libzcash::PaymentAddress has been renamed to libzcash::SproutPaymentAddress,
and a new typedef boost::variant is now libzcash::PaymentAddress. Similarly
for ViewingKey and SpendingKey.
A new class InvalidEncoding is introduced as the default boost::variant
option for each address and key type; it is used during decoding instead
of boost::optional.
All address and key storage functions in the wallet have been modified to
refer specifically to the Sprout types, as they are used very precisely.
In most other cases, the more general type is leveraged as much as possible,
and we convert to the Sprout type when necessary. This will be subsequently
wrapped in, or replaced with, context-specific functions once Sapling
types are implemented.
Sapling merkle tree implementation
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
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
- Only the first commit (the rest are not part of the t-address encoding refactor).
Part of #3058. Precursor to #3202.
Update note classes to be polymorphic
Closes#3194. Lays foundation for introduction of Sapling notes through refactoring and creation of a class hierarchy for Sprout notes. This PR updates some tests, but otherwise is a no-op.
Load Sapling testnet parameters into memory
This PR depends on https://github.com/zcash/librustzcash/pull/4.
The parameters are not loaded into memory if `zcashd` is configured as a mainnet node -- this is something we can change in the weeks before `2.0.0`.
