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.
170004 is the protocol version for the NODE_BLOOM change, which is being
"released" in this RC. The activation height is being set in the final release,
which means that we may end up with both RC and final release versions online
when Overwinter activates. Bumping the protocol version for Overwinter enables
RC nodes to be correctly disconnected.
- 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.
Clean up the code in chainparams a bit more after the recent
refactorings. In particular, make sure the structure of the "RegTest"
params matches the structure of the other classes. This makes the code
clearer to read.
Also remove redundant values of the genesis block in always-specified
optional arguments and mark variable/argument as "const".
If/when CTransaction::CURRENT_VERSION is incremented, this will break CChainParams and the miner tests. This fix sets the transaction version explicitly where we depend on the hash value (genesis block, proof of work checks).
