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.
2014-05-13Add -rpcbind option to allow binding RPC port on a specific interfaceWladimir J. van der Laan
Add -rpcbind command option to specify binding RPC service on one or multiple specific interfaces. Functionality if -rpcbind is not specified remains the same as before: - If no -rpcallowip specified, bind on localhost - If no -rpcbind specified, bind on any interface Implements part of #3111.
2014-05-12rpc: keep track of acceptors, and cancel them in StopRPCThreadsWladimir J. van der Laan
Fixes #4156. The problem is that the boost::asio::io_service destructor waits for the acceptors to finish (on windows, and boost 1.55). Fix this by keeping track of the acceptors and cancelling them before stopping the event loops.
2014-05-12rpc: Make sure conn object is always cleaned upWladimir J. van der Laan
Make sure conn object always gets cleaned up by using a `boost::shared_ptr`. This makes valgrind happy - before this commit, one connection object always leaked at shutdown, as well as can avoid other leaks, when for example an exception happens. Also add an explicit Close() to the !ClientAllowed path to make it similar to the normal path (I'm not sure whether it is needed, but it can't hurt).
2014-05-12rpc: pass errors from async_acceptWladimir J. van der Laan
According to the [boost::asio documentation](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/basic_socket_acceptor/async_accept/overload2.html), the function signature of the handler must be: void handler( const boost::system::error_code& error // Result of operation. ); We were binding *all* the arguments, instead of all but the error, resulting in nullary function that never got the error. Fix this by adding an input argument substitution.

2014-05-09rpc: Use netmasks instead of wildcards for IP address matchingWladimir J. van der Laan
`-rpcallowip` currently has a wacky wildcard-based format. After this commit it will accept the more standard format, for example: - Ranges with netmask 127.0.0.0/255.255.255.0, ::/0 - Ranges with cidr 12.3.4.5/24, 12:34:56:78:9a:bc:de:00/112 - Loose IPs ::1, 127.0.0.1 Trying to use the old *?-based format will result in an error message at launch.
2014-05-06rpc: add `getblockchaininfo` and `getnetworkinfo`Wladimir J. van der Laan
Adds two new info query commands that take over information from hodge-podge `getinfo`. Also some new information is added: - `getblockchaininfo` - `chain`: (string) current chain (main, testnet3, regtest) - `verificationprogress: (numeric) estimated verification progress - `chainwork` - `getnetworkinfo` - `localaddresses`: (array) local addresses, from mapLocalHost (fixes #1734)
2014-03-31Organize RPCCommands tableWladimir J. van der Laan
Use sensible categories (overall control, P2P, blockchain/UTXO and mining, wallet, wallet-enabled mining) and sort within each. Also remove unnecessary #ifdef ENABLE_WALLET from `rpcnet.cpp`. Functionality-neutral change.
2014-03-24Fix regression testsGavin Andresen
Taught bitcoind to close the HTTP connection after it gets a 'stop' command, to make it easier for the regression tests to cleanly stop. Move bitcoinrpc files to correct location. Tidied up the python-based regression tests.

We don't use lexical_cast anywhere, no need to include it.

2014-01-23Remove redundant .c_str()sWladimir J. van der Laan
After the tinyformat switch sprintf() family functions support passing actual std::string objects. Remove unnecessary c_str calls (236 of them) in logging and formatting.
2014-01-17qt: allow `walletpassphrase` in debug console without -serverWladimir J. van der Laan
Currently it is only possible to use `walletpassphrase` to unlock the wallet when bitcoin is started in server mode. Almost everything that manipulates the wallet in the RPC console needs the wallet to be unlocked and is thus unusable without -server. This is pretty unintuitive to me, and I'm sure it's even more confusing to users. Solve this with a very minimal change: by making the GUI start a dummy RPC thread just to handle timeouts.
2014-01-11small headers ordering cleanupPhilip Kaufmann
- keep headers in alphabetical order - fix Makefile.am (2 files in 1 line - leftover) - remove some spaces etc.

`settxfee` only affects the wallet, not the block chain.
2013-12-09Allow mining RPCs with --disable-walletWladimir J. van der Laan

2013-12-04Move HelpExample* from rpcwallet to rpcserverWladimir J. van der Laan
General functions used throughout the RPC framework don't belong in rpcwallet.
2013-11-27Split up bitcoinrpc (code movement only)Wladimir J. van der Laan
Split bitcoinrpc up into - rpcserver: bitcoind RPC server - rpcclient: bitcoin-cli RPC client - rpcprotocol: shared common HTTP/JSON-RPC protocol code One step towards making bitcoin-cli independent from the rest of the code, and thus a smaller executable that doesn't have to be linked against leveldb. This commit only does code movement, there are no functional changes.
