The consensus-mechanism specific block values have been separated
from the VoteTallyUpdater such that there is a single updater rather
than one per consensus mechanism.
This has necessitated the creation of a custom serialiser/
deserialiser for each mechanism instead.
This change will ultimatley bleed through to the proposed votes and
their insertion to mined blocks.
Update value returned by web3_clientVersion to be ethstats friendly
* Version part starts with a v
* SNAPSHOT builds report 32 bits of the git hash
* OS and architecture are sniffed out and reported
* JVM version and branding are sniffed out and reported
Example values (not all real):
pantheon/v0.9.0-dev-f800a0b1/osx-x86_64/oracle-java-1.8
pantheon/v0.9.0-dev-27960b57/osx-x86_64/zulu-java-11
pantheon/v0.9.0/linux-arm64/openjdk-java-12
fixes#233 Allow nodekey to be specified separately to --datadir
Add a `--node-private-key <FILE>` option on CLI to enable the use of a custom key file.
if not set, uses the default "key" file in the data dir
if set but doesn't exist, creates a new key file
if set and exists, uses the specified key file
* Ban Peers via CLI
As part of working on #251 I needed to be able to ban certain nodes from my
connection pool and let others connect. This is a general solution to add
a --banned-nodeids CLI flag where the nodeIds of banned nodes are listed.
* Introduce ProtocolScheduleBuilder and use it for Clique, MainNet, IBFT and dev.
* Remove default milestone blocks and simplify MainnetProtocolSchedule. All milestone blocks must now be defined in the genesis file (previously ethash chains would get Mainnet milestone blocks by default).
* Make GenesisConfigFile responsible for handling all the content in the genesis config file and rename GenesisConfig to GenesisState as it is now just responsible for creating the initial state at genesis.
* In CliqueProtocolController, pass the network ID to EthProtocolManager instead of the chain ID and use downloader parallelism setting instead of network ID for the number of threads.
* remove the import-blockchain command. Right now it's not useful
enough to support. Maybe it will return in the future.
* Remove the import-blockchain command.
Also remove BlockchainImporter that was backing the command.
* Introduce classes to wrap JSON config instead of accessing it directly in multiple places.
* Fix discrepancy in how CliqueProtocolSchedule and CliquePantheonController loaded the block period configuration.
Previously the getMiningCoordinator() function on the
CliquePantheonController returned 'null' as a stub.
In order for the JSON RPC to operate correctly this function needs
to return the mining coordinator created during PantheonController
initialisation - which is the change introduced through this commit.
The Ibft consensus mechanism is responsible for sending a variety of
messages to other validating nodes in the network (provided they have
a point-to-point connection to them).
This change tracks which nodes have connected to the IBFT
subprotocol, and provides the functionality to only transmit messages
to nodes which are also validators.
* [minor] distribution tweaks
* the 'pantheon:client' project is empty, and results in an empty jar, delete
* clique hard codes a version, delete so the parent takes effect
* clique does not describe it's jar, add description
* evmtools does not describe it's jar, add description.
results in
* clique-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT -> pantheon-clique-0.8.0-RC
* evmtools-0.8.0-SNAPSHOT -> pantheon-evmtools-0.8.0-RC
* client-0.8.0-SNAPSHOT -> *deleted*
* spotless formatting on the gradle file
* comment out the @Option annotation
* eliminate syncModeOptionMustBeUsed
* update to OverrideDefaultValuesIfKeyIsPresentInConfigFile
* unify on comment out approach
