The 10 minute one will never trigger for 0 blocks, as it's still
fairly likely to happen even without the actual hash rate changing
much, so we add a 20 minute window, where it will (for 0 blocks)
and a one hour window.
This will trigger if a reorg is seen. This may be used to do things
like stop automated withdrawals on large reorgs.
%s is replaced by the height at the split point
%h is replaced by the height of the new chain
%n is replaced by the number of new blocks after the reorg
This curbs runaway growth while still allowing substantial
spikes in block weight
Original specification from ArticMine:
here is the scaling proposal
Define: LongTermBlockWeight
Before fork:
LongTermBlockWeight = BlockWeight
At or after fork:
LongTermBlockWeight = min(BlockWeight, 1.4*LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight)
Note: To avoid possible consensus issues over rounding the LongTermBlockWeight for a given block should be calculated to the nearest byte, and stored as a integer in the block itself. The stored LongTermBlockWeight is then used for future calculations of the LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight and not recalculated each time.
Define: LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight
LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight = max(300000, MedianOverPrevious100000Blocks(LongTermBlockWeight))
Change Definition of EffectiveMedianBlockWeight
From (current definition)
EffectiveMedianBlockWeight = max(300000, MedianOverPrevious100Blocks(BlockWeight))
To (proposed definition)
EffectiveMedianBlockWeight = min(max(300000, MedianOverPrevious100Blocks(BlockWeight)), 50*LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight)
Notes:
1) There are no other changes to the existing penalty formula, median calculation, fees etc.
2) There is the requirement to store the LongTermBlockWeight of a block unencrypted in the block itself. This is to avoid possible consensus issues over rounding and also to prevent the calculations from becoming unwieldy as we move away from the fork.
3) When the EffectiveMedianBlockWeight cap is reached it is still possible to mine blocks up to 2x the EffectiveMedianBlockWeight by paying the corresponding penalty.
Those take a command line of the form "A [B]", with A being the
name (and optional path, if not in the caller's CWD, but fully
qualified path is recommended, avoids possible security issues)
to a program, and optional arguments. Any occurence of the two
character string "%s" will be replaced by the hash of the block
or transaction which triggered the notification.
Tokenization is barebones. If you want things like pipes, calls
to paths with spaces, etc, then use a script (though exec time
will suffer).
block-notify is called when a new block is added onto the chain.
tx-notify is called when a new transaction happens with the
wallet as source and/or destination.
It is the notification program's responsibility to determine what
to do in those cases.
Note that this is asynchronous, so it is very possible that:
- the notification programs will be run out of order
- several events happen before the notification for the first one
A Windows port would be nice if someone wants to make one.
