Any projects which want to use Hush code from now on will need to be licensed as
GPLv3 or we will send the lawyers: https://www.softwarefreedom.org/
Notably, Komodo (KMD) is licensed as GPLv2 and is no longer compatible to receive
code changes, without causing legal issues. MIT projects, such as Zcash, also cannot pull
in changes from the Hush Full Node without permission from The Hush Developers,
which may in some circumstances grant an MIT license on a case-by-case basis.
The wallet now only stores Sapling extended spending keys, and thus can
only be used with keys generated from an HDSeed via ZIP 32.
Note that not all Sapling keys in the wallet will correspond to the
wallet's HDSeed, as a standalone Sapling xsk can be imported via
z_importkey. However, it must have been generated from a seed itself,
and thus is more likely to be backed up elsewhere.
After discussion in #7164 I think this is better.
Max tip age was introduced in #5987 to make it possible to run
testnet-in-a-box. But associating this behavior with the testnet chain
is wrong conceptually, as it is not needed in normal usage.
Should aim to make testnet test the software as-is.
Replace it with a (debug) option `-maxtipage`, which can be
specified only in the specific case.
- added method SetCheckpointData for CChainParams.
- as we can't check asset it or not in CMainParams() constructor, because command line arguments don't initialized at that time, we will execute SetCheckpointData in chainparams_commandline later.
changes was tested in komodo-qt wallet, but additional tests wouldn't be superfluous.
No longer relevant after #5957. This hack existed because of another
hack where the numthreads parameter, on regtest, doubled as how many
blocks to generate.
I've never liked the chain-specific exception to having to set a
password. It gives issues with #6388 which makes it valid to
set no password in every case (as it enables random cookie authentication).
This pull removes the flag, so that all chains are regarded the same.
It also removes the username==password test, which doesn't provide any
substantial extra security.
