55e05a82cdc347400e4e6f8df2b0aba690b835ea Added some factors that affect the dependency list (Martin Erlandsson) Pull request description: To simplify build instructions, the librsvg formula should be moved to the main `brew install ...` command, in my opinion. It is not a big problem to install a single extra formula, and it will only be unused for some users. An additional reason for this change is that I would like to add a comment (in a future PR) about making sure you have the latest version of all deps (in the case of preexisting formulae). That comment can be authored more clearly if this simplification PR is merged.

2019-02-11Merge #15226: Allow creating blank (empty) wallets (alternative)MeshCollider
7687f7873 [wallet] Support creating a blank wallet (Andrew Chow) Pull request description: Alternative (kind of) to #14938 This PR adds a `blank` parameter to the `createwallet` RPC to create a wallet that has no private keys initially. `sethdseed` can then be used to make a clean wallet with a custom seed. `encryptwallet` can also be used to make a wallet that is born encrypted. Instead of changing the version number as done in #14938, a wallet flag is used to indicate that the wallet should be blank. This flag is set at creation, and then unset when the wallet is no longer blank. A wallet becomes non-blank when a HD seed is set or anything is imported. The main change to create a blank wallet is primarily taken from #14938. Also with this, the term "blank wallet" is used instead of "empty wallet" to avoid confusion with wallets that have balance which would also be referred to as "empty". This is built on top of #15225 in order to fix GUI issues.

2019-02-10[wallet] Support creating a blank walletAndrew Chow
A blank wallet is a wallet that has no keys, script or watch only things. A new wallet flag indicating that it is blank will be set when the wallet is blank. Once it is no longer blank (a seed has been generated, keys or scripts imported, etc), the flag will be unset.

Can be used in conjunction with `scantxoutset` as a poor mans wallet. Might be useful to test more complicated future descriptors. ~To keep it as simple as possible it only supports descriptors that result in a single address, so no `combo()` and ranges.~ As discussed recently on IRC it might make sense to put this in a separate utility along with other descriptor and psbt utility functions which don't need a chain or wallet context.

13782b8ba8 docs: add perf section to developer docs (James O'Beirne) 58180b5fd4 tests: add utility to easily profile node performance with perf (James O'Beirne) Pull request description: Adds a context manager to easily (and selectively) profile node performance during functional test execution using `perf`. While writing some tests, I encountered some odd bitcoind slowness. I wrote up a utility (`TestNode.profile_with_perf`) that generates performance diagnostics for a node by running `perf` during the execution of a particular region of test code. `perf` usage is detailed in the excellent (and sadly unmerged) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12649; all due props to @eklitzke. ### Example ```python with node.profile_with_perf("large-msgs"): for i in range(200): node.p2p.send_message(some_large_msg) node.p2p.sync_with_ping() ``` This generates a perf data file in the test node's datadir (`/tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data`). Running `perf report` generates nice output about where the node spent most of its time while running that part of the test: ```bash $ perf report -i /tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data --stdio \ | c++filt \ | less # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 135 of event 'cycles:pp' # Event count (approx.): 1458205679493582 # # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ............... ................... ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ # 70.14% 0.00% bitcoin-net bitcoind [.] CNode::ReceiveMsgBytes(char const*, unsigned int, bool&) | ---CNode::ReceiveMsgBytes(char const*, unsigned int, bool&) 70.14% 0.00% bitcoin-net bitcoind [.] CNetMessage::readData(char const*, unsigned int) | ---CNetMessage::readData(char const*, unsigned int) CNode::ReceiveMsgBytes(char const*, unsigned int, bool&) 35.52% 0.00% bitcoin-net bitcoind [.] std::vector<char, zero_after_free_allocator<char> >::_M_fill_insert(__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char*, std::vector<char, zero_after_free_allocator<char> > >, unsigned long, char const&) | ---std::vector<char, zero_after_free_allocator<char> >::_M_fill_insert(__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char*, std::vector<char, zero_after_free_allocator<char> > >, unsigned long, char const&) CNetMessage::readData(char const*, unsigned int) CNode::ReceiveMsgBytes(char const*, unsigned int, bool&) ... ``` Tree-SHA512: 9ac4ceaa88818d5eca00994e8e3c8ad42ae019550d6583972a0a4f7b0c4f61032e3d0c476b4ae58756bc5eb8f8015a19a7fc26c095bd588f31d49a37ed0c6b3e

2019-01-24Merge #15193: Default -whitelistforcerelay to offWladimir J. van der Laan
a36d97d866e8a11f205d07c624ace7c3d1a2ded8 Default -whitelistforcerelay to off (Suhas Daftuar) Pull request description: No one seems to use this "feature", and at any rate the behavior of relaying transactions when they violate local policy is error-prone, if we ever consider changing the ban behavior of our software from one version to the next. Defaulting this to off means that users who use -whitelist won't be unexpectedly surprised by this interaction. If anyone is still relying on this feature, it can still be explicitly turned on.

5a5ea93e87c766dac1251f0369b2737d8e9dadde Doc: add information about security to the JSON-RPC doc (David A. Harding) Pull request description: This documents some information about using the RPC interface securely, as suggested in https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoincore.org/pull/637 by @luke-jr and @TheBlueMatt. I think it should fit in well with #14458, but is not dependent on it (and shouldn't have any significant merge conflicts with it).
