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.
Note: the long term block weight is stored in the database, but not in the actual block itself,
since it requires recalculating anyway for verification.
When all our outgoing peer slots are filled, we cycle one peer at
a time looking for syncing peers until we have at least two such
peers. This brings two advantages:
- Peers without incoming connections will find more syncing peers
that before, thereby strengthening network decentralization
- Peers will have more resistance to isolation attacks, as they
are more likely to find a "good" peer than they were before
NetBSD emits:
warning: Warning: reference to the libc supplied alloca(3); this most likely will not work. Please use the compiler provided version of alloca(3), by supplying the appropriate compiler flags (e.g. not -std=c89).
and man 3 alloca says:
Normally, gcc(1) translates calls to alloca() with inlined code. This is not done when either the -ansi, -std=c89, -std=c99, or the
-std=c11 option is given and the header <alloca.h> is not included. Otherwise, (without an -ansi or -std=c* option) the glibc version of
<stdlib.h> includes <alloca.h> and that contains the lines:
#ifdef __GNUC__
#define alloca(size) __builtin_alloca (size)
#endif
It looks like alloca is a bad idea in modern C/C++, so we use
VLAs for C and std::vector for C++.
Building with docker is arguably easier and more familiar to most people
than either kvm, or lxc.
This commit also relaxes the back compat requirement a bit. 32 bit linux
now uses glibc version 2.0. Also, the docker shell could not handle gcc arguments
containing spaces, so the explicit '-DFELT_TYPE' declaration was dropped.
Lastly, this removes some packages from the osx descriptor.

The change made for v2 broke v1, and we have no way to know which
version we're serializing here. However, since we don't actually
care about space savings in this case, we continue serialiazing
both mask and amount.
RPC connections now have optional tranparent SSL.
An optional private key and certificate file can be passed,
using the --{rpc,daemon}-ssl-private-key and
--{rpc,daemon}-ssl-certificate options. Those have as
argument a path to a PEM format private private key and
certificate, respectively.
If not given, a temporary self signed certificate will be used.
SSL can be enabled or disabled using --{rpc}-ssl, which
accepts autodetect (default), disabled or enabled.
Access can be restricted to particular certificates using the
--rpc-ssl-allowed-certificates, which takes a list of
paths to PEM encoded certificates. This can allow a wallet to
connect to only the daemon they think they're connected to,
by forcing SSL and listing the paths to the known good
certificates.
To generate long term certificates:
openssl genrsa -out /tmp/KEY 4096
openssl req -new -key /tmp/KEY -out /tmp/REQ
openssl x509 -req -days 999999 -sha256 -in /tmp/REQ -signkey /tmp/KEY -out /tmp/CERT
/tmp/KEY is the private key, and /tmp/CERT is the certificate,
both in PEM format. /tmp/REQ can be removed. Adjust the last
command to set expiration date, etc, as needed. It doesn't
make a whole lot of sense for monero anyway, since most servers
will run with one time temporary self signed certificates anyway.
SSL support is transparent, so all communication is done on the
existing ports, with SSL autodetection. This means you can start
using an SSL daemon now, but you should not enforce SSL yet or
nothing will talk to you.
According to [1], the ios_base::streampos member type is deprecated, and
removed in C++17. This type was an alias for pos_type, which this commit
uses instead.

- Support for broadcasting transactions received over RPC exclusively
over Tor (else broadcast over public IP when Tor not enabled).

The blockchain prunes seven eighths of prunable tx data.
This saves about two thirds of the blockchain size, while
keeping the node useful as a sync source for an eighth
of the blockchain.
No other data is currently pruned.
There are three ways to prune a blockchain:
- run monerod with --prune-blockchain
- run "prune_blockchain" in the monerod console
- run the monero-blockchain-prune utility
The first two will prune in place. Due to how LMDB works, this
will not reduce the blockchain size on disk. Instead, it will
mark parts of the file as free, so that future data will use
that free space, causing the file to not grow until free space
grows scarce.
The third way will create a second database, a pruned copy of
the original one. Since this is a new file, this one will be
smaller than the original one.
Once the database is pruned, it will stay pruned as it syncs.
That is, there is no need to use --prune-blockchain again, etc.

Half of the patch was correct, but half was introducing another bug,
where a wallet asking for a fork that the daemon does not know about
yet would decide to use those rules.
(1) If the user denies something on the Ledger,
a proper error message is now shown.
(2) Ledger doesn't time out anymore while waiting
on user input.
(3) Lower the timeout to 2 seconds, this is enough for
normal Ledger <-> System communication.
This avoids the constant message about needed to run refresh
to enter a password.
Also mention the txpool when asking for the password if the
reason is a pool tx.
get_output_key method is commonly used when working with txs and their key images. Because the method is not const, passing blockchain object though const& or pointers to const is not possible in this context. This is especially problematic in external projects (e.g., projects in moneroexamples) that use monero C++ api to operate on the blockchain and txs.
Thus, having get_output_key method will simplify moving blockchain object around through const references and pointers to const objects.

While the lookups are faster, the zeroCommit calls have to be
done again when storing the new outputs in the db, which ends
up making the whole thing slower after all, and the ways this
can be cached aren't very nice code wise, so let's forget it
since the gains aren't very large anyway.
Help messages describe the commands usage. When users run the command
with wrong arguments, it usually helpfully offers the usage, too.
Unfortunately, these two usage messages were duplicated in the code and
started to get out of sync.
Fixing with constant strings.

When doing a first refresh on HW-token based wallet KI sync is required if money were received. Received money may indicate wallet was already used before the restore I.e., some transaction could have been already sent from the wallet. The spent UTXO would not be detected as spent which could lead to double spending errors on submitting a new transaction.
Thus if the wallet is HW-token based with the cold signing protocol and the first refresh detected received money the user is asked to perform the key image sync.
- adds a new option `--hw-device-deriv-path` to the simple wallet. Enables to specify wallet derivation path / wallet code (path avoided so it can be misinterpreted as a file path).
- devices can use different derivation mechanisms. Trezor uses standard SLIP-10 mechanism with fixed SLIP-44 prefix for Monero
- Trezor: when empty, the default derivation mechanism is used with 44'/128'/0'. When entered the derivation path is 44'/128'/PATH.
- Trezor: the path is always taken as elements are hardened (1<<31 bit turned on)
