* initial pass at indexing block header hashes by commitments
* check block height matches currently indexed block height
when getting block header for an output commit
* add some test coverage
* document get_block_header_by_output_commit
* 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
* 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
* changes to use blake2 for cuckoo seed generation
* updating tests to blake 2
* 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
When a new block is rejected by the validation pipeline as orphan,
the chain now keeps it in a ring buffer of capped size. Anytime
a new block is accepted, all orphans in the ring buffer are
retried. This is helpful to handle all the cases where we receive
blocks out of order for networking/timing reasons.
Couple improvements to the sum tree implementation. First change
is to not store the data but only its hashes, assuming a higher
level layer will take care of the data (KV store).
Second minor improvement is renaming Node into NodeData and vice
versa.
* 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
* core: partially implement sumtree; appending and pruning work
* core: add simple merkle-root-sum-calculating function.
* core: implement replacement in sumtree
* core: implement de/serialization for sumtree
* core: make sumtree index use hashes rather than data
* core: prevent double-adds to sumtrees
* core: replace sumtree's separate sums with a Summable trait
* core: make SumTree::contains() return the index if an element exists
* 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
Introduce a new Chain struct that maintains the current head,
acts as facade to the store and the block processing pipeline
and handles all appropriate locking.
All higher level components, like the overall server, REST APIs
and miner have been update to only depend on Chain. Cleaned up
some duplication and tests now that there's a single entry point
to all blockchain operations.
* Clarifications to SHA3 hash and addition of progress-freeness concept in Pooling Capacity
* Update to cuckoo cycle details based on John Tromp's comments.
* A couple of typos
* More clarifications based on John Tromp's feedback
