Do not discourage nodes even when they send us consensus invalid transactions. Because we do not discourage nodes for transactions we consider non-standard, we don't get any DoS protection from this check in adversarial scenarios, so remove the check entirely both to simplify the code and reduce the risk of splitting the network due to changes in tx relay policy. NOTE: Backport required additional adjustment in test/functional/p2p_invalid_tx Github-Pull: #33050 Rebased-From: 266dd0e10d08c0bfde63205db15d6c210a021b90 |

Various test vectors
mainnet_alt.json
For easier testing the difficulty is maximally increased in the first (and only) retarget period, by producing blocks approximately 2 minutes apart.
The alternate mainnet chain was generated as follows:
- use faketime to set node clock to 2 minutes after genesis block
- mine a block using a CPU miner such as https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer
- restart node with a faketime 2 minutes later
for i in {1..2015}
do
faketime "`date -d @"$(( 1231006505 + $i * 120 ))" +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'`" \
bitcoind -connect=0 -nocheckpoints -stopatheight=$i
done
The CPU miner is kept running as follows:
./minerd --coinbase-addr 1NQpH6Nf8QtR2HphLRcvuVqfhXBXsiWn8r --no-stratum --algo sha256d --no-longpoll --scantime 3 --retry-pause 1
The payout address is derived from first BIP32 test vector master key:
pkh(xprv9s21ZrQH143K3QTDL4LXw2F7HEK3wJUD2nW2nRk4stbPy6cq3jPPqjiChkVvvNKmPGJxWUtg6LnF5kejMRNNU3TGtRBeJgk33yuGBxrMPHi/44h/0h/0h/<0;1>/*)#fkjtr0yn
It uses pkh() because tr() outputs at low heights are not spendable (unexpected-witness).
This makes each block deterministic except for its timestamp and nonce, which
are stored in mainnet_alt.json and used to reconstruct the chain without
having to redo the proof-of-work.
The timestamp was not kept constant because at difficulty 1 it's not sufficient to only grind the nonce. Grinding the extra_nonce or version field instead would have required additional (stratum) software. It would also make it more complicated to reconstruct the blocks in this test.
