- Cache saves masternode payment history
- On startup, the client will find the most recent block and calculate the amount of entries to ask for. The other peer will then send that amount of entries to save bandwidth on restarts.
- Replaced coinbase cache in favor of using the masternode payments voting system only
- Syncing masternode payments now supports up to the syncing the entire payment list
We don't want to erase orphans that still have missing inputs, they should still be tracked as orphans. Also, the transaction thats being accepted can't be an orphan otherwise it would have previously been accepted, so doesn't need to be added to the erase queue.

Make it possible to opt-out of the centralized alert system by providing
an option `-noalerts` or `-alerts=0`. The default remains unchanged.
This is a gentler form of #6260, in which I went a bit overboard by
removing the alert system completely.
I intend to add this to the GUI options in another pull after this.

- Do not rely on local lastTimeSeen and requested fRequested anymore. Use last know (signed) ping instead and base all logic on that. Should reduce mn list difference between
nodes.
- Rework CActiveMasternode accordingly along with states, errorMessages, rpc etc.
- Clean some related code, move parts from public to private
- drop c_str in LogPrintf that were related to this functionality (todo: drop it for LogPrintf everywhere else)
Submissions to the network now require a fee to be paid to the network (mining fee) using a special transaction with a OP_RETURN && ProposalHash in one of the outputs. This allows the network to filter spam quickly, while also allowing anyone to submit a proposal to the network.
To implement these changes we've introduced a few new commands:
mnbudget prepare PROPOSAL-NAME URL PAYMENT_COUNT BLOCK_START DASH_ADDRESS DASH_AMOUNT YES|NO|ABSTAIN [USE_IX(TRUE|FALSE)]
- To create the special transaction
mnbudget submit PROPOSAL-NAME URL PAYMENT_COUNT BLOCK_START DASH_ADDRESS DASH_AMOUNT YES|NO|ABSTAIN FEE_TX
- After the transaction is accepted by the network and has 3 confirmations, you can submit the transaction to the network here
mnbudget show
- Get the proposal hash from here
mnbudget vote PROPOSAL-HASH YES|NO|ABSTAIN
- You can now simply vote by hash using this command
-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.
- With nodes coming and going on the network, the network could come to different opinions about who should get paid next in line due to some nodes being flagged as failing a PoSe check. This will have to be fixed by introducing a blockchain based PoSe system, but that's out of the scope of this release. To fix the issues in the interrim, I'm removing PoSe checks for the time being.
- Masternode nLastPaid is removed and a new caching system that keeps the last 30 days of coinbase payees replaces it
- To deal with some significant attack vectors, the masternode donation feature was removed. The donation feature was added to support developement anyway, so this will be replaced by the budgeting code.
- This code should allow the network to come to consensus about who should be paid pretty effectively
- Added FindProposal and FindFinalBudget to budgeting class
- Added 2 new sporks for Proposals and Budget payment enforcement. This is outside of the decentralized code so we can turn it off if there's a problem.
- Detect budget blocks and pay correct amounts in super blocks
- All budgeting code seems to be rather stable now. Serialization/caching is working rather well.
- Fixed some ambiguous variable names within the budgeting system that were causing the file caching to not work all of the time
- Added commands for using budgets "mnbudget" and "mnfinalbudget"
- Supports 100% decentralized budget control and view-only site with json meta data object
- Removed of reference node and replaced with decentralized quorums that pick the masternodes who get paid each block.
- Made a budgeting system, where masternodes can vote on individual budgets and the data is stored perminently on each clients computer
Some tests in CheckBlockIndex require chainActive.Tip(), but when reindexing, chainActive has not been set on the first call to CheckBlockIndex.
reindex.py starts a node, mines 3 blocks, stops, and reindexes with CheckBlockIndex enabled.
