- `/getblocks.bin` respects the `RESTRICTED_TX_COUNT` (=100) when
returning pool txs via a restricted RPC daemon.
- A restricted RPC daemon includes a max of `RESTRICTED_TX_COUNT` txs
in the `added_pool_txs` field, and returns any remaining pool hashes
in the `remaining_added_pool_txids` field. The client then requests
the remaining txs via `/gettransactions` in chunks.
- `/gettransactions` no longer does expensive no-ops for ALL pool txs
if the client requests a subset of pool txs. Instead it searches for
the txs the client explicitly requests.
- Reset `m_pool_info_query_time` when a user:
(1) rescans the chain (so the wallet re-requests the whole pool)
(2) changes the daemon their wallets points to (a new daemon would
have a different view of the pool)
- `/getblocks.bin` respects the `req.prune` field when returning
pool txs.
- Pool extension fields in response to `/getblocks.bin` are optional
with default 0'd values.
update_checkpoints() makes a few DNS requests and can take up to 20-30 seconds to complete (3-6 seconds on average). It is currently called from core::handle_incoming_block() which holds m_incoming_tx_lock, so it blocks all incoming transactions and blocks processing while update_checkpoints() is running. This PR moves it to until after a new block has been processed and relayed, to avoid full monerod locking.
Implements view tags as proposed by @UkoeHB in MRL issue
https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/73
At tx construction, the sender adds a 1-byte view tag to each
output. The view tag is derived from the sender-receiver
shared secret. When scanning for outputs, the receiver can
check the view tag for a match, in order to reduce scanning
time. When the view tag does not match, the wallet avoids the
more expensive EC operations when deriving the output public
key using the shared secret.
Adds the following:
- "get_miner_data" to RPC API
- "json-miner-data" to ZeroMQ subscriber contexts
Both provide the necessary data to create a custom block template. They are used by p2pool.
Data provided:
- major fork version
- current height
- previous block id
- RandomX seed hash
- network difficulty
- median block weight
- coins mined by the network so far
- mineable mempool transactions
d20ff4f64 functional_tests: add a large (many randomx epochs) p2p reorg test (moneromooo-monero)
6a0b3b1f8 functional_tests: add randomx tests (moneromooo-monero)
9d42649d5 core: fix mining from a block that's not the current top (moneromooo-monero)
On startup, it checks against the difficulty checkpoints, and if any mismatch is found, recalculates all the blocks with wrong difficulties. Additionally, once a week it recalculates difficulties of blocks after the last difficulty checkpoint.
