rustfmt stopped working for me. It turns out people started having trouble with this last year already https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rustfmt/issues/2304
* rustfmt on a single file now works! Secrets inside
After `rustup component add rustfmt-preview` I get rustfmt as a command in my terminal.
`rustfmt --help` reveals --write-mode [replace|overwrite|display|plain|diff|coverage|checkstyle] and we've been using the default which is either `overwrite` or `replace` (depending on rustfmt version) and this was changing a bunch of files and a messed up workflow.
* Newcomer-friendly explanation how to use `rustfmt`
* wip - coinbase maturity and output lock height docs
* tbd spend an output
* expand on how we prove ownership of an output to spend it
* add proposed solution
* fixup output hash description
On Fedora, Linux headers aren't enough to build `rocksdb`, as suggested in #549. `clang` is also required. Adds note to troubleshooting to help with this.
* Add minor document fixes
- fix broken link
- fix shell command formatting
- fix typo
* Add FAQ entry dealing with rocksdb
When compiling Grin without Linux headers the build process exits with
an opaque error message. Adding the header files fixes this.
References #549.
* distinguish select (among futures) from select coins. Regex search in project for select\b shows we hardly use select, but maybe could use it to add timeouts more cleanly. ("Want to add a timeout to any future? Just do a select of that future and a timeout future!" from https://aturon.github.io/blog/2016/08/11/futures/)

And explain and link to build.md about creating folders server and wallet manually.
* add Files in this folder (doc)
* rename headlines
* docs: extract code and directory structure to code_structure.md
* Add required minimum version for Rust (Build fails on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with 1.17.0, but works fine with a manual install of 1.21.0, so I am assuming that 1.21.0 is the minimum)
* Make it clearer that grin.toml needs to be copied into the server directory
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.

* 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.

* 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
* Beginning work on pool design doc
* Refining data structures; adding connect capability
* Fleshing out the connectivity paths for the tx pool
* Bringing tx pool and orphan set add logic up into parent TransactionPool
* Use output's commitment as identifier in graph structures
* Breaking a bunch of stuff to start migration to output commitment as id instead of hash
* Wrapping up updates to pool using commitment keys, dummy blockchain. Contains lots of cleanup on the internal flow.

* Delegate orphan reference resolution to resolve_orphan_refs
Block, Output and Kernel now have bitmasks to hold supported
features and eventually versioning. Will make adding features and
updates easier and open the possibility of soft forks.
First added feature for Output and Kernel is the marking of coinbase
related ones. Allows the validation of the coinbase part of a block.
Documentation aimed at a technical audience, just requiring some basic
knowledge of bitcoin, to explain how MimbleWimble works and how it's
applied in Grin.
