When processing a quorum for a block, if you are not in the quorum to
validate other nodes, check if you're a node that is going to be tested.
If you are, check based on your current data if you're potentially
a candidate to be decommissioned/deregistered and if so report it to the
console log.
Note that this is only a heuristic and ultimately the decision lies on
what the the other Service Nodes perceive the current state of your node
is (i.e. if they're acting malicious then you will be deregistered
irrespectively).
This switches loki 5.x to use a fee formula of
SIZE * PER_BYTE + OUTPUTS * PER_OUTPUT
where we reduce the PER_BYTE fee back to what it was in 3.x; and with
the PER_OUTPUT fee set to 0.02 LOKI. This compares to the 4.x fee of:
SIZE * PER_BYTE * 80
(the *80 multiple was introduced in 4.x).
It also reduces the multiplier for the maximum priority level to 125
instead of 1000 because 1000 produced uselessly high tx fees. The new
multipliers go up 5x at each level: {1, 5, 25, 125} while previously
they went {1, 5, 25, 1000}.
As for the base change: we added the *80 multiplier in 4.x because we
wanted to make a theoretical de-anonymizing tx spam attack more costly.
The unanticipated consequence was that we also made *large* transactions
(such as sweeps) considerably more costly despite the fact that these
transactions typically only create 2 outputs.
This better captures what we meant to do in 4.x (making output creation
relatively more expensive) without making large txes (e.g. sweeps
required for staking) highly expensive.
The end effect is that the fee for a minimum-sized, 1-input/2-output
transaction should stay roughly the same (slightly over 0.04 LOKI),
while a 100-input/2-output transction (a typical spend or sweep from a
wallet with lots of smaller rewards) will drop in fee by somewhere
around 95%.
The most efficient theoretical deanonymizing tx spamming of this sort
was a 1-input/16-output transaction which will become about 2.5x as
expensive as currently the case in v4.x.
new cli options (RPC ones also apply to wallet):
--p2p-bind-ipv6-address (default = "::")
--p2p-bind-port-ipv6 (default same as ipv4 port for given nettype)
--rpc-bind-ipv6-address (default = "::1")
--p2p-use-ipv6 (default false)
--rpc-use-ipv6 (default false)
--p2p-require-ipv4 (default true, if ipv4 bind fails and this is
true, will not continue even if ipv6 bind
successful)
--rpc-require-ipv4 (default true, description as above)
ipv6 addresses are to be specified as "[xx:xx:xx::xx:xx]:port" except
in the cases of the cli args for bind address. For those the square
braces can be omitted.
The doc generator doesn't know how to parse using statements, so upgrade
contributor/contributions to global scope in the RPC definitions file so
it's able to parse it for both service node RPC calls.
The best option will be to eventually deprecate the various ways to
query the network down to 1 call that doesn't duplicate functionality.
KV_SERIALIZE doesn't handle non-primitive types well and requires adding
in extra deserialize/reserialize code. It's more straightforward to
manually serialize the output, rather than add serialization overloads.
Furthermore, KV_SERIALIZE doesn't support serializing enums in a sane
way.

The replaces the deregistration mechanism with a new state change
mechanism (beginning at the v12 fork) which can change a service node's
network status via three potential values (and is extensible in the
future to handle more):
- deregistered -- this is the same as the existing deregistration; the
SN is instantly removed from the SN list.
- decommissioned -- this is a sort of temporary deregistration: your SN
remains in the service node list, but is removed from the rewards list
and from any network duties.
- recommissioned -- this tx is sent by a quorum if they observe a
decommissioned SN sending uptime proofs again. Upon reception, the SN
is reactivated and put on the end of the reward list.
Since this is broadening the quorum use, this also renames the relevant
quorum to a "obligations" quorum (since it validates SN obligations),
while the transactions are "state_change" transactions (since they
change the state of a registered SN).
The new parameters added to service_node_rules.h control how this works:
// Service node decommissioning: as service nodes stay up they earn "credits" (measured in blocks)
// towards a future outage. A new service node starts out with INITIAL_CREDIT, and then builds up
// CREDIT_PER_DAY for each day the service node remains active up to a maximum of
// DECOMMISSION_MAX_CREDIT.
//
// If a service node stops sending uptime proofs, a quorum will consider whether the service node
// has built up enough credits (at least MINIMUM): if so, instead of submitting a deregistration,
// it instead submits a decommission. This removes the service node from the list of active
// service nodes both for rewards and for any active network duties. If the service node comes
// back online (i.e. starts sending the required performance proofs again) before the credits run
// out then a quorum will reinstate the service node using a recommission transaction, which adds
// the service node back to the bottom of the service node reward list, and resets its accumulated
// credits to 0. If it does not come back online within the required number of blocks (i.e. the
// accumulated credit at the point of decommissioning) then a quorum will send a permanent
// deregistration transaction to the network, starting a 30-day deregistration count down.
This commit currently includes values (which are not necessarily
finalized):
- 8 hours (240 blocks) of credit required for activation of a
decommission (rather than a deregister)
- 0 initial credits at registration
- a maximum of 24 hours (720 blocks) of credits
- credits accumulate at a rate that you hit 24 hours of credits after 30
days of operation.
Miscellaneous other details of this PR:
- a new TX extra tag is used for the state change (including
deregistrations). The old extra tag has no version or type tag, so
couldn't be reused. The data in the new tag is slightly more
efficiently packed than the old deregistration transaction, so it gets
used for deregistrations (starting at the v12 fork) as well.
- Correct validator/worker selection required generalizing the shuffle
function to be able to shuffle just part of a vector. This lets us
stick any down service nodes at the end of the potential list, then
select validators by only shuffling the part of the index vector that
contains active service indices. Once the validators are selected, the
remainder of the list (this time including decommissioned SN indices) is
shuffled to select quorum workers to check, thus allowing decommisioned
nodes to be randomly included in the nodes to check without being
selected as a validator.
- Swarm recalculation was not quite right: swarms were recalculated on
SN registrations, even if those registrations were include shared node
registrations, but *not* recalculated on stakes. Starting with the
upgrade this behaviour is fixed (swarms aren't actually used currently
and aren't consensus-relevant so recalculating early won't hurt
anything).
- Details on decomm/dereg are added to RPC info and print_sn/print_sn_status
- Slightly improves the % of reward output in the print_sn output by
rounding it to two digits, and reserves space in the output string to
avoid excessive reallocations.
- Adds various debugging at higher debug levels to quorum voting (into
all of voting itself, vote transmission, and vote reception).
- Reset service node list internal data structure version to 0. The SN
list has to be rescanned anyway at upgrade (its size has changed), so we
might as well reset the version and remove the version-dependent
serialization code. (Note that the affected code here is for SN states
in lmdb storage, not for SN-to-SN communication serialization).
- Don't try participate in quorums at startup if you are not a service node
- Add lock for when potentially writing to the DB
- Pre-existing batch can be open whilst updating checkpoint so can't use
DB guards
- Temporarily emit the ban message using msgwriter instead of logs
The setup-background-mining option can be used to select
background mining when a wallet loads. The user will be asked
the first time the wallet is created.
