37886d5e2 Disconnect outbound peers relaying invalid headers (Suhas Daftuar)
4637f1852 moveonly: factor out headers processing into separate function (Suhas Daftuar)

Pull request description:

  Alternate to #11446.

  Disconnect outbound (non-manual) peers that serve us block headers that are already known to be invalid, but exempt compact block announcements from such disconnects.

  We restrict disconnection to outbound peers that are using up an outbound connection slot, because we rely on those peers to give us connectivity to the honest network (our inbound peers are not chosen by us and hence could all be from an attacker/sybil).  Maintaining connectivity to peers that serve us invalid headers is sometimes desirable, eg after a soft-fork, to protect unupgraded software from being partitioned off the honest network, so we prefer to only disconnect when necessary.

  Compact block announcements are exempted from this logic to comply with BIP 152, which explicitly permits nodes to relay compact blocks before fully validating them.

What is Dash?

Dash is an experimental digital currency that enables anonymous, instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Dash uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Dash Core is the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Dash Core software, see https://www.dash.org/get-dash/.

License

Dash Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches. Tags are created to indicate new official, stable release versions of Dash Core.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python, that are run automatically on the build server. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and OS X, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Dash Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.

Translators should also follow the forum.
