Unclear whether and when to replace by fresh copies. * Unclear when to add a key of a new developer or Gitian builder. The problems are solved by * Having no keys but only the fingerprints * Adding a rule of thumb, when to add a new key <strike>Moving the keys to a different repo solves none of these issues, but since the keys are not bound to releases or git branches of Bitcoin Core, they should live somewhere else. Obviously, all keys are hosted and distributed on key servers, but were added to the repo solely for convenience and redundancy. Moving the mirror of those keys to a different repo makes it less distracting to update them -- let's say -- prior to every major release.

2018-01-18Don't allow relative -walletdir pathsRussell Yanofsky
Also warn if bitcoind is configured to use a relative -datadir path. Specifying paths relative to the current working directory in a daemon process can be dangerous, because files can fail to be located even if the configuration doesn't change, but the daemon is started up differently. Specifying a relative -datadir now adds a warning to the debug log. It would not be backwards-compatible to forbid relative -datadir paths entirely, and it could also be also inconvenient for command line testing. Specifying a relative -walletdir now results in a startup error. But since the -walletdir option is new in 0.16.0, there should be no compatibility issues. Another reason not to use working directory paths for -walletdir specifically is that the default -walletdir is a "wallets" subdirectory inside the datadir, so it could be surprising that setting -walletdir manually would choose a directory rooted in a completely different location.

I moved the "resource limits" section to the end as I didn't seem to need it with clang, but this may vary based on source changes and the phase of the moon so it's good to keep it as optional extra information.

5cbbbd7 [Wallet] Use RBF by default in QT only (Sjors Provoost) Pull request description: ~If there are no objections, this would supersede #11556.~ Enabling RBF by default avoids the need to explain all possible use cases of RBF. This PR does not change the default RPC wallet behavior, as this could break implementations that depend on it and it's not clear what happens when automated services suddenly switch on RBF on a large scale. After trying various approaches, we settled on just having QT ignore `-walletrbf`.
