* Fix duplicate headers download in initial sync
Now that initial block download is delayed until the headers sync is done,
it was noticed that the initial headers sync may happen multiple times in
parallel in the case new blocks are announced. This happens because for
every block in INV that is received, a getheaders message is immediately
sent out resulting in a full download of the headers chain starting from
the point of where the initial headers sync is currently at. This happens
once for each peer that announces the new block. This slows down the
initial headers sync and increases the chance of another block being
announced before it is finished, probably leading to the same behavior
as already described, slowing down the sync even more...and so on.
This commit delays sending of GETHEADERS to later in case the chain is too
far behind while a new block gets announced. Header chains will still be
downloaded multiple times, but the downloading will start much closer
to the tip of the chain, so the damage is not that bad anymore.
This ensures that we get all headers from all peers, even if any of them
is on another chain. This should avoid what happened in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8054
which needed to be reverted later.
This fixes the Bitcoin issue https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6755
* Introduce DelayGetHeadersTime chain param and fix tests
The delaying of GETHEADERS in combination with very old block times in
test cases resulted in the delaying being triggered when the first newly
mined block arrives. This results in a completely stalled sync.
This is fixed by avoiding delaying in when running tests.
* Disconnect peers which are not catched up
Peers which stop sending us headers too early are very likely peers which
did not catch up before and stalled for some reason. We should disconnect
these peers and chose another one to continue.
* HD wallet
Minimal set of changes (no refactoring) backported from Bitcoin upstream to make HD wallets work in Dash 0.12.1.x+
* minimal bip44 (hardcoded account and change)
* minimal bip39
Additional cmd-line options for new wallet:
-mnemonic
-mnemonicpassphrase
* Do not recreate HD wallet on encryption
Adjusted keypool.py test
* Do not store any private keys for hd wallet besides the master one
Derive all keys on the fly.
Original idea/implementation - btc PR9298, backported and improved
* actually use bip39
* pbkdf2 test
* backport wallet-hd.py test
* Allow specifying hd seed, add dumphdseed rpc, fix bugs
- -hdseed cmd-line param to specify HD seed on wallet creation
- dumphdseed rpc to dump HD seed
- allow seed of any size
- fix dumpwallet rpc bug (wasn't decrypting HD seed)
- print HD seed and extended public masterkey on dumpwallet
* top up keypool on HD wallet encryption
* split HD chain: external/internal
* add missing cs_wallet lock in init.cpp
* fix `const char *` issues (use strings)
* default mnemonic passphrase is an empty string in all cases
* store mnemonic/mnemonicpassphrase
replace dumphdseed with dumphdinfo
* Add fCrypted flag to CHDChain
* prepare internal structures for multiple HD accounts
(plus some code cleanup)
* use secure allocator for storing sensitive HD data
* use secure strings for mnemonic(passphrase)
* small fix in GenerateNewHDChain
* use 24 words for mnemonic by default
* make sure mnemonic passphrase provided by user does not exceed 256 symbols
* more usage of secure allocators and memory_cleanse
* code cleanup
* rename: CSecureVector -> SecureVector
* add missing include
* fix warning in rpcdump.cpp
* refactor mnemonic_check (also fix a bug)
* move bip39 functions to CMnemonic
* Few fixes for CMnemonic:
- use `SecureVector` for data, bits, seed
- `Check` should return bool
* init vectors with desired size where possible
42bdf42 Refactor/fix spork:
- move ProcessSpork, GetSporkValue, IsSporkActive, ExecuteSpork and mapSporksActive to CSporkManager
- move Sign, CheckSignature, Relay to CSporkMessage
- move ReprocessBlocks out of sporks to main.cpp / rename DisconnectBlocksAndReprocess to DisconnectBlocks
- rename SporkKey to SporkPubKey
- bugfix: only set strMasterPrivKey if spork signature produced by that key was verified successfully
- few log format changes, cleaned up includes
- use "" account address instead
- remove `collateralPubKey` and `SetCollateralAddress()` from darksend and create `dummyScriptPubkey` and `InitDummyScriptPubkey()` in masternodeman instead
- initialize `dummyScriptPubkey` before loading cache otherwise MNs could be removed because of the invalid tx
get rid of most `if(Params().NetworkIDString() == CBaseChainParams::MAIN)` and alike to unify formulas.
Further improvements will require testnet restart (see TODO notes in changed code) so I'm keeping few things as they are till then.
I've never liked the chain-specific exception to having to set a
password. It gives issues with #6388 which makes it valid to
set no password in every case (as it enables random cookie authentication).
This pull removes the flag, so that all chains are regarded the same.
It also removes the username==password test, which doesn't provide any
substantial extra security.
No longer relevant after #5957. This hack existed because of another
hack where the numthreads parameter, on regtest, doubled as how many
blocks to generate.

This adds a -prune=N option to bitcoind, which if set to N>0 will enable block
file pruning. When pruning is enabled, block and undo files will be deleted to
try to keep total space used by those files to below the prune target (N, in
MB) specified by the user, subject to some constraints:
- The last 288 blocks on the main chain are always kept (MIN_BLOCKS_TO_KEEP),
- N must be at least 550MB (chosen as a value for the target that could
reasonably be met, with some assumptions about block sizes, orphan rates,
etc; see comment in main.h),
- No blocks are pruned until chainActive is at least 100,000 blocks long (on
mainnet; defined separately for mainnet, testnet, and regtest in chainparams
as nPruneAfterHeight).
This unsets NODE_NETWORK if pruning is enabled.
Also included is an RPC test for pruning (pruning.py).
Thanks to @rdponticelli for earlier work on this feature; this is based in
part off that work.
This adds a -checkblockindex (defaulting to true for regtest), which occasionally
does a full consistency check for mapBlockIndex, setBlockIndexCandidates, chainActive, and
mapBlocksUnlinked.

UNITTEST parameter are not used by any current tests, and the model
(modifyable parameters) is inconvenient when unit-testing. As
they are stored in a global structure eevery test
would have to (re)set up its own parameters.
For consistency it is also better to test with MAIN parameters.
