-Syncing now happens in stages. Masternodes and Sporks, then Masternode winners, then proposals. Some of these require the masternode signatures, otherwise there are race conditions within the syncing process itself.
-Resigning - When a proposal is sent to the network initially it's signed by a masternode, if that masternode goes inactive the proposal becomes invalid. Resigning allows other masternodes to update proposal keep it valid with the coming and going of masternodes.
-Resigning compatibility - non masternodes will scan and flag proposals as invalid to accept updated owners.
-Invalid votes are now actively removed from the proposals when they go inactive
- Remove budgets with negative votes of more than 10% of network
- Only allow proposals into budget that have more than 10% of network support
- Faster removal of inactive masternodes
- Implemented spork for only paying new nodes after a period of time on mainnet
- protocol bump
- fixed a few issues with sporks. Spork show now shows all sporks, instead of the changed ones. IsSporkActive now supports sporks set to 0 as on.
- Added new CMasterBroadcast/CmasternodePing objects, with all of the code required to check each new message. SHould be much easier to tell what's going on now.
- bump PROTOCOL_VERSION (new collaterals are incompatible with 70066)
- define MIN_POOL_PEER_PROTO_VERSION instead of confusing darkSendPool.MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION / bump it too
Exact amounts are now allocated directly to denominated
funds then submitted to the pool. This improves anonymity
by never having non-denomination inputs enter or exit the pool.
Randomness has also been added to the amount of each session to
improve anonymity.
Many changes:
* Do not use 'getblocks', but 'getheaders', and use it to build a headers tree.
* Blocks are fetched in parallel from all available outbound peers, using a
limited moving window. When one peer stalls the movement of the window, it is
disconnected.
* No more orphan blocks. At all. We only ever request a block for which we have
verified the headers, and store it to disk immediately. This means that a
disk-fill attack would require PoW.
* Require protocol version 31800 for every peer (released in december 2010).
* No more syncnode (we sync from everyone we can, though limited to 1 during
initial *headers* sync).
* Introduce some extra named constants, comments and asserts.
