8b56fc0b91[qa] Test that v0 segwit outputs can't be spent pre-activation (Suhas Daftuar)ccb8ca42a4Always enforce SCRIPT_VERIFY_WITNESS with P2SH (Suhas Daftuar)5c31b20a35[qa] Remove some pre-activation segwit tests (Suhas Daftuar)95749a5836Separate NULLDUMMY enforcement from SEGWIT enforcement (Suhas Daftuar)ce650182f4Use P2SH consensus rules for all blocks (Suhas Daftuar) Pull request description: As discussed at the IRC meeting back in October (https://botbot.me/freenode/bitcoin-core-dev/2017-10-12/?msg=92231929&page=2), I had looked into the feasibility of enforcing P2SH and SCRIPT_VERIFY_WITNESS back to the genesis block. The P2SH change is pretty straightforward -- there was only one historical block on mainnet that violated the rule, so I carved out an exception to it, similar to the way we have exceptions for the BIP30 violators. The segwit change is not entirely as clear. The code changes themselves are relatively straightforward: we can just always turn on SCRIPT_VERIFY_WITNESS whenever P2SH is active. However conceptually, this amounts to splitting up BIP141 into two parts, the part that implements new script rules, and the part that handles witness commitments in blocks. Arguably though the script rules are really defined in BIP 143 anyway, and so this really amounts to backdating BIP 143 -- script rules for v0 segwit outputs -- back to genesis. So maybe conceptually this isn't so bad... I don't feel strongly about this change in either direction; I started working on it because I was searching for a way to simplify the way we understand and implement the consensus rules around segwit, but I'm not yet sure whether I think this achieves anything toward that goal. ping @TheBlueMatt Tree-SHA512: 73551d4a983eb9792c7ac67f56005822528ac4d1fd52c27cee6d305ebee953f69687ef4ddee8bdc0fec77f77e6b5a9d669750793efee54c076533a095e233042
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 useable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoin.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.
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 OS X, 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.
