: disable rpc tests for windows until they're not so flaky (Cory Fields)
daf03e7 RPC tests: create initial chain with specific timestamps (Gavin Andresen)
a8b2ce5 regression test only setmocktime RPC call (Gavin Andresen)
Speed up generating blocks in regression test mode, by moving
block-creating and nonce-finding directly into the setgenerate
RPC call (instead of starting up a mining thread and waiting for
it to find a block).
This makes the forknotify RPC test three times quicker, for
example (10 seconds runtime instead of 30 seconds, assuming
the initial blockchain cache is already built).
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
Code signing failed for me on OSX 10.9.5 because the
Versions/Current symbolic links were being replaced
with a duplicate copy of the frameworks' code.
Releases were bigger than they needed to be, for the
same reason.
There is no reason to store thousands of orphan transactions;
normally an orphan's parents will either be broadcast or
mined reasonably quickly.
This pull drops the maximum number of orphans from 10,000 down
to 100, and adds a command-line option (-maxorphantx) that is
just like -maxorphanblocks to override the default.
Prevent denial-of-service attacks by banning
peers that send us invalid orphan transactions
and only storing orphan transactions given to
us by a peer while the peer is connected.
Running git version 2.1.0 on OSX (homebrew), I get

I'm guessing git command-line parsing got more strict recently?
The wallet now uses the mempool fee estimator with a new
command-line option: -txconfirmtarget (default: 1) instead
of using hard-coded fees or priorities.
A new bitcoind that hasn't seen enough transactions to estimate
will fall back to the old hard-coded minimum priority or
transaction fee.
-paytxfee option overrides -txconfirmtarget.
Relaying and mining code isn't changed.
For Qt, the coin control dialog now uses priority estimates to
label transaction priority (instead of hard-coded constants);
unspent outputs were consistently labeled with a much higher
priority than is justified by the free transactions actually
being accepted into blocks.
I did not implement any GUI for setting -txconfirmtarget; I would
suggest getting rid of the "Pay transaction fee" GUI and replace
it with either "target number of confirmations" or maybe
a "faster confirmation <--> lower fee" slider or select box.
Two changes:
First removes a unit test that fails in my development environment
(OSX, compiled -g3 with clang).
sipa says that's not terribly surprising; the CMutableTransaction change
makes signing a little more expensive but verification quicker. The unit
test timed sign+verify-uncached versus verify-cached-five-times.
He also says the test will be invalid when libsec256kp1 is integrated
(because validation is super-optimized over signing).
core.h change fixes a compiler warning (clang -Wall : CMutableTransaction defined
as struct, declared as class in script.h).
Relax the AreInputsStandard() tests for P2SH transactions --
allow any Script in a P2SH transaction to be relayed/mined,
as long as it has 15 or fewer signature operations.
Rationale: https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/88be40c141bc67acb247
I don't have an easy way to test this, but the code changes are
straightforward and I've updated the AreInputsStandard unit tests.
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.
Use CFeeRate instead of an int64_t for quantities that are
fee-per-size.
Helps prevent unit-conversion mismatches between the wallet,
relaying, and mining code.
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.
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.
