- rename URL into URI in paymentserver where correct
- add some missing Qt-coding-stuff in paymentserver
- change QSpinBox to QLineEdit as base for BitcoinAmountField in .ui files
(as this is the result when converting the BAF back into base)
- remove some c_str() and replace with QString::fromStdString()
- remove several new-lines
- remove unneeded spaces
- indentation fixes
This also makes negative transaction versions non-standard.
This avoids an issue triggered in block 256818 where transactions with
negative version numbers were incorrectly serialized into the UTXO set.
On restart nodes detect the inconsistency and refuse to start so long as
a block with these transactions is inside the self-consistency check
window, logging "coin database inconsistencies found". The software
recommends reindexing, but reindexing does not correct the problem.
This should be fixed by changing the chainstate serialization, but
working around it seems harmless for now because the version is not
used by any network rule currently.
A patch free workaround is to start with -checklevel=2 which skips
the consistency checks, but the IsStandard change is important for
miners in order to protect unpatched nodes.
I've seen users confused multiple times thinking they
should be using -tor to set their tor proxy and then
finding in horror that they were still connecting to
the IPv4 internet.
Even Jeff guesses wrong about what the knob does, so
I think we should rename it. This leaves the old
knob working, we can pull it out completely in a
later release.
- prepend "Bitcoin-Qt" in front of debug.log entries, which come from Qt
- move DebugMessageHandler installation upwards to the event handler
installation, which fits much better
Correctly use the purpose of addresses that are added after the start
of the client. Addresses with purpose "refund" and "change" should not
be visible in the GUI. This is now handled correctly.
- extend PaymentServer with setOptionsModel() and rework initNetManager()
to make use of that
- fix all other places in the code to use display unit from options and no
hard-coded unit
There have been several incidents where mainnet experimentation with
raw transactions resulted in insane fees. This is hard to prevent
in the raw transaction api because the inputs may not be known.
Since sending doesn't work if the inputs aren't known, we can catch
it there.
This rejects fees > than 10000 * nMinRelayTxFee or 1 BTC with the
defaults and can be overridden with a bool at the rpc.
We're not seeing large reorgs that would justify waiting a large
amount past the rule required maturity, and the extra three
hours is just a nuisance. Take one more block to at least give
the 100th block time to propagate.
