Any projects which want to use Hush code from now on will need to be licensed as
GPLv3 or we will send the lawyers: https://www.softwarefreedom.org/
Notably, Komodo (KMD) is licensed as GPLv2 and is no longer compatible to receive
code changes, without causing legal issues. MIT projects, such as Zcash, also cannot pull
in changes from the Hush Full Node without permission from The Hush Developers,
which may in some circumstances grant an MIT license on a case-by-case basis.
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.
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.
We do not need to be able to calculate multiple SignatureHash versions for a
single transaction format; instead, we use the transaction format to determine
the SigVersion.
The consensus branch ID *does* need to be passed in from the outside, as only
the caller knows the context in which the SignatureHash is being calculated
(ie. mempool acceptance vs. block validation).
JoinSplit signature verification has been moved into ContextualCheckTransaction,
where the consensus branch ID can be obtained.
The argument to the sign command for zcash-tx has been modified to take a height
in addition to the optional sigtype flags.
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.
- implement find_value() function for UniValue
- replace all Array/Value/Object types with UniValues, remove JSON Spirit to UniValue wrapper
- remove JSON Spirit sources
1557.make v2 txns standard
Make v2 transactions standard. This also corrects a rule about admitting large orphan transactions into the mempool, to account for v2-specific fields. ref #1557
