2017-01-13Introduce assumevalid setting to skip presumed valid scripts.Gregory Maxwell
This disentangles the script validation skipping from checkpoints. A new option is introduced "assumevalid" which specifies a block whos ancestors we assume all have valid scriptsigs and so we do not check them when they are also burried under the best header by two weeks worth of work. Unlike checkpoints this has no influence on consensus unless you set it to a block with an invalid history. Because of this it can be easily be updated without risk of influencing the network consensus. This results in a massive IBD speedup. This approach was independently recommended by Peter Todd and Luke-Jr since POW based signature skipping (see PR#9180) does not have the verifiable properties of a specific hash and may create bad incentives. The downside is that, like checkpoints, the defaults bitrot and older releases will sync slower. On the plus side users can provide their own value here, and if they set it to something crazy all that will happen is more time will be spend validating signatures. Checkblocks and checklevel are also moved to the hidden debug options: Especially now that checkblocks has a low default there is little need to change these settings, and users frequently misunderstand them as influencing security or IBD speed. By hiding them we offset the space added by this new option.

2016-11-02IBD check uses minimumchain work instead of checkpoints.Gregory Maxwell
This introduces a 'minimum chain work' chainparam which is intended to be the known amount of work in the chain for the network at the time of software release. If you don't have this much work, you're not yet caught up. This is used instead of the count of blocks test from checkpoints. This criteria is trivial to keep updated as there is no element of subjectivity, trust, or position dependence to it. It is also a more reliable metric of sync status than a block count.

2015-12-14Make max tip age an option instead of chainparamWladimir J. van der Laan
After discussion in #7164 I think this is better. Max tip age was introduced in #5987 to make it possible to run testnet-in-a-box. But associating this behavior with the testnet chain is wrong conceptually, as it is not needed in normal usage. Should aim to make testnet test the software as-is. Replace it with a (debug) option `-maxtipage`, which can be specified only in the specific case.

2015-11-27Switch blocks to a constant-space Merkle root/branch algorithm.Pieter Wuille
This switches the Merkle tree logic for blocks to one that runs in constant (small) space. The old code is moved to tests, and a new test is added that for various combinations of block sizes, transaction positions to compute a branch for, and mutations: * Verifies that the old code and new code agree for the Merkle root. * Verifies that the old code and new code agree for the Merkle branch. * Verifies that the computed Merkle branch is valid. * Verifies that mutations don't change the Merkle root. * Verifies that mutations are correctly detected.

2015-09-22Do not store Merkle branches in the wallet.Pieter Wuille
Assume that when a wallet transaction has a valid block hash and transaction position in it, the transaction is actually there. We're already trusting wallet data in a much more fundamental way anyway. To prevent backward compatibility issues, a new record is used for storing the block locator in the wallet. Old wallets will see a wallet file synchronized up to the genesis block, and rescan automatically.
