* Initial devnet
* Move genesis block adding into its own method
* Introduce -allowprivatenet to lift limitation on RFC1918 addresses
Normally, RFC1918 (192.168.x.x/10.x.x.x/...) addresses are not allowed
to be relayed. Also, masternodes won't start when the address is considered
invalid.
This is needed to test local devnet or regtest based networks.
* Lift the requirement of minimum MN age for regtest/devnet
* Implement named devnets
This allows the creation of multiple independent devnets. Each one is
identified by a name which is hardened into a "devnet genesis" block,
which is automatically positioned at height 1. Validation rules will
ensure that a node from devnet=test1 never be able to accept blocks
from devnet=test2. This is done by checking the expected devnet genesis
block.
The genesis block of the devnet is the same as the one from regtest. This
starts the devnet with a very low difficulty, allowing us to fill up
needed balances for masternodes very fast.
Also, the devnet name is put into the sub-version of the VERSION message.
If a node connects to the wrong network, it will immediately be disconnected.
* Allow to select multiple addresses from the same group in devnet/regtest
The selection code normally only allows to select addresses from the same
group (e.g. 192.168.x.x) once. This results in connecting to only a single
node in devnet/regtest.
* Show the devnet name in the title bar and on the loading screen
* Add AllowMultipleAddressesFromGroup to chainparams and use it in net.cpp
* Remove unused/unneeded scripts from devnet geneses creation
1. OP_RETURN not needed in input script of devnet genesis
2. genesisOutputScript was unused
* Fix copy/paste error in -allowprivatenet description
* Improve -devnet parameter error handling
- Only allow one of -devnet, -regtest or -testnet
- Only allow -devnet=name to be specified once
* Use different datadir for each devnet
* Fix `devnet-devnet` issue
* Fix devnet splashscreen (should use testnet img)
* Avoid passing devNetName around (most of the time)
* Remove nMaxTipAge from CDevNetParams
Not present anymore after rebase on develop
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.
- ensures a consistent usage in header files
- also add a blank line after the copyright header where missing
- also remove orphan new-lines at the end of some files
Add a function `AreBaseParamsConfigured` and use this to check
before writing to the debug log. This avoids assertions when the
application happens to log too early, which happens in the GUI.
Messages logged before the base parameters are configured can be
shown using `-printtoconsole`.
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.
