In order to ensure that the change of nVersion to a uint32_t in the
previous commit has no effect, rename nVersion to version in this commit
so that reviewers can easily spot if a spot was missed or if there is a
check somewhere whose semantics have changed.
Running the miner under python >= 3.12 causes a SyntaxWarning. The problem was
already present in previous versions, but it only triggered a
DeprecationWarning, which was not shown by default.
The change is useful for future-proofing the code base, since future python
versions will start to exit with a runtime exception (see the reference given
later).
Command to see the warning at runtime under python3.11 (DeprecationWarning,
needs "-Walways"):
$ python3.11 -Walways ./contrib/signet/miner

Reference ( https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/re.html ):
Regular expressions use the backslash character ('\') [...]. This collides
with Python’s usage of the same character for the same purpose in string
literals; [...]
Also, please note that any invalid escape sequences in Python’s usage of the
backslash in string literals now generate a DeprecationWarning and in the
future this will become a SyntaxError.
The solution is to use Python’s raw string notation for regular expression
patterns;
61bb4e783b lint: enable E722 do not use bare except (Leonardo Lazzaro)
Pull request description:
Improve test code and enable E722 lint check.
If you want to catch all exceptions that signal program errors, use except Exception: (bare except is equivalent to except BaseException:).

Our required Python version 3.6.12 does not support `capture_output` as
a subprocess.run argument; this was added in python 3.7.
We can emulate it by setting stdout and stderr to subprocess.PIPE
PSBT signing was changed to use SIGHASH_DEFAULT by default in #22514.
The signet miner script sets the sighash type of the created PSBT to
SIGHASH_ALL, hence this leads to a sighash mismatch when the
`walletprocesspsbt` RPC is called. Fix this by explicitly passing the
correct sighash type.
Note that the same change was needed in one of our functional tests,
see commit d3992669df.
Reported by gruve-p.
As the faucet will always ask for a captcha now, the current script is
no longer usable.
Change the script to print the captcha in dot-matrix to the terminal,
using unicode Braille characters.
42dbd9025a contrib: return non-zero status if getcoins.py errors (Sebastian Falbesoner)
8c203cf0e1 contrib: catch bitcoin-cli RPC call errors in getcoins.py (Sebastian Falbesoner)
0eca5ebace contrib: refactor: introduce bitcoin-cli RPC call helper in getcoins.py (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
This PR is based on #22565 ("[script] signet's getcoins.py improvements"), which should be reviewed first.
The signet faucet script `contrib/signet/getcoins.py` currently issues bitcoin-cli RPC calls without catching errors -- the only case tackled is if there is no `bitcoin-cli` file found. Instead of crashing with a stack-trace on a failed RPC call, the changes in this PR aim to produce a more user-friendly output (see also https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22565#discussion_r683754875). Additionally, in case of any error, a non-zero status is now returned (instead of 0, indicating success), which could be useful for other scripts taking use of signet faucet script.
The most straight-forward way to test this is invoking the script without a `bitcoind` running on signet:

1c612b274b [script] Update signet getcoins.py for custom network (NikhilBartwal)
Pull request description:
Currently, using the getcoins.py with a custom signet executes successfully and shows the transfer of 0.001 testBTC as complete, however for obvious reasons, it should not. In fact, upon verification it does not actually execute the transaction, but rather gives the output that it did, as shown below which can be misleading:

This PR adds a sanity check for custom signet by comparing the current network's first block hash (the block after the genesis block) with global signet's respective block hash (since all signet networks share the same genesis block) and if a custom network is detected, the user is prompted to either work on the global signet or setup their own faucet.
The PR was checked to be working successfully, giving the output as below:

The global faucet cannot be used with a custom Signet network. Please use the global signet or setup your custom faucet for the same.

Currently, using the getcoins.py with a custom signet executes successfully and shows the transaction as complete, however for obvious reasons, it should not.
This PR adds a sanity check for custom signet by comparing the current network's first block hash with global signet's respective hash.
When mining the first block of a new signet chain, pick a timestamp for
the first block so that after mining 100 blocks the timestamp will be
back to the current time -- this prevents an unnecessary delay before
any miner rewards have matured enough to be spent. This takes into
account that the delta between blocks may be shorter than 10 minutes due
to attempting to increase the difficulty to match --nbits, but does not
take into account the time spent actually generating the 100 blocks.
