A particular attack which encouraged us to work on this issue is explained here [[Erebus Attack against Bitcoin Peer-to-Peer Network](https://erebus-attack.comp.nus.edu.sg/)] (by @muoitranduc) Instead of relying on /16 prefix to diversify the connections every node creates, we would instead rely on the (ip -> ASN) mapping, if this mapping is provided. A .map file can be created by every user independently based on a router dump, or provided along with the Bitcoin release. Currently we use the python scripts written by @sipa to create a .map file, which is no larger than 2MB (awesome!). Here I suggest adding a field to peers.dat which would represent a hash of asmap file used while serializing addrman (or 0 for /16 prefix legacy approach). In this case, every time the file is updated (or grouping method changed), all buckets will be re-computed. I believe that alternative selective re-bucketing for only updated ranges would require substantial changes. TODO: - ~~more unit tests~~ - ~~find a way to test the code without including >1 MB mapping file in the repo.~~ - find a way to check that mapping file is not corrupted (checksum?) - comments and separate tests for asmap.cpp - make python code for .map generation public - figure out asmap distribution (?) ~Interesting corner case: I’m using std::hash to compute a fingerprint of asmap, and std::hash returns size_t. I guess if a user updates the OS to 64-bit, then the hash of asap will change? Does it even matter?~ ACKs for top commit: laanwj: re-ACK 3c1bc40205a3fcab606e70b0e3c13d68b2860e34 jamesob: ACK 3c1bc40205a3fcab606e70b0e3c13d68b2860e34 ([`jamesob/ackr/16702.3.naumenkogs.p2p_supplying_and_using`](https://github.com/jamesob/bitcoin/tree/ackr/16702.3.naumenkogs.p2p_supplying_and_using)) jonatack: ACK 3c1bc40205a3fcab606e70b0e3c13d68b2860e34 Tree-SHA512: e2dc6171188d5cdc2ab2c022fa49ed73a14a0acb8ae4c5ffa970172a0365942a249ad3d57e5fb134bc156a3492662c983f74bd21e78d316629dcadf71576800c
Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
