The doc formatting changes introduced in the recent go version is
increasing the diff for all of the new commits. Formatting it all in
this commit will help the readability of future PRs by reducing the
diff.
Fixes a negative index bug that makes the node crash on chain
reorganizations. The bug is detailed in
github.com/btcsuite/btcd/issues/1660.
A better design than just skipping the transaction would make
the fee estimator more accurate and that should implemented
at a later date.
In this commit, we update all the btcutil imports to point to the new
sub-module.
In the same commit, we also modify the recently added `btcutil/go.mod`
file as we need to continue pointing to the _old_ version of btcd, until
we merge this PR and push a new tag.
When you provide an argument to EstimateFee(numblocks uint32) that exceeds the estimateFeeDepth (which is set to 25), you get an error message that says "can only estimate fees for up to 100 blocks from now". The variable used in the if condition and the variable used for creating the error message should be the same.
In this commit, we modify the fee estimation to use vsize as a base
rather than size. A recent commit landed to track the fee rate using
vsize in the mempool, and also correct some incorrect unit math. This is
a follow up to that commit to ensure that fee estimation is uniform
throughout.
This commit changes the value of bytesPerKb to 1000 from 1024.
This is done to ensure consistency between the fee estimator
and the mempool, where the feeRate is set to
fee * 1000 / serializedSize
new txs that it observes. The block manager alerts the fee estimator
of new and orphaned blocks.
Check for invalid state and recreate FeeEstimator if necessary.
Rollback takes a block hash rather than a BlockStamp.
Increase rounds in TestEstimateFeeRollback to test dropping txs that have been in the mempool too long.
