Renamed mining parameter mode to chain type, with existing types
of CI testing, user testing, testnet1 or mainnet. The public
chains (testnet1 and mainnet) come with their fully pre-defined
genesis block.
Still need to set the nonce and cycle for testnet1 genesis.
Moved the HTTP APIs away from the REST endpoint abstraction and
to simpler Hyper handlers. Re-established all routes as v1.
Changed wallet receiver port to 13415 to avoid a gap in port
numbers.
Finally, rustfmt seems to have ignored specific files arguments,
running on everything.
* mount v2 router for flexibility, wallet checker now refreshes multiple outputs via single api call
* fix the api router
* wallet api handlers, miner uses wallet_client
* retry logic via tokio_retry, miner creates new coinbase output via wallet API (retries several times)
* move wallet client into wallet crateand rework the lock acquisition logic to use tokio_retry
* Fix for the chain pipeline partly relying on an outdated head,
leading to not properly recognizing a fork and inconsistent sum
tree state.
* Do not drop block requests during sync that don't get satisfied,
retry enough time to get them and avoid stall.
* Always validate header, even in sync where we may have validated
it already. We don't want a block coming from a peer that could
squeeze through with an invalid header.
* When syncing, do not mark blocks that were errored by the chain
as received (typical case: orphan). Keep retrying.
* Improved chain state dump for debugging.
* Do not add to orphans blocks too far in the future.
* Better error reporting on db errors.
* Related sync test fixes.
TODO figure out why syncing peers timeout so often, very useful
to test but not that great for a fast sync experience.
Configuration for a minum accept fee base for the transaction
pool. The base is multipled by a weight computed from the
transaction number of inputs, outputs and kernels. The transaction
fee is required to always be larger than the weight times the
base.
min_fee = base * (-1*input_len + 4*output_len + kernel_len)
The weight is set to never be less than one.
Also added a configurable (and fairly naive for now) max pool
capacity in number of transactions.
* Adding output stats from plugin, when available
* adding grin config
* moving pow crate from core/pow to it's own crate
* moving POW/mining stuff into pow module, and removing mining dependency from chain
* refactored most of mining into pow module...miner.rs still in server
* update grin tests
* updating genesis block mining to use configured miner, if available
* chain tests back into chain, done with pow refactor
* use tag of cuckoo-miner for pr
* minor cleanup - unused imports
* cleanup build warnings - unused vars
* make structs pub to get rid of the private_in_public lint warning
* missing docs on RangeProof
* add missing docs to store delete function
* cleaned up deprecation warning -
tokio_core -> tokio_io
complete() -> send()
* playing around with changing cuckoo sizes on the fly
* modifying tests to use global cuckoo parameters, and checking results
* check for pow size
* Changing global function names, and removing length from POW serialization
* Adding ability to serialise parts of the header, pre-nonce and post-nonce
* Some test integration of queueing functions in cuckoo-miner
* more cuckoo-miner async mode integration, now more or less working
* integrating async miner workflow
* rocksdb update
* u64 internal difficulty representation, and integration of latest Cuckoo-miner API
* change to cuckoo-miner notify function
* Issue in testing, and if use_async value is None in grin.toml
* making async mode explicit in tests - 2
* fiddle with port numbers for CI
* update tag to ensure cuckoo-miner build doesn't fail on windows
* change the order in which tests are run
* Adding cuckoo-miner into grin as a proper dependency now
* Defaulting to using cuckoo-miner
* Updates to tests to use cuckoo_miner by default, (using cuckoo16)
* addition of configuration file to grin executable, instructions on how it's picked up are in grin.toml
* Starting to add a configuration file, and change some elements of configuration structures to make them more consistent
* Refactoring to allow for different miner implementations. Added conditional support for compiling and loading the cuckoo-miner plugin project.
* Small changes to experimentally integrate with cuckoo-miner and compatibility with latest version of cuckoo-miner.
* Turning off inclusion of cuckoo_miner by default
* Disabling simulate_parallel_mining test for now
* Beginning to add a POW description, and some minor changes to mining testing, addition of further debug information to mining output.
* Many additions to create first draft of POW documentation
* Fixes to difficult adjustments by adding a MINIMUM_DIFFICULTY consensus value. Otherwise never adjusted above 1 due to flooring.
* Starting to refactor test, adding http post to wallet sender
* Implemented ability to run servers on different ports (mostly for testing), and implemented ability to post http requests directly to receiving wallets
* Adding detailed instructions on running multiple servers on the same machine
* Changes to build.doc to outline server running process
* Removed unwanted debug statements
* WIP Local server testing framework evolution
* More refactoring of server pool, checked in because there's a problem
* Added server reference structure, and ability to return server references from tests cleanly
* Added simulate_parallel_mining test, which puts some artificial slowdown into test mining loops, and the difficulty can currently be watched in the log
* Removing the ServerRef structure placed in earlier and replaced with a ServerStats structure, that just returns relevant info about the Server state without exposing it to the world
Integrate the new difficulty calculation into the block chain
validation, the miner and tests. As the difficulty calculation
doesn't use varying Cuckoo sizes anymore and we narrowed down
reasonable final Cuckoo Cycle parameters, removed all Cuckoo
Cycle sizes from block headers.
Formalized easier Cuckoo Cycle sizes for testing (and possibly
testnet) by introducing a test mode in configuration. Updated
all tests.
With the coinbase receiver daemon in place, when starting a Grin
server in mining mode, the miner will now ask the receiver for a
coinbase output. The output is then used to insert in a block when
successfully mined.
Moved error and configuration types from server.rs to types.rs
where they should have been from the start. Configuration types
for the server and p2p modules now derive serde Serialize and
Deserialize so we can have a simple JSON configuration file.
