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.
Fixes a few loose ends in the full cycle of sending coins,
accepting them, pushing that transaction to the pool and having it
mined. More specifically:
* The API output endpoint needs to be a UTXO endpoint, as the
server can't make any guarantee about having a spent output.
* Bubbling up HTTP not found errors.
* Wallet output status checker now handles spent outputs.
* Transaction pool validates the transaction before accepting it.
* Fixed the operation API routes.
* Fixed too greedy wallet coin selection loop.
* Transactions coming from the network are now pushed to the pool
through the net adapter.
* New blocks accepted by the chain are sent to the pool for
eviction.
* The miner requests transactions from the pool to build its
blocks.
* The push API adds to the pool, removing the mock.
* Implementation of the adapter to the chain required by the pool
to get consistent UTXOs. Grossly unoptimized until we have the UTXO
MMR ready.
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.
Adds a couple utility function to p2p server to check whether
we're already connected to a peer before trying again. Other
very minor fixes and logging improvements.
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.
