This curbs runaway growth while still allowing substantial
spikes in block weight
Original specification from ArticMine:
here is the scaling proposal
Define: LongTermBlockWeight
Before fork:
LongTermBlockWeight = BlockWeight
At or after fork:
LongTermBlockWeight = min(BlockWeight, 1.4*LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight)
Note: To avoid possible consensus issues over rounding the LongTermBlockWeight for a given block should be calculated to the nearest byte, and stored as a integer in the block itself. The stored LongTermBlockWeight is then used for future calculations of the LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight and not recalculated each time.
Define: LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight
LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight = max(300000, MedianOverPrevious100000Blocks(LongTermBlockWeight))
Change Definition of EffectiveMedianBlockWeight
From (current definition)
EffectiveMedianBlockWeight = max(300000, MedianOverPrevious100Blocks(BlockWeight))
To (proposed definition)
EffectiveMedianBlockWeight = min(max(300000, MedianOverPrevious100Blocks(BlockWeight)), 50*LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight)
Notes:
1) There are no other changes to the existing penalty formula, median calculation, fees etc.
2) There is the requirement to store the LongTermBlockWeight of a block unencrypted in the block itself. This is to avoid possible consensus issues over rounding and also to prevent the calculations from becoming unwieldy as we move away from the fork.
3) When the EffectiveMedianBlockWeight cap is reached it is still possible to mine blocks up to 2x the EffectiveMedianBlockWeight by paying the corresponding penalty.
* Cleanup and undoing some protocol breakages
* Simplify expiration of nodes
* Request unlock schedules entire node for expiration
* Fix off by one in expiring nodes
* Undo expiring code for pre v10 nodes
* Fix RPC returning register as unlock height and not checking 0
* Rename key image unlock height const
* Undo testnet hardfork debug changes
* Remove is_type for get_type, fix missing var rename
* Move serialisable data into public namespace
* Serialise tx types properly
* Fix typo in no service node known msg
* Code review
* Fix == to >= on serialising tx type
* Code review 2
* Fix tests and key image unlock
* Add command to print locked key images
* Update ui to display lock stakes, query in print cmd blacklist
* Modify print stakes to be less slow
* Remove autostaking code
* Refactor staking into sweep functions
It appears staking was derived off stake_main written separately at
implementation at the beginning. This merges them back into a common
code path, after removing autostake there's only some minor differences.
It also makes sure that any changes to sweeping upstream are going to be
considered in the staking process which we want.
* Display unlock height for stakes
* Begin creating output blacklist
* Make blacklist output a migration step
* Implement get_output_blacklist for lmdb
* In wallet output selection ignore blacklisted outputs
* Apply blacklisted outputs to output selection
* Fix broken tests, switch key image unlock
* Fix broken unit_tests
* Begin change to limit locked key images to 4 globally
* Revamp prepare registration for new min contribution rules
* Fix up old back case in prepare registration
* Remove debug code
* Cleanup debug code and some unecessary changes
* Fix migration step on mainnet db
* Fix blacklist outputs for pre-existing DB's
* Remove irrelevant note
* Tweak scanning addresses for locked stakes
Since we only now allow contributions from the primary address we can
skip checking all subaddress + lookahead to speed up wallet scanning
* Define macro for SCNu64 for Mingw
* Fix failure on empty DB
* Add missing error msg, remove contributor from stake
* Improve staking messages
* Flush prompt to always display
* Return the msg from stake failure and fix stake parsing error
* Tweak fork rules for smaller bulletproofs
* Tweak pooled nodes minimum amounts
* Fix crash on exit, there's no need to store on destructor
Since all information about service nodes is derived from the blockchain
and we store state every time we receive a block, storing in the
destructor is redundant as there is no new information to store.
* Make prompt be consistent with CLI
* Check max number of key images from per user to node
* Implement error message on get_output_blacklist failure
* Remove resolved TODO's/comments
* Handle infinite staking in print_sn
* Atoi->strtol, fix prepare_registration, virtual override, stale msgs
The blockchain prunes seven eighths of prunable tx data.
This saves about two thirds of the blockchain size, while
keeping the node useful as a sync source for an eighth
of the blockchain.
No other data is currently pruned.
There are three ways to prune a blockchain:
- run monerod with --prune-blockchain
- run "prune_blockchain" in the monerod console
- run the monero-blockchain-prune utility
The first two will prune in place. Due to how LMDB works, this
will not reduce the blockchain size on disk. Instead, it will
mark parts of the file as free, so that future data will use
that free space, causing the file to not grow until free space
grows scarce.
The third way will create a second database, a pruned copy of
the original one. Since this is a new file, this one will be
smaller than the original one.
Once the database is pruned, it will stay pruned as it syncs.
That is, there is no need to use --prune-blockchain again, etc.
get_output_key method is commonly used when working with txs and their key images. Because the method is not const, passing blockchain object though const& or pointers to const is not possible in this context. This is especially problematic in external projects (e.g., projects in moneroexamples) that use monero C++ api to operate on the blockchain and txs.
Thus, having get_output_key method will simplify moving blockchain object around through const references and pointers to const objects.

17b45725 Outputs where all amounts are known spent can now be pruned (moneromooo-monero)
Only for pre rct for obvious reasons.
Note: DO NOT use a known spent list which includes outputs
which are not known spent. If the list includes any output
that's just strongly thought to be spent, but not provably
so, you risk finding yourself unable to sync past the point
where that output is spent.
I estimate only 200 MB saved on current mainnet though,
unless the new blackballing rule unearths a good amount of
large-amount-set extra spent outs.

This reverts commit c4988f5a1f.
This un-reverts the changes to store the service node info in the
database. This could easily just be its own commit instead of a
revert, but doing a revert is amusing (and easier in this case).
* add per-output unlock time field to transaction class
* get output unlock time (and relevant const fixes)
* move output unlocked check to separate function
* tx unlocked -> output unlocked in Blockchain
* per output unlock in tx creation; needs fork rules and testing
* per output unlock in tx prefix so it is signed...
also fix a couple typos/goofs
* wallet: check if using per output unlock time
* add rules.h and rules.cpp. git woopsie.
* update test for BlockchainDB changes
* Change tx v3 deregister to be a bool in tx header
* service_node_list: handle per output unlock times in contribution txs
* transaction: added verification of unlock_times.size()
149da42 db_lmdb: enable batch transactions by default (stoffu)

9e1403e update get_info RPC and bump RPC version (vicsn)
207b66e first new functional tests (vicsn)
This gets rid of the temporary precalc cache.
Also make the RPC able to send data back in binary or JSON,
since there can be a lot of data
This bumps the LMDB database format to v3, with migration.
on_generateblocks RPC call combines functionality from the on_getblocktemplate and on_submitblock RPC calls to allow rapid block creation. Difficulty is set permanently to 1 for regtest.
Makes use of FAKECHAIN network type, but takes hard fork heights from mainchain
Default reserve_size in generate_blocks RPC call is now 1. If it is 0, the following error occurs 'Failed to calculate offset for'.
Queries hard fork heights info of other network types
