This class groups transactions that have been confirmed in blocks into buckets, based on either their fee or their priority. Then for each bucket, the class calculates what percentage of the transactions were confirmed within various numbers of blocks. It does this by keeping an exponentially decaying moving history for each bucket and confirm block count of the percentage of transactions in that bucket that were confirmed within that number of blocks.
-Eliminate txs which didn't have all inputs available at entry from fee/pri calcs
-Add dynamic breakpoints and tracking of confirmation delays in mempool transactions
-Remove old CMinerPolicyEstimator and CBlockAverage code
-New smartfees.py
-Pass a flag to the estimation code, using IsInitialBlockDownload as a proxy for when we are still catching up and we shouldn't be counting how many blocks it takes for transactions to be included.
-Add a policyestimator unit test

The environment is prepared by the main thread to guard against invalid locale settings and to prevent deinitialization issues of Boost path, which can result in app crashes.
This adds a -checkblockindex (defaulting to true for regtest), which occasionally
does a full consistency check for mapBlockIndex, setBlockIndexCandidates, chainActive, and
mapBlocksUnlinked.
This fixes a subtle bug involving block re-orgs and non-standard transactions.
Start with a block containing a non-standard transaction, and
one or more transactions spending it in the memory pool.
Then re-org away from that block to another chain that does
not contain the non-standard transaction.
Result before this fix: the dependent transactions get stuck
in the mempool without their parent, putting the mempool
in an inconsistent state.
Tested with a new unit test.
Make sure that chainparams and logging is properly initialized. Doing
this for every test may be overkill, but this initialization is so
simple that that does not matter.
This should fix the travis issues.
UNITTEST parameter are not used by any current tests, and the model
(modifyable parameters) is inconvenient when unit-testing. As
they are stored in a global structure eevery test
would have to (re)set up its own parameters.
For consistency it is also better to test with MAIN parameters.
Split GetNextWorkRequired() into two functions to allow the difficulty calculations to
be tested without requiring a full blockchain.
Add unit tests to cover basic difficulty calculation, plus each of the min/max actual
time, and maximum difficulty target conditions.
The fix to NegateSignatureS caused a test which had been failing
in IsValidSignatureEncoding to then fail in IsLowDERSignature.
Add new test so the original check remains exercised.
NegateSignatureS is called with a signature without a hashtype, so
do not save the last byte and append it after S negation.
Updates the two tests which were affected by this bug.
Makes it possible to compactly provide a delibrately invalid signature
for use with CHECK(MULTI)SIG. For instance with BIP19 if m != n invalid
signatures need to be provided in the scriptSig; prior to this change
those invalid signatures would need to be large DER-encoded signatures.
Note that we may want to further expand on this change in the future by
saying that only OP_0 is a "valid" invalid signature; BIP19 even with
this change is inherently malleable as the invalid signatures can be any
validly encoded DER signature.
on rare occasions, rand() was returning duped values, causing duplicate
transactions.
BuildMerkleTree happily used these, but CPartialMerkleTree caught them and
returned a null merkle root.
Rather than taking changes with rand(), use the loop counter to guarantee
unique values.
At sipa's request, also remove the remaining uses of rand().
