This is from https://github.com/zcash/zcash/issues/2955
and will potentially allow HushList protocol to send
up to 512*54 = 27KB of memo data to a single address without
requiring a multipart protocol. This is possible because
all memos will share the same txid and can be uniquely identified
and ordered by their transaction output index.
Previously various user-facing strings have used inconsistent currency units "BTC",
"btc" and "bitcoins". This adds a single constant and uses it for each reference to
the currency unit.
Also adds a description of the unit for --maxtxfee, and adds the missing "amount"
field description to the (deprecated) move RPC command.
Requires placing block-107134.tar.gz (containing the block, and a fake CoinsDB
containing its inputs) into the base directory of the repository. This can be
generated using qa/zcash/create_benchmark_archive.py (see the script for usage
details).
To facilitate generation of the fake CoinsDB, an additional field 'valueZat' has
been added to 'getrawtransaction' containing the integer number of zatoshis
instead of a decimal number of ZEC.
Closes#2355.
- Add an accept test for zero amounts, and a reject test for negative
amounts
- Remove ugly hack in `settxfee` that is no longer necessary
- Do explicit zero checks in wallet RPC functions
- Don't add a check for zero amounts in `createrawtransaction` - this
could be seen as a feature
- implement find_value() function for UniValue
- replace all Array/Value/Object types with UniValues, remove JSON Spirit to UniValue wrapper
- remove JSON Spirit sources
Previously the RPC interface allowed z_exportwallet, backupwallet and
dumpwallet to write data to an arbitrary filename. ZCA-009 demonstrates
how this is vulnerable. The resolution is to only allow data to
written when the -exportdir has been configured. Also filenames are
restricted to alphanumeric characters.
