The new parameter is to satisfy the principle of least astonishment
by providing a sensible default for the maximum number of transparent
inputs to shield. If users do not configure -mempooltxinputlimit
it is possible for them to create transactions with hundreds of
inputs which suffer from mining delay, due to the current state of
the network where some miners have configured -mempooltxinputlimit
as a way to deal with the problem of quadratic hashing.
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/14999 is tracking an encoding
bug with the Tor control protocol, where many of the QuotedString instances that
Tor outputs are in fact CStrings, but it is not documented which ones are which.
https://spec.torproject.org/control-spec section 2.1.1 provides a future-proofed
rule for handing QuotedStrings, which this commit implements.
Usability improvements for z_importkey
- Add height parameter to z_importkey to reduce rescan range
- Change semantics of rescan parameter, so users can explicitly force a rescan
for existing keys.
Closes#2032

Bitcoin 0.12 test PRs 1
Cherry-picked from the following upstream PRs:
- bitcoin/bitcoin#6337
- bitcoin/bitcoin#6390
- bitcoin/bitcoin#5515
- bitcoin/bitcoin#6287 (partial, remainder included in bitcoin/bitcoin#6703)
- bitcoin/bitcoin#6465
Part of #2074.
Instead of only checking height to decide whether to disable script checks,
actually check whether a block is an ancestor of a checkpoint, up to which
headers have been validated. This means that we don't have to prevent
accepting a side branch anymore - it will be safe, just less fast to
do.
We still need to prevent being fed a multitude of low-difficulty headers
filling up our memory. The mechanism for that is unchanged for now: once
a checkpoint is reached with headers, no headers chain branching off before
that point are allowed anymore.
Univalue's parsing of \u escape sequences did not handle NUL characters
correctly. They were, effectively, dropped. The extended test-case
fails with the old code, and is fixed with this patch.
Convert entire source tree from json_spirit to UniValue
This PR cherry-picks bitcoin/bitcoin#6121 and then migrates the Zcash-specific code to UniValue.
Also cherry-picks:
- bitcoin/bitcoin#6241
- bitcoin/bitcoin#6234
Closes#1985.
JSON makes no distinction between numbers and reals, and our code
doesn't need to do so either.
This removes VREAL, as well as its specific post-processing in
`UniValue::write`. Non-monetary amounts do not need to be forcibly
formatted with 8 decimals, so the extra roundtrip was unnecessary
(and potentially loses precision).
Zcash: cherry-picked from commit 7650449a6777710cf818d41862626164da0cd412
Dropped changes to qa/rpc-tests/rest.py pending addition of /rest/headers/
This is the format that was always returned to JSON clients.
The difference was not noticed before, because VREAL values
are post-processed by univalue.
By implementing the functionality directly it breaks the dependency
of rpcserver on utilmoneystr. FormatMoney is now only used for debugging
purposes.
To test, port over the formatting tests from util_tests.cpp to
rpc_tests.cpp.
