- Reduce concurrent reward share limit from 6 to 3 (or from 5 to 2 when including self share) - as per community vote.
- Founders remain at 6 (5 when including self share) - also decided in community vote.
- When all slots are being filled, require that at least one is a self share, so that not all can be used for sponsorship.
- Activates at future undecided timestamp.
This should prevent the failed transactions that are encountered when issuing two or more in a short space of time. Using a feature trigger (hard fork) to release this, to avoid potential consensus confusion around the time of the update (older versions could consider the main chain invalid until updating).
Note: it's important that this timestamp is set on a 1-hour boundary (such as 16:00:00) to ensure a clean switchover.

This is currently for name registration transactions only, but can be adapted (or duplicated) for other transaction types when needed.
Note: this switches from a greater-than (>) to a greater-than-or-equal (>=) timestamp comparison, as it makes more sense this way. It shouldn't affect the previous transition since there were no REGISTER_NAME transactions at that exact timestamp.
This is calculated by the total capacity divided by the number of names the node follows. The idea here is that a single content creator can't upload terabytes of data and consume all the space on their followers' nodes. They can only use a proportion, with equal space given to each followed name. And since the limit is dynamic, following more names reduces the allocation to existing names.
- The "diff type" is now specified per file, allowing for different diff methods in each modified file.
- Patches will only be created when both the before and after files are less than 100kiB in size.
- Patches are validated after creation, and if invalid it will fall back to including the entire file.
This has identified a bug where patching fails for files without trailing newline characters, which still needs to be fixed. Until then, it will fall back to including the entire file in these cases.
This involved adding a feature to the test suite in include the option of using a repository located on disk rather than in memory. Also moved the bootstrap compression/extraction working directories to temporary folders.
- Adds support for minting accounts as well as trade bot states
- Includes automatic import of both types on node startup, and automatic export on node shutdown
- Retains legacy trade bot states in a separate "TradeBotStatesArchive.json" file, whilst keeping the current active ones in "TradeBotStates.json". This prevents states being re-imported after they have been removed, but still keeps a copy of the data in case a key is ever needed.
- Uses indentation in the JSON files for easier readability.
1. Assign 3 minters (one founder, one level 1, one level 2)
2. Mint a block after the shareBinFix, ensuring that level 1 and 2 are being rewarded evenly from the same share bin.
3. Orphan the block and ensure the rewards are reversed.
4. Orphan two more blocks, each time checking that the balances are being reduced in accordance with the pre-shareBinFix mapping.
Post trigger, account levels will map correctly to share bins, subtracting 1 to account for the 0th element of the shareBinsByLevel array.
Pre-trigger, the legacy mapping will remain in effect.
Post trigger, this change will use all 128 bytes of previous block's signature when
calculating/validating next block's "minter" signature (itself the first 64 bytes of a block signature).
Prior to trigger, current behaviour is to only use first 64 bytes of previous block's
signature, which doesn't encompass transactions signature.
New block sig code should help reduce forking and help improve transactional
security.
Added "newBlockSigHeight" to blockchain.json but initially set to block 999999
pending decision on when to merge, auto-update, go-live, etc.
Added altcoinj library as Maven dependency.
Added new Litecoin subclass of Bitcoiny,
with mainnet and testnet ElectrumX server lists.
Added litecoinNet settings variable and getter.
Added LitecoinTests.
Most tests work but testFindHtclSecret()
needs a redeemed HTLC on chain (not yet done).
Added litecoinNet to some test settings files
in resources.
Added Litecoin BuildHTLC, Refund test apps.
Added SendLTC app as Electrum-LTC seems a bit flaky?
So far managed to build HTLC P2SH, fund it and then
refund it!
---
As Bitcoin and Litecoin are both subclasses of Bitcoiny,
could unify some test apps with added Bitcoin/Litecoin
switch as first arg?
Any reward leftover from ditributing to legacy QORA holders is reallocated to either:
founders if any online
or
account-level-based reward candidates, if no founders online
We should get pretty close to 100% block reward distribution, barring rounding artifacts.
More documentation and tests.
Removed BlockChain's founderShare as it is calculated in Block on a per-block basis instead.
Group owner now derived from CREATE_GROUP transaction creator's public key.
Added 'reduced' group name to GroupData, with corresponding change to DB.
Renamed GroupData.getIsOpen() to simply isOpen().
Tidied up CreateGroupTransactionData, adding 'reduced' group name.
Renamed getIsOpen() to simply isOpen().
Added code to generated reduced group name when building genesis block.
Added Group.MIN_NAME_SIZE of 3.
DB tables changed to add reduced_group_name where appropriate,
removing owner where necessary.
Added GroupRepository.reducedGroupNameExists(String).
Fixed up test blockchain configs in src/test/resources/test-chain-v2*.json.
Owner now derived from issuer's public key.
Maximum asset name length reduced to 40 characters.
Repository table changes.
"owner" removed from test blockchain configs and "issuerPublicKey" used instead
where applicable.
Some getters in the form of "getIs___()" renamed to simply "is____()".
Controller no longer starts up BTC support during main startup.
This does mean that BTC startup is deferred until first BTC-related
action, and that the first BTC-related action will take much longer
to complete.
Added tests to cover startup/shutdown.
This also fixes splash logo stuck on-screen and broken Controller
shutdown when using REGTEST bitcoin network AND there is no
local regtest bitcoin server running.
