* Start the process of refactoring our ChainHandler to be able to avoid database calls on TipValidation WIP: Begin explicity passing state back and forth in return types of PeerMessageReceiver, P2PClient, , DataMessageHandler. This commit also implements the ability to keep our blockchain completely in memory. Previously when we were updating the tip of the chain, we had to make a database read to figure out what the best tips are. This is suboptimal for performance because a database read needs to be done for every block header we see, now we just keep the chain in memory Fix bug in DataMessageHandler that pre-emptively sent a getheadersmsg to our peer. Make 'chainApiF' internal to our spvNode (not a parameter). This forces the chainApi to be created from disk everytime a new SpvNode is spun up. This keeps us in sync with the blockchain at disk at the cost of disk access and less modularity of SpvNode Address torkel code review Fix rebase issues Address code review Address nadav code review * Rebase onto master, fix api changes |

Philosphy of testkit
The high level of of the bitcoin-s testkit is to mimic provide functionality to test 3rd party applications.
There are other examples of these in the Scala ecosystem like the akka-testkit and slick-testkit.
We use this testkit to test bitcoin-s it self. For instance, our BitcoindRpcClient is tested with the functionality provided in the testkit. A quick example of a useful utility method is BitcoindRpcTestUtil.startedBitcoindRpcClient(). This spins up a bitcoind regtest instance on machine and generates 101 blocks on that node. This gives you the abililty to start spending money immediately with that bitcoind node.
We have similar utility methods for eclair.
Property based testing
There is also a robust set of generators available in the org.bitcoins.testkit.gen package. This allows you to integrate property based testing into your library and feel confident about implementing your application specific logic correctly.
You can see examples of us using these generators inside of testkit in our Private Key test cases
