2017-09-27Change getmininginfo errors field to warningsAndrew Chow
Changes the errors field to warnings. To maintain compatibility, the errors field is deprecated and enabled by starting bitcoind with -deprecatedrpc=getmininginfo

2017-09-26[rpc] Deprecate estimatefee RPCJohn Newbery
Deprecate estimatefee in v0.16, for final removal in v0.17. This commit introduces a phased removal of RPC methods. RPC method is disabled by default in version x, but can be enabled by using the `-deprecatedrpc=<method>` argument. RPC method is removed entirely in version (x+1).

2017-09-11Deprecate confusing blockmaxsize, fix getmininginfo outputMatt Corallo
* This removes block-size-limiting code in favor of GBT clients doing the limiting themselves (if at all). * -blockmaxsize is deprecated and only used to calculate an implied blockmaxweight, addressing confusion from multiple users. * getmininginfo's currentblocksize return value was returning garbage values, and has been removed, also removing a GetSerializeSize call in some block generation inner loops and potentially addressing some performance edge cases.

2017-09-05Merge #11173: RPC: Fix currency unit string in the help textMarcoFalke
47ba2c312 Fix currency/fee-rate unit string in the help text (Akio Nakamura) Pull request description: 1. The RPC help text should use the constant `CURRENCY_UNIT` defined in `policy/feerate.cpp` instead of the literal `'BTC'`. In the following 2 RPC commands, `'BTC'` is written directly in the help text. This commit changes them to use that constant. 1) `estimatesmartfee` 2) `estimaterawfee` 2. Some RPC command use `'satoshis'` as the unit. It should be written as `'satoshis'` instead of `'Satoshis'` in the RPC help text. So, this commit fixes this typo in `getblocktemplate`.

2017-09-05Fix currency/fee-rate unit string in the help textAkio Nakamura
1. The RPC help text should use the constant CURRENCY_UNIT defined in policy/feerate.cpp instead of the literal 'BTC'. In the following 2 RPC commands, 'BTC' is written directly in the help text. 1) estimatesmartfee 2) estimaterawfee And also, for these help strings, the notation 'fee-per-kilobyte (in BTC)' is somewhat ambiguous. To write more precisely, this commit changes to 'fee rate in BTC/kB' with using the constant CURRENCY_UNIT. 2. Some RPC command use 'satoshis' as the unit. It should be written as 'satoshis' instead of 'Satoshis' in the RPC help text. So, this commit fixes this typo in getblocktemplate. 3. The phrase that '... feerate (BTC per KB) ...' is used to explain the fee rate in the help text of following 2 RPC commands. 1) getmempoolinfo 2) fundrawtransaction But they are different from other similar help text of the RPCs. And also, 'KB' implies Kibibyte (2^10 byte). To unify and to clarify, this commit changes these phrase to '... fee rate in BTC/kB ...'. (BTC references the constant 'CURRENCY_UNIT')
2017-08-29rpc: Push down safe mode checksAndrew Chow
This contains most of the changes of 10563 "remove safe mode", but doesn't remove the safe mode yet, but put an `ObserveSafeMode()` check in individual calls with okSafeMode=false. This cleans up the ugly "okSafeMode" flag from the dispatch tables, which is not a concern for the RPC server. Extra-author: Wladimir J. van der Laan <laanwj@gmail.com>

4dc1915 check for null values in rpc args and handle appropriately (Gregory Sanders) 999ef20 importmulti options are optional (Gregory Sanders) a70d025 fixup some rpc param counting for rpc help (Gregory Sanders) Pull request description: Audited where named args will fail to use correct default values or may fail when additional optional arguments are added. Previously for these parameters, it was fine to omit them as positional arguments, but it would trigger UniValue runtime errors to set them to null, or to omit them while passing named parameters with greater positions (which would internally set earlier missing arguments to null). Now null values are treated the same as missing values so these errors do not occur. Included a few other small fixes while working on it. I didn't bother fixing account-based rpc calls.

2017-07-14Remove checking of mempool min fee from estimateSmartFee.Alex Morcos
This check has been moved to the wallet logic GetMinimumFee. The rpc call to estimatesmartfee will now no longer return a result maxed with the mempool min fee, but automated fee calculations from the wallet will produce the same result as before and coincontrol and sendcoins dialogs in the GUI will correctly display the right prospective fee. changes to policy/fees.cpp include a big whitespace indentation change.
2017-07-14Remove confusing MAX_BLOCK_BASE_SIZE.Gregory Maxwell
Some people keep thinking that MAX_BLOCK_BASE_SIZE is a separate size limit from the weight limit when it fact it is superfluous, and used in early tests before the witness data has been validated or just to compute worst case sizes. The size checks that use it would not behave any differently consensus wise if they were eliminated completely. Its correct value is not independently settable but is a function of the weight limit and weight formula. This patch just eliminates it and uses the scale factor as required to compute the worse case constants. It also moves the weight factor out of primitives into consensus, which is a more logical place for it.

2017-06-29rpc: Move the `generate` RPC call to rpcwalletWladimir J. van der Laan
This makes it possible to mine to any wallet when multi-wallet mode is added. Solves the same problem as #10649, but IMO in a cleaner way. It also gets rid of the circuitous `ScriptForMining` method on `CValidationInterface`, which really doesn't belong there. After this change it's still possible to mine without wallet through `generatetoaddress`.

2017-05-10Introduce a scale factorAlex Morcos
For the per confirmation number tracking of data, introduce a scale factor so that in the longer horizones confirmations are bucketed together at a resolution of the scale. (instead of 1008 individual data points for each fee bucket, have 42 data points each covering 24 different confirmation values.. (1-24), (25-48), etc.. )
2017-05-10Rewrite estimateSmartFeeAlex Morcos
Change the logic of estimateSmartFee to check a 60% threshold at half the target, a 85% threshold at the target and a 95% threshold at double the target. Always check the shortest time horizon possible and ensure that estimates are monotonically decreasing. Add a conservative mode, which makes sure that the 95% threshold is also met at longer time horizons as well.
