* Beginning to add a POW description, and some minor changes to mining testing, addition of further debug information to mining output.
* 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.
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.
* 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.
Most of the logic to build a transaction that sends coin to
another party. Still requires more debugging and clean up.
Main changes and additions are:
* Update to serde 1.0
* API endpoint to retrieve an Output
* Output is now Serialize and Deserialize
* Wallet configuration
* Command line for the send operation
* Wallet data checker to update created outputs into confirmed
* Wallet-specific configuration
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.
Beginning of a first pass at simple wallet functionalities so
Grin can be used to author transactions. We introduce a
receiving server, to be at least able to build coinbase outputs
that can be used by the mining daemon.
Present:
* Coinbase receiving API.
* Command to start the receiving server.
* Beginning of a transaction sending command.
* Improvements to the REST API abstractions to support the above.
Still to do:
* Change to the miner daemon to use the receiving server.
* A command line sender.
* API to receive any transaction (not just coinbase).
* A command line receiver.
Beyond that, HD derivation and seed generation are very simple
so far and almost certainly insecure. Just for testing for now.

* 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.
* Beginning work on new block reconciliation
* WIP: Replacing monolithic pool cleanup with mark-and-sweep, which greatly simplifies the logic.
* Laying the groundwork for pool tests; test tx generator
* WIP: More elaborate test helpers; starting work on more elaborate block acceptance test.
* Need DummyUtxoSet to actually apply blocks now
* Using search_for_best_output to validate output status in test_basic_pool_add
* Enable modification of chain while under shared pool ownership. Cleanup pending
* WIP: Begining to untangle the TransactionPool impl from Pool and Orphans data structures
* Finishing refactoring of pool block reconciliaition; getting tests working again
* Add metrics for graph sizes; prereq to pool size throttling

* Tests for block building procedure
* Delegate duplicate output checking to check_duplicate_outputs
* Delegate orphan reference resolution to resolve_orphan_refs
Builds codecs to encode and decode blocks, block headers, transactions, kernels, etc. Will be used by the store and peer-to-peer layer for serialization, but also to compute hashes. Separates out serialization from core.
* core: cleanup slicing impls for Hash
* core: clean up Readable trait, implement Readable/Writeable for various integers
* core: change Hash debug output to hex
* core: correct warnings in all modules
* Replace AsFixedBytes with Sized + AsRef<[u8]>
* Add AsRef<u8> to impl_array_newtype!
* Include AsFixedBytes as marker trait
* Related fixes
* Remove Deref
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.
Some renaming and cleanup of the Input, Output, Transaction and
Block structs. The main change is the removal of all the overt
structures which are now replaced by a specialized module to
build transactions easily. More specifically:
* Rename the TxProof to TxKernel in Block to reflect the current
naming consensus in MimbleWimble.
* Change Input and Output to be plain structs instead of enums
making their manipulation a lot easier. The building of
transactions is now handled by the build module.
* Input now directly includes the commitment of the Output it's
spending instead of going through an intermediate hash.
* The new build module encapsulates all the transaction building
logic, making it very straightforward by chaining combinators.
* Moves some tests to the core mod.rs as they required being able
to build a transaction to test it.
* use MESSAGE_SIZE constant instead of 32
* use Hashed trait in genesis
* safer serialization of Hash
* Hashed of [u8] should send only data to hash function, not length + data
* Safer serialization of Proof
* Safer serialization of Commitment
* Safer serialization of RangeProof
* introduce read_limited_vec instead of potential panic in conversion
