The wallet now uses the mempool fee estimator with a new
command-line option: -txconfirmtarget (default: 1) instead
of using hard-coded fees or priorities.
A new bitcoind that hasn't seen enough transactions to estimate
will fall back to the old hard-coded minimum priority or
transaction fee.
-paytxfee option overrides -txconfirmtarget.
Relaying and mining code isn't changed.
For Qt, the coin control dialog now uses priority estimates to
label transaction priority (instead of hard-coded constants);
unspent outputs were consistently labeled with a much higher
priority than is justified by the free transactions actually
being accepted into blocks.
I did not implement any GUI for setting -txconfirmtarget; I would
suggest getting rid of the "Pay transaction fee" GUI and replace
it with either "target number of confirmations" or maybe
a "faster confirmation <--> lower fee" slider or select box.
This changes the keystore data format, wallet format and IsMine logic
to detect watch-only outputs based on direct script matching rather
than first trying to convert outputs to destinations (addresses).
The reason is that we don't know how the software that has the spending
keys works. It may support the same types of scripts as us, but that is
not guaranteed. Furthermore, it removes the ambiguity between addresses
used as identifiers for output scripts or identifiers for public keys.
One practical implication is that adding a normal pay-to-pubkey-hash
address via importaddress will not cause payments to the corresponding
full public key to be detected as IsMine. If that is wanted, add those
scripts directly (importaddress now also accepts any hex-encoded script).

Changes:
* Add Add/Have WatchOnly methods to CKeyStore, and implementations
in CBasicKeyStore.
* Add similar methods to CWallet, and support entries for it in
CWalletDB.
* Make IsMine in script/wallet return a new enum 'isminetype',
rather than a boolean. This allows distinguishing between
spendable and unspendable coins.
* Add a field fSpendable to COutput (GetAvailableCoins' return type).
* Mark watchonly coins in listunspent as 'watchonly': true.
* Add 'watchonly' to validateaddress, suppressing script/pubkey/...
in this case.

After pull #4288, RPC messages indicating errors have a Content-Length unrelated
to their actual contents, rendering bitcoin-cli and curl unable to decode the
reply.
This patch sets the Content-Length field based on the actual content returned.
Additionally, pull #4288 clobbered the error descriptions provided in
ErrorReply, which bitcoin-cli relies upon; this patch moves #4288 http-error
descriptions to an HTTPError method, allowing HTTPReply to pass content on
unchanged.
The original comment forgets to account for the script push which will
need an OP_PUSHDATA2 + 2-bytes for the 513 script bytes.

fixes#4224
-respendnotify=<cmd> Execute command when a network tx respends wallet
tx input (%s=respend TxID, %t=wallet TxID)
Add respendsobserved array to gettransaction, listtransactions, and
listsinceblock RPCs. This omits the malleated clones that are included
in the walletconflicts array.
Add RPC help for respendsobserved and walletconflicts (help was missing
for the latter).
Respend transactions that conflict with transactions already in the
wallet are added to it. They are not displayed unless they also involve
the wallet, or get into a block. If they do not involve the wallet,
they continue not to affect balance.
Transactions that involve the wallet, and have conflicting non-equivalent
transactions, are highlighted in red. When the conflict first occurs, a
modal dialog is thrown.
CWallet::SyncMetaData is changed to sync only to equivalent transactions.
When a conflict is added to the wallet, counter nConflictsReceived is
incremented. This acts like a change in active block height for the
purpose of triggering UI updates.
Allows network wallets and other clients to see transactions that respend
a prevout already spent in an unconfirmed transaction in this node's mempool.
Knowledge of an attempted double-spend is of interest to recipients of the
first spend. In some cases, it will allow these recipients to withhold
goods or services upon being alerted of a double-spend that deprives them
of payment.
As before, respends are not added to the mempool.
Anti-Denial-of-Service-Attack provisions:
- Use a bloom filter to relay only one respend per mempool prevout
- Rate-limit respend relays to a default of 100 thousand bytes/minute
- Define tx2.IsEquivalentTo(tx1): equality when scriptSigs are not considered
- Do not relay these equivalent transactions
Remove an unused variable declaration in txmempool.cpp.

c912e22 RPC cleanup: Improve HTTP server replies (Jeff Garzik)

4) move AcceptedConnection class to header, for wider use
By default, all command line parameters are converted into JSON string
values. There is no need to manually specify the incoming type.
A binary decision "parse as string or JSON?" is all that's necessary.
Convert to a simple class, initialized at runtime startup, which offers
a quick lookup to answer "parse as JSON?" conversion question.
Future parameter conversions need only to indicate the method name
and zero-based index of the parameter needing JSON parsing.
In the LookupIntern(), things changed are:
1. Call getaddrinfo_a() instead of getaddrinfo() if available, the former is a sync version of the latter;
2. Try using inet_pton()/inet_addr() to convert the input text to a network addr structure at first, if success the extra name resolving thread inside getaddrinfo_a() could be avoided;
3. An interruption point added in the waiting loop for return from getaddrinfo_a(), which completes the improve for thread responsiveness.
A easy way to see the effect is to kick off a 'bitcoind stop' immediately after 'bitcoind -daemon', before the change it would take several, or even tens of, minutes on a bad network situation to wait for the running bitcoind to exit, now it costs only seconds.

Currently we use a fixed buffer of 250000 bytes to request
HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA. In many cases this is not enough, causing the
entropy collection to be skipped.
Use a loop that grows the buffer as specified in the RegQueryValueEx
documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724911%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
(as the size of the performance data can differ for every call, the
normal solution of requesting the size then allocating that can't work)

Two changes:
First removes a unit test that fails in my development environment
(OSX, compiled -g3 with clang).
sipa says that's not terribly surprising; the CMutableTransaction change
makes signing a little more expensive but verification quicker. The unit
test timed sign+verify-uncached versus verify-cached-five-times.
He also says the test will be invalid when libsec256kp1 is integrated
(because validation is super-optimized over signing).
core.h change fixes a compiler warning (clang -Wall : CMutableTransaction defined
as struct, declared as class in script.h).
- New status bar control shows the current Unit of Display.
When clicked (left,or right button) it shows a context menu
that allows the user to switch the current Unit of Display (BTC, mBTC, uBTC)
- Recent Requests and Transaction Table headers are now updated when
unit of display is changed, because their "Amount" column now displays the
current unit of display.
- Takes care of issue #3970 Units in transaction export csv file.
- Small refactors for reusability.
- Demo Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwcr0Yh68go&list=UUG3jF2hgofmLWP0tRPisQAQ
- changes after Diapolo's feedback. Have not been able to build after last pool, issues with boost on MacOSX, will test on Ubuntu these changes.
- removed return statement on switch
- renamed onDisplayUnitsChanged(int) to updateDisplayUnit(int)
- now getAmountColumnTitle(int unit) takes a simple unit parameter. moved to BitcoinUnits.
This commit removes all the unnecessary dependencies (key, core,
netbase, sync, ...) from bitcoin-cli.
To do this it shards the chain parameters into BaseParams, which
contains just the RPC port and data directory (as used by utils and
bitcoin-cli) and Params, with the rest.
Relax the AreInputsStandard() tests for P2SH transactions --
allow any Script in a P2SH transaction to be relayed/mined,
as long as it has 15 or fewer signature operations.
Rationale: https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/88be40c141bc67acb247
I don't have an easy way to test this, but the code changes are
straightforward and I've updated the AreInputsStandard unit tests.
bitcoin-config.h moved, but the old file is likely to still exist when
reconfiguring or switching branches. This would've caused files to not rebuild
correctly, and other strange problems.
Make the path explicit so that the old one cannot be found.
Core libs use config/bitcoin-config.h.
Libs (like crypto) which don't want access to bitcoin's headers continue
to use -Iconfig and #include bitcoin-config.h.
`&vch[vch.size()]` and even `&vch[0]` on vectors can cause assertion
errors with VC in debug mode. This is the problem mentioned in #4239.
The deeper problem with this is that we rely on undefined behavior.
- Add `begin_ptr` and `end_ptr` functions that get the beginning and end
pointer of vector in a reliable way that copes with empty vectors and
doesn't reference outside the vector
(see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1339470/how-to-get-the-address-of-the-stdvector-buffer-start-most-elegantly/1339767#1339767).
- Add a convenience constructor to CFlatData that wraps a vector.
I added `begin_ptr` and `end_ptr` as separate functions as I imagine
they will be useful in more places.

Fixes#4352.
As it says on the tin. It was deprecated in version 0.9, and
at some point it should be removed.
Removes the dependency of bitcoind on libbitcoin-cli.a. Move
some functions that used to be shared but are now only used in
bitcoin-cli.cpp to that file.
After this change, an error is printed (and exit code 1 is returned)
when the user tries to send RPC commands using bitcoind.

of the program for bitcoind, bitcoin-cli and bitcoin-qt.
Also make it that `-help` can be used to display the help (as well as
existing `--help`). Up to now, `-help` was the only option that didn't
work with either one or two dashes.
- remove an unneded else in ConnectNode()
- make 0 a double and change to 0.0 in ConnectNode()
- rename strDest to pszDest in OpenNetworkConnection()
- remove an unneded call to our REF() macro in BindListenPort()
- small style cleanups and removal of unneeded new-lines
- add DEFAULT_LISTEN in net.h and use in the code (shared
setting between core and GUI)
Important: This makes it obvious, that we need to re-think the
settings/options handling, as GUI settings are processed before
any parameter-interaction (which is mostly important for network
stuff) in AppInit2()!
The rcc tool is quirky and only honors files in the same directory as the qrc.
When doing an out-of-tree build (as 'make distcheck' does), the generated
translation files end up in a different path, so rcc can't find them.
Split them up so that rcc is run twice: once for static source files and once
for generated files.

New RPC methods: return an estimate of the fee (or priority) a
transaction needs to be likely to confirm in a given number of
blocks.
Mike Hearn created the first version of this method for estimating fees.
It works as follows:
For transactions that took 1 to N (I picked N=25) blocks to confirm,
keep N buckets with at most 100 entries in each recording the
fees-per-kilobyte paid by those transactions.
(separate buckets are kept for transactions that confirmed because
they are high-priority)
The buckets are filled as blocks are found, and are saved/restored
in a new fee_estiamtes.dat file in the data directory.
A few variations on Mike's initial scheme:
To estimate the fee needed for a transaction to confirm in X buckets,
all of the samples in all of the buckets are used and a median of
all of the data is used to make the estimate. For example, imagine
25 buckets each containing the full 100 entries. Those 2,500 samples
are sorted, and the estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the very
next block is the 50'th-highest-fee-entry in that sorted list; the
estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the next two blocks is the
150'th-highest-fee-entry, etc.
That algorithm has the nice property that estimates of how much fee
you need to pay to get confirmed in block N will always be greater
than or equal to the estimate for block N+1. It would clearly be wrong
to say "pay 11 uBTC and you'll get confirmed in 3 blocks, but pay
12 uBTC and it will take LONGER".
A single block will not contribute more than 10 entries to any one
bucket, so a single miner and a large block cannot overwhelm
the estimates.
Use CFeeRate instead of an int64_t for quantities that are
fee-per-size.
Helps prevent unit-conversion mismatches between the wallet,
relaying, and mining code.
Now that the build is non-recursive, adding to AM_CPPFLAGS means adding to
_all_ cppflags.
Logical groups of includes have been added instead, and are used individually
by various targets.
- Some file generation was still noisy, silence it.
- AM_V_GEN is used rather than @ so that 'make V=1' works as intended
- Cut down on file copies and moves when using sed, use pipes instead
- Avoid the use of top_ and abs_ dirs where possible
Build logic moves from individual Makefile.am's to include files, which
the main src/Makefile.am includes. This avoids having to manage a gigantic
single Makefile.
TODO: Move the rules from the old Makefile.include to where they actually
belong and nuke the old file.
Should be merged after pull request #4281
("Add `-version` option to get just the version #4281"),
because is changed "--help" to "-help".
Checked that grep of 'mapArgs.count("--' returned only
three places that are fixed by pull request #4281.
Previously if bitcoind is linked with an OpenSSL which is compiled
without EC support, this is seen as an assertion failure "pKey !=
NULL" at key.cpp:134, which occurs after several seconds. It is an
esoteric piece of knowledge to interpret this as "oops, I linked
with the wrong OpenSSL", and because of the delay it may not even
be noticed.
The new output is
: OpenSSL appears to lack support for elliptic curve cryptography. For
more information, visit
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/OpenSSL_and_EC_Libraries
: Initialization sanity check failed. Bitcoin Core is shutting down.
which occurs immediately after attempted startup.
This also blocks in an InitSanityCheck() function which currently only
checks for EC support but should eventually do more. See #4081.
