Changes the dust policy to require transactions to add the dust
limit itself rather than the relay or wallet fee to the fees paid
when creating dust outputs.
This both disincentivizes dust outputs the same as before when dust
and minumum fee were equal and greatly simplifies the rule, as it
no longer requires 2 variables to calculate dust, but just one:
"If an output is under x, add x to the fee."
MIN_CHANGE influences the minimum change output size but was only
hardcoded and wallet users were not able to override this in any
way. This change retains the logic for the calculation as a
hardcoded constant but instead uses the user-configurable params
-discardthreshold and -mintxfee as a basis. The rationale for
having the minimum change equal to the discard threshold plus 2x
the minimum fee has not changed.
MIN_FINAL_CHANGE was a hardcoded limit that was impossible to be
changed by users. This causes problems when the dust limit is
changing because then a user would need a new release to be able
to have lower change outputs.
This commit replaces the entire notion of MIN_FINAL_CHANGE to just
follow the discard threshold, which can be set by the user using
-discardthreshold.
Creates a wallet-specific, configurable dust limit that enables
gradual implementation of the dust limit. Each transaction created
with the wallet will adhere to this threshold rather than the dust
limits used for relay, so that the wallet stays usable while the
network changes (lowers) its dust limits.
This change only implements the parameter but does not change its
default value.
Prepares for having more than one dust limit configured, yet
allowing the same function to return whether or not an output is
dust.
Implements the check with nDustLimit (-dustlimit) for relay related
queries, and - for lack of alternatives - uses the same parameter
for CWallet::GetRequiredFee until a wallet-specific dust limit is
introduced
* Change from a block target number to using speed labels which pick predefined fee values.
* Remove smart fee labels from send coins control dialog.
* Rename slider position configuration for Qt, as smart fee slider settings are not compatible with preset fee settings.
* Enable full block tests
* Fix invalidblocktest
* Move watch only address funding to immediately before it's used, so node 0 doesn't spend the output before it checks it later.
* Fix `fundrawtransaction` tests and sanitize fee calculation at the same time
* Correct resolution of chain parameters when validating tx inputs, especially from previous coinbase transactions
* Set block versions on full block tests so that the generated blocks are AuxPoW compatible
* Modify chain consensus parameters to be height aware
* Correct implementation of simplified rewards in parameters
* Correct max money
* Use base block version in IsSuperMajority() instead of full version
* Correct mining of blocks in AuxPoW tests
* Add in missing pre-AuxPoW consensus checks
Changes are as below:
Wrap CBlockHeader::nVersion into a new class (CBlockVersion). This allows to take care of interpreting the field into a base version, auxpow flag and the chain ID.
Update getauxblock.py for new 'generate' RPC call.
Add 'auxpow' to block JSON.
Accept auxpow as PoW verification.
Add unit tests for auxpow verification.
Add check for memory-layout of CBlockVersion.
Weaken auxpow chain ID checks for the testnet.
Allow Params() to overrule when to check the auxpow chain ID and for legacy blocks. Use this to disable the checks on testnet.
Introduce CPureBlockHeader.
Split the block header part that is used by auxpow and the "real" block header (that uses auxpow) to resolve the cyclic dependency between the two.
Differentiate between uint256 and arith_uint256.
This change was done upstream, modify the auxpow code.
Add missing lock in auxpow_tests.
Fix REST header check for auxpow headers.
Those can be longer, thus take that into account. Also perform the check actually on an auxpow header.
Correctly set the coinbase for getauxblock results.
Call IncrementExtraNonce in getauxblock so that the coinbase is actually initialised with the stuff it should be. (BIP30 block height and COINBASE_FLAGS.)
Implement getauxblock plus regression test.
Turn auxpow test into FIXTURE test.
This allows using of the Params() calls.
Move CMerkleTx code to auxpow.cpp.
Otherwise we get linker errors when building without wallet.
Fix rebase with BIP66.
Update the code to handle BIP66's nVersion=3.
Enforce that auxpow parent blocks have no auxpow block version.
This is for compatibility with namecoind. See also https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin/pull/199.
Move auxpow-related parameters to Consensus::Params.
When importing a watch-only address over importmulti with a specific timestamp,
the wallet's nTimeFirstKey is currently set to 1. After this change, the
provided timestamp will be used and stored as metadata associated with
watch-only key. This can improve wallet performance because it can avoid the
need to scan the entire blockchain for watch only addresses when timestamps are
provided.
Also adds timestamp to validateaddress return value (needed for tests).
Fixes#9034.

This command allows a user to increase the fee on a wallet transaction T, creating a "bumper" transaction B.
T must signal that it is BIP-125 replaceable.
T's change output is decremented to pay the additional fee. (B will not add inputs to T.)
T cannot have any descendant transactions.
Once B bumps T, neither T nor B's outputs can be spent until either T or (more likely) B is mined.

On repeated calls to SelectCoins we try to meet the fee necessary for the last transaction, the new fee required might be smaller, so increase our change by the difference if we can.
Once we've picked coins and dummy-signed the transaction to calculate fee, if we don't have sufficient fee, then try to meet the fee by reducing change before resorting to picking new coins.
Performing signing in the inner loop has terrible performance
when many passes through are needed to complete the selection.
Signing before the algorithm is complete also gets in the way
of correctly setting the fee (e.g. preventing over-payment when
the fee required goes down on the final selection.)
Use of the dummy might overpay on the signatures by a couple bytes
in uncommon cases where the signatures' DER encoding is smaller
than the dummy: Who cares?
