Closes#3056.
Please also review https://github.com/zcash/librustzcash/pull/8
This PR:
1. Introduces ZCSaplingIncrementalMerkleTree using Pedersen hashes.
2. Adds support for Sapling anchors into consensus rules. (Adds commitments, checks anchors are correct, handles block (dis)connects, etc.)
3. Handles mempool eviction for obsolete anchors.
4. Enforces correctness of block's Sapling root field
5. Changes miner to correctly apply the Sapling root to the block header
6. Handles mempool consistency checks for anchors
Make some globals static that can be
I wrote this patch as part of making a Bazel build system but it really is independent from that so I'm putting this as a separate PR.
External linkage does not help and just encourages sloppy dependencies (ie using symbols only declared in a cpp file in some other cpp file) and can lead to weird issues when there are name collisions.
From Sapling, the z-address recipients could require either JSDescriptions or
OutputDescriptions. Instead of trying to give an exact number in the help text,
rely on transaction size estimation to guide user behaviour.
Refactor t-address encoding
Includes code cherry-picked from the following upstream PRs:
- bitcoin/bitcoin#11117
- bitcoin/bitcoin#11259
- Only the second commit (first is for QT code)
- bitcoin/bitcoin#11167

Part of #3058. Precursor to #3202.
Closes#3182 - Least Authority Issue D
Prevent undefined behaviour when null pointer is passed in as parameter to function
Includes a backport of bitcoin/bitcoin#10250.
This patch removes the need for the intermediary Base58 type
CBitcoinAddress, by providing {Encode,Decode,IsValid}Destination
function that directly operate on the conversion between strings
and CTxDestination.
