* cuck placeholder
* rustfmt
* cuckatoo, early days
* rustfmt
* data structures are in place, siphash key creation is consistent with @tromp
* solver in place, (not yet working)
* cuckatoo test solver working with test nonce
* rustfmt
* update solver to remove adjacency list removals
* verifier functioning
* rustfmt
* Proper error handing in Cuckatoo module, couple of tests
* modify cuckoo/cuckatoo solvers and verifiers to function identically, in advance of trait refactoring
* rustfmt
* refactor PoW context into trait, default to using cuckoo context
* rustfmt
* create macros for integer casting/unwraps
* don't instantiate structs when just verifying, add test validation vector for cuckatoo 29
* rustfmt
* don't init cuckoo structs if just validating
* test fix
* ensure BH hashing for POW is only done within miner/validators
* Move Proof and Difficulty types to pow module. Difficulty scaling calculation.
* Diffculty scaling and size shift for 2nd PoW
* Backport e7eb26ee
* Test compilation fixes
* Scaling only need to go one way, as @tromp pointed out
* Sort pool tx by fee over weight for mining. Fixes#1105
* Bucketing dependent transactions before weighing. Minor tx weight fixes.
* Limit length of tx chain, cleanup and test fixes
* Cleanup all mining references to a hardcoded tx count
* Small test improvement, cleanup
* improve: time crate flagged as deprecated, switch to actively maintained chrono crate
* improve: complete the switching from deprecated time crate to chrono crate, for all the tests part
* improve: complete switching to chrono crate, for the left tests in 'chain' and 'wallet'
* Added sizeshift to proof of work and encoding as VLQ
* Fix some loose ends to get things to compile
* Rename sizehift to min_sizeshift
* Pipeline checks for PoW Cuckoo Cycle size shift and adjustment
factor before difficulty comparison.
* Working delta+VLQ encoding of u64 PoW, unfortunately still a
little larger than u32, at least for Cuckoo30.
* Changed binary encoding of proof of work to a sequence of exact
compact bit representation of each nonce. Somewhat simpler,
shorter and matches the data to be hashed.
* Few fixes based on @tromp feedback:
* Max nonce is 2^(N-1)
* Need a separate constant for reference sizeshift
* Cuckoo implementation now conserves sizeshift. Test providing a
block at higher sizeshift.
* Last small overflow protection
We used to hash the hash of the header, needlessly. This also
makes a few function signatures more explicit.
Note that this is consensus breaking and should be accompanied
with a similar change on the cuckoo-pow repository:
6fcecf516aFixes#1066
Small refactoring of one folder, if it makes sense I could extend the scope.
* Remove some cloning (real and just verbosity in the code)
* Naming conventions like to/into*
* Some Clippy's suggestions
I found that we don't use field init shorthand syntax, so I didn't touch this part, was it discussed before?
* Beginning to remove in-process miner
