Pull request description:

  New nodes starting up for the first time lack protection against DoS from low-difficulty headers. While checkpoints serve as our protection against headers that fork from the main chain below the known checkpointed values, this protection only applies to nodes that have been able to download the honest chain to the checkpointed heights.

  We can protect all nodes from DoS from low-difficulty headers by adopting a different strategy: before we commit to storing a header in permanent storage, first verify that the header is part of a chain that has sufficiently high work (either `nMinimumChainWork`, or something comparable to our tip). This means that we will download headers from a given peer twice: once to verify the work on the chain, and a second time when permanently storing the headers.

  The p2p protocol doesn't provide an easy way for us to ensure that we receive the same headers during the second download of peer's headers chain. To ensure that a peer doesn't (say) give us the main chain in phase 1 to trick us into permanently storing an alternate, low-work chain in phase 2, we store commitments to the headers during our first download, which we validate in the second download.

  Some parameters must be chosen for commitment size/frequency in phase 1, and validation of commitments in phase 2. In this PR, those parameters are chosen to both (a) minimize the per-peer memory usage that an attacker could utilize, and (b) bound the expected amount of permanent memory that an attacker could get us to use to be well-below the memory growth that we'd get from the honest chain (where we expect 1 new block header every 10 minutes).

  After this PR, we should be able to remove checkpoints from our code, which is a nice philosophical change for us to make as well, as there has been confusion over the years about the role checkpoints play in Bitcoin's consensus algorithm.

  Thanks to Pieter Wuille for collaborating on this design.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree

https://bitcoincore.org

For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.

What is Bitcoin Core?

Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.

Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.

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 (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

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. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make 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.
