Remove the pnext pointer in CBlockIndex, and replace it with a
vBlockIndexByHeight vector (no effect on memory usage). pnext can
now be replaced by vBlockIndexByHeight[nHeight+1], but
FindBlockByHeight becomes constant-time.
This also means the entire mapBlockIndex structure and the block
index entries in it become purely blocktree-related data, and
independent from the currently active chain, potentially allowing
them to be protected by separate mutexes in the future.
At startup, check that the expected genesis is loaded. This should prevent
cases where accidentally a datadir from the wrong network is loaded
(testnet vs mainnet, e.g.).
Compiling on my OSX 10.6 build machine, I get:
Undefined symbols:

Linking against the boost_chrono fixes the issue.
Windows builds already link against boost_chrono; Linux doesn't, but compiles (on pull-tester / gitian, at least).
A base_uint used to be made of an array of unsigned ints. This works
fine on most platforms, but might not work on certain present or future
platforms. The code breaks if an unsigned int is 16 or 64 bits, so it's
important to be specific. Also changed "u" to "you".
New method in bitcoinrpc: RunLater, that uses a map of deadline

Behavior of walletpassphrase is changed; before, calling
walletpassphrase again before the lock timeout passed
would result in: Error: Wallet is already unlocked.
You would have to call lockwallet before walletpassphrase.
Now: the last walletpassphrase with correct password
wins, and overrides any previous timeout.
Fixes issue# 1961 which was caused by spawning too many threads.
Test plan:
Start with encrypted wallet, password 'foo'
NOTE:
python -c 'import time; print("%d"%time.time())'

So we stop getting pull requests (like #2604) fixing problems with disabled Script opcodes.
A hard fork would be required to re-enable these, and if we ever did that we'd require extensive review and testing.
When debugging another issue, I found a hang-during-startup race condition due to
LoadWallet calling SetMinVersion (via LoadCryptedKey).
Writing to the file that you're in the process of reading is a bad idea.
Bitcoin-Qt could core dump if application initialization failed in certain ways.
I double-fixed this:
1) qt/bitcoin.cpp now shuts down core threads cleanly if AppInit2 returns false
2) init.cpp now exits before StartNode() if strErrors is set (no reason to StartNode if we're just going to exit immediately anyway).
Tested by triggering all of the various ways AppInit2 can fail, either by passing bogus command-line arguments or just recompiling tweaked code to simulate failure.
This is a partial fix for #2480
Instead of killing a connection when the receive buffer overflows,
just temporarily halt receiving before that happens. Also, no
matter what, always allow at least one full message in the receive
buffer (otherwise blocks larger than the configured buffer size
would pause indefinitely).
It is possible to have a wallet.dat file without any bestblock
record at all (if created offline, for example), which - when
loaded into a client with a up-to-date chain - does no rescan and
shows no transactions.
Also make sure to write the current best block after a rescan, so
it isn't necessary twice.
* Bugfix: output the correct best block hash (during IBD, it can
differ from the actual current best block)
* Add height to output
* Add hash_serialized, which is a hash of the entire UTXO state.
Can be useful to compare two nodes.
* Add total_amount, the sum of all UTXOs' values.
Previously, JSON-RPC clients accessed URI "/", and the JSON-RPC server
did not care about the URI at all, and would accept any URI as valid.
Change the JSON-RPC server to require URI "/" for all current accesses.
This changes enables the addition of future interfaces at different
URIs, such as pull request #1982 which demonstrates HTTP REST wallet
download.
Or, a future, breaking change in JSON-RPC interface could be introduced
by serving JSON-RPC calls from new URI "/v2/".
This value gets stale really quickly, do not hardcode it into a message.
Completely remove it for now.
Later on, a mechanism will be added to determine fees based on the mempool.

why:
- the current splash-screen has no referring to official images on - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Promotional_graphics
- the current splash screen only exists in a low res jpg
- current splash screen looks dark and "hackish"
- new splash screen should generate positive, "trust-emotions".
- new splash screen gives the user infos about the running client.
- new splash screen can handle long messages (in a lot of - languages the text is cropped in current release)
- new size (x2) 400x312
- contains textual information about the client
- textinfos are dynamicly written to the pixmap
when -testnet is switch on, the splashscreen will show the bitcoin logo in testnet-color (as well as a text [testnet])
example: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7383846/new_bitcoin_splash.png
- this solution works stable on mac and ensures that the window get's reopened when the user clicks the dock icon .
- tested on 10.8 with Qt4.8.4 and Qt5.0.1

Having the export button at the top was confusing people into thinking
the entire wallet was exported.
This commit moves the export button to the address book, receiving
addresses and transaction tabs separately.
Every block index entry currently requires a separately-allocated
CBigNum. By replacing them with uint256, it's just 32 bytes extra
in CBlockIndex itself.
This should save us a few megabytes in RAM, and less allocation
overhead.
- updates ClientModel::getBlockSource() to return all available states and
sorts enum BlockSource in order of usage cases (none default, then reindex,
import and network)
- updates BitcoinGUI::setNumBlocks() to better use getBlockSource() and
also adds a message, when we have NO block source available
- continue the mac behavior of clearing button icons (because it's unusual on mac apps)
- fix: new button variable names, new buttons (verifyMessage, signMessage)

This introduces the concept of the 'sync node', which is the one we
asked for missing blocks. In case the sync node goes away, a new one
will be selected.
For now, the heuristic is very simple, but it can easily be extended
later to add better policies.

It seems there were two mechanisms for assessing whether a CNode
was still in use: a refcount and a release timestamp. The latter
seems to have been there for a long time, as a safety mechanism.
However, this timer also keeps CNode objects alive for far longer
than necessary after disconnects, potentially opening up a DoS
window.
This commit removes the timestamp-based mechanism, and replaces
it with an assert(nRefCount >= 0), to verify that the refcounting
is indeed correctly working.
As these were not updated when 'backporting' the 225430 checkpoint
into head.
Additionally, also report verification progress in debug.log, and
tweak the sigcheck-verification-speed-factor a bit.
- use labelExplanation for sending and receiving tab and move the string
from the ui-file to the source
- ensure that the table holding the label and address is resized so that
the address column fits the address and the label column is stretched to
fit the window size
- rename some stuff for much easier readbility in the code (I find it hard
to get the meaning of stuff like labels or buttons)
Two reasons for this change:
1. Need to always use boost::thread's sleep, even on Windows, so the
sleeps can be interrupted (prior code used Windows' built-in Sleep).
2. I always forgot what units the old Sleep took.
Create a boost::thread_group object at the qt/bitcoind main-loop level
that will hold pointers to all the main-loop threads.
This will replace the vnThreadsRunning[] array.
For testing, ported the BitcoinMiner threads to use its
own boost::thread_group.

This will result in re-requesting invs if we are under heavy inv
load, however as long as we get no more than 16,000 invs in two
minutes, this should have no effect on runtime behavior.
- the send coins context menu entry was not working anymore, because
a non current version of #2220 was merged onto current master
- also removes some unneeded spaces and adds a comment to
WalletModel::getNumTransactions()
Tabs don't fits in line in Spanish/German/Russian when they has two words.
Wallet has limited functionality. It can send & receive coins. So we can
safely rename "Send coins" to "Send" and "Receive coins" to "Receive".
Address book is just stored addresses.
There exists a per-message-processed send buffer overflow protection,
where processing is halted when the send buffer is larger than the
allowed maximum.
This protection does not apply to individual items, however, and
getdata has the potential for causing large amounts of data to be
sent. In case several hundreds of blocks are requested in one getdata,
the send buffer can easily grow 50 megabytes above the send buffer
limit.
This commit breaks up the processing of getdata requests, remembering
them inside a CNode when too many are requested at once.
- this should prevent GUI issues on Mac that were observed before (disappearing
GUI - see #1522)
- the patch ensures, that createTrayIconMenu() is always called on Mac to
process and use our MacDockIconHandler
* Change CNode::vRecvMsg to be a deque instead of a vector (less copying)
* Make sure to acquire cs_vRecvMsg in CNode::CloseSocketDisconnect (as it
may be called without that lock).
1) "optimistic write": Push each message to kernel socket buffer immediately.
2) If there is write data at select time, that implies send() blocked
during optimistic write. Drain write queue, before receiving
any more messages.
This avoids needlessly queueing received data, if the remote peer
is not themselves receiving data.
Result: write buffer (and thus memory usage) is kept small, DoS
potential is slightly lower, and TCP flow control signalling is
properly utilized.
The kernel will queue data into the socket buffer, then signal the
remote peer to stop sending data, until we resume reading again.
Replaces CNode::vRecv buffer with a vector of CNetMessage's. This simplifies
ProcessMessages() and eliminates several redundant data copies.
Overview:
* socket thread now parses incoming message datastream into
header/data components, as encapsulated by CNetMessage
* socket thread adds each CNetMessage to a vector inside CNode
* message thread (ProcessMessages) iterates through CNode's CNetMessage vector
Message parsing is made more strict:
* Socket is disconnected, if message larger than MAX_SIZE
or if CMessageHeader deserialization fails (latter is impossible?).
Previously, code would simply eat garbage data all day long.
* Socket is disconnected, if we fail to find pchMessageStart.
We do not search through garbage, to find pchMessageStart. Each
message must begin precisely after the last message ends.
ProcessMessages() always processes a complete message, and is more efficient:
* buffer is always precisely sized, using CDataStream::resize(),
rather than progressively sized in 64k chunks. More efficient
for large messages like "block".
* whole-buffer memory copy eliminated (vRecv -> vMsg)
* other buffer-shifting memory copies eliminated (vRecv.insert, vRecv.erase)
-dbcache was originally used to set the maximum buffer size in the
BDB environment, and was later changed to set the chainstate cache
and leveldb caches. No need to use it for BDB now that only the
wallet remains there.
This should reduce memory allocation (but not necessarily memory
usage) a bit.
Step for buttons 'up' and 'down' - 0.001. With BTC and mBTC all ok, but
0.001 uBTC is lower than minimal value (satoshi)

This fixes test_bitcoin failures on openbsd reported by dhill on IRC.
On some systems rand() is a simple LCG over 2^31 and so it produces
an even-odd sequence. ApproximateBestSubset was only using the least
significant bit and so every run of the iterative solver would be the
same for some inputs, resulting in some pretty dumb decisions.
Using something other than the least significant bit would paper over
the issue but who knows what other way a system's rand() might get us
here. Instead we use an internal RNG with a period of something like
2^60 which is well behaved. This also makes it possible to make the
selection deterministic for the tests, if we wanted to implement that.
