2014-07-03Use fee/priority estimates in wallet CreateTransactionGavin Andresen
The wallet now uses the mempool fee estimator with a new command-line option: -txconfirmtarget (default: 1) instead of using hard-coded fees or priorities. A new bitcoind that hasn't seen enough transactions to estimate will fall back to the old hard-coded minimum priority or transaction fee. -paytxfee option overrides -txconfirmtarget. Relaying and mining code isn't changed. For Qt, the coin control dialog now uses priority estimates to label transaction priority (instead of hard-coded constants); unspent outputs were consistently labeled with a much higher priority than is justified by the free transactions actually being accepted into blocks. I did not implement any GUI for setting -txconfirmtarget; I would suggest getting rid of the "Pay transaction fee" GUI and replace it with either "target number of confirmations" or maybe a "faster confirmation <--> lower fee" slider or select box.

6e7c4d1 gitian: upgrade OpenSSL to 1.0.1h (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
2014-06-06estimatefee / estimatepriority RPC methodsGavin Andresen
New RPC methods: return an estimate of the fee (or priority) a transaction needs to be likely to confirm in a given number of blocks. Mike Hearn created the first version of this method for estimating fees. It works as follows: For transactions that took 1 to N (I picked N=25) blocks to confirm, keep N buckets with at most 100 entries in each recording the fees-per-kilobyte paid by those transactions. (separate buckets are kept for transactions that confirmed because they are high-priority) The buckets are filled as blocks are found, and are saved/restored in a new fee_estiamtes.dat file in the data directory. A few variations on Mike's initial scheme: To estimate the fee needed for a transaction to confirm in X buckets, all of the samples in all of the buckets are used and a median of all of the data is used to make the estimate. For example, imagine 25 buckets each containing the full 100 entries. Those 2,500 samples are sorted, and the estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the very next block is the 50'th-highest-fee-entry in that sorted list; the estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the next two blocks is the 150'th-highest-fee-entry, etc. That algorithm has the nice property that estimates of how much fee you need to pay to get confirmed in block N will always be greater than or equal to the estimate for block N+1. It would clearly be wrong to say "pay 11 uBTC and you'll get confirmed in 3 blocks, but pay 12 uBTC and it will take LONGER". A single block will not contribute more than 10 entries to any one bucket, so a single miner and a large block cannot overwhelm the estimates.
2014-06-05gitian: upgrade OpenSSL to 1.0.1hWladimir J. van der Laan
Upgrade for https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt Just in case - there is no vulnerability that affects ecdsa signing or verification. The MITM attack vulnerability (CVE-2014-0224) may have some effect on our usage of SSL/TLS. As long as payment requests are signed (which is the common case), usage of the payment protocol should also not be affected. The TLS usage in RPC may be at risk for MITM attacks. If you have `-rpcssl` enabled, be sure to update OpenSSL as soon as possible.

1411a51 doc: Update hash in release process for new windows deps intermediate (Wladimir J. van der Laan) 386e732 gitian: make linux qt intermediate deterministic (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
2014-06-03Some documentation fixes + link to my Docker/LXC guideGiuseppe Mazzotta
I added a link to my guide about using docker containers + LXC (I am planning to maintain this at work for future bitcoin versions), then I mentioned other virtualization options (KVM, LXC). This commit includes a fix issue for documentation issue #4269 that consists in telling users to checkout correct bitcoin version before using the gitian descriptors (otherwise all hell can break loose). Also, I replaced URL for Debian 7.4 ISO with a correct one and added link to official Debian ISO sources.

There is no need to use any specific version of boost on Linux/Unix. Even 1.37 should still work. Also the mention of boost-dev doesn't belong after adding oldstable. Remove it. libboost-all-dev is already mentioned earlier.
