This is part of the "UTXO Set Statistics" project in Core, which aims
to make things like "checking coin supply" faster. This stuff, and
related things in coinstats.cpp, have always been broken for Elements
in the sense that we consider only explicit outputs and we ignore
assets (so everything just gets added together to get a meaningless
total). It probably wouldn't be too hard to restrict this to only
consider policyAsset, but it's out of scope for a rebase IMO.
Also, I think this situation is fine .. I don't understand the motivation
for this or why Core is merging this when they refuse to merge an address
index .. but I guess we'll see if there are users who care about this data
and who care about it being meaningful on Elements.
Also, apologies for the big diff -- there were some mechanical changes
to deal with CT amounts, but most of the changes related to the difference
in how fees are accounted for. While I'm not thrilled with this PR, its
functional test is really good! So I think what I eventually came up with
is internally consistent.
Note: up to this point I still had the old "sort by UNIX timestamp"
behavior on, which may have meant that some PRs were merged out of
order (i.e. multiple merged at once, followed by no-op merges). I
turned this off, and now just use git's default topo-sort (and manually
switch between Elements merges and Bitcoin merges).
Looks like James hardcoded a couple hashes in hard-to-find places, which
caused a unit test to fail. I just changed the hash (which covers UTXO
data which naturally will be different for us on account of our differently
formatted CTxOuts).
TODO: determine how Assumeutxo interacts with the fact that we don't save
out nonces in our normal UTXO serialization. Probably we will need to remove
the nonce from the CCoinStats serialization to avoid having inconsistent
hashes across nodes, since these hashes are now checked in assumeutxo?
2eb0eeda39 validation: document lack of inherited signaling in RBF policy (Antoine Riard)
906b6d9da6 test: Extend feature_rbf.py with no inherited signaling (Antoine Riard)
Pull request description:
Contrary to BIP125 or other full-node implementation (e.g btcd), Bitcoin Core's mempool policy doesn't implement inherited signaling.
This PR documents our mempool behavior on this and add a test demonstrating the case.
