* use estimatesmartfee for fee estimation, in case of BitcoinSegwit
* use estimatesmartfee in daemon if available
* daemon._is_rpc_available() now catches DaemonError instead of using HTTP error code
* Construct unpacking functions for byte format up front to save time
wasted on parsing format string every iteration.
* Store length ahead of time as the overhead adds up.
* Reduce object attribute lookups in hash functions.
* Clean up lib pkg API changes. Unit test new "public" API members.
Underscore prefix for internal hash module funcs. Make bytes.fromhex a
public function.
* Document recent performance findings.
* Fix formatting
* Refactor daemons
Replaced FujiDaemon with FakeEstimateFeeDaemon that simulates estimate
fee calls and provide the same functionality.
Removed the parameter False for LegacyRPCDaemon's getblock RPC call as
it is not needed.
* Fix Crown coin P2SH_VERBYTES and add REORG_LIMIT
Fixes the issue whereby notifications weren't sent as long as new blocks
kept coming in. Now a new height notification, with an appropriate mempool
update, is sent after each batch of blocks is processed.
Add support for daemons that don't have the new 'getblock' RPC call that
returns the block in hex, the workaround is to manually recreate the block
bytes. The recreated block bytes may not be the exact ones as in the
underlying blockchain but it is good enough for our indexing purposes.
Closes#104
DEFAULT_PORTS now a coin property
A Peer object maintains peer information
Revamp LocalRPC "peers" call to show a lot more information
Have lib/jsonrpc.py take care of handling request timeouts
Save and restore peers to a file
Loosen JSON RPC rules so we work with electrum-server and beancurd which don't follow the spec.
Handle incoming server.add_peer requests
Send server.add_peer registrations if peer doesn't have us or correct ports
Verify peers at regular intervals, forget stale peers, verify new peers or those with updated ports
If connecting via one port fails, try the other
Add socks.py for SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxying, so Tor servers can now be reached by TCP and SSL
Put full licence boilerplate in lib/ files
Disable IRC advertising on testnet
Serve a Tor banner file if it seems like a connection came from your tor proxy (see ENVIONMENT.rst)
Retry tor proxy hourly, and peers that are about to turn stale
Report more onion peers to a connection that seems to be combing from your tor proxy
Only report good peers to server.peers.subscribe; always report self if valid
Handle peers on the wrong network robustly
Default to 127.0.0.1 rather than localhost for Python <= 3.5.2 compatibility
Put peer name in logs of connections to it
Update docs
Cleanup and simplify touched handling and its event, which is
now controlled and owned by the mempool.
The daemon object owns the set of current mempool hashes.
Clean up and simplify the mempool main loop.
Fixes#70.
Daemon URLs can be comma-separated in the DAEMON_URL env var.
Surrounding whitespace is stripped.
http:// is preprended if missing.
The coin's default port is supplied if missing.
A trailing / is supplied if missing.
Closes#33
Simplest way to process the result and still be able to raise exceptions
in the daemon request loop. In particular, we can pass missing txs through
as None in getrawtransactions.
Fixes#9
