8330e77 monerod can now sync from pruned blocks (moneromooo-monero)
2019-09-27monerod can now sync from pruned blocksmoneromooo-monero1-1/+2
If the peer (whether pruned or not itself) supports sending pruned blocks to syncing nodes, the pruned version will be sent along with the hash of the pruned data and the block weight. The original tx hashes can be reconstructed from the pruned txes and theur prunable data hash. Those hashes and the block weights are hashes and checked against the set of precompiled hashes, ensuring the data we received is the original data. It is currently not possible to use this system when not using the set of precompiled hashes, since block weights can not otherwise be checked for validity. This is off by default for now, and is enabled by --sync-pruned-blocks

2019-03-04ArticMine's new block weight algorithmmoneromooo-monero1-1/+16
This curbs runaway growth while still allowing substantial spikes in block weight Original specification from ArticMine: here is the scaling proposal Define: LongTermBlockWeight Before fork: LongTermBlockWeight = BlockWeight At or after fork: LongTermBlockWeight = min(BlockWeight, 1.4*LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight) Note: To avoid possible consensus issues over rounding the LongTermBlockWeight for a given block should be calculated to the nearest byte, and stored as a integer in the block itself. The stored LongTermBlockWeight is then used for future calculations of the LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight and not recalculated each time. Define: LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight = max(300000, MedianOverPrevious100000Blocks(LongTermBlockWeight)) Change Definition of EffectiveMedianBlockWeight From (current definition) EffectiveMedianBlockWeight = max(300000, MedianOverPrevious100Blocks(BlockWeight)) To (proposed definition) EffectiveMedianBlockWeight = min(max(300000, MedianOverPrevious100Blocks(BlockWeight)), 50*LongTermEffectiveMedianBlockWeight) Notes: 1) There are no other changes to the existing penalty formula, median calculation, fees etc. 2) There is the requirement to store the LongTermBlockWeight of a block unencrypted in the block itself. This is to avoid possible consensus issues over rounding and also to prevent the calculations from becoming unwieldy as we move away from the fork. 3) When the EffectiveMedianBlockWeight cap is reached it is still possible to mine blocks up to 2x the EffectiveMedianBlockWeight by paying the corresponding penalty. Note: the long term block weight is stored in the database, but not in the actual block itself, since it requires recalculating anyway for verification.
2019-01-22Pruningmoneromooo-monero1-0/+62
The blockchain prunes seven eighths of prunable tx data. This saves about two thirds of the blockchain size, while keeping the node useful as a sync source for an eighth of the blockchain. No other data is currently pruned. There are three ways to prune a blockchain: - run monerod with --prune-blockchain - run "prune_blockchain" in the monerod console - run the monero-blockchain-prune utility The first two will prune in place. Due to how LMDB works, this will not reduce the blockchain size on disk. Instead, it will mark parts of the file as free, so that future data will use that free space, causing the file to not grow until free space grows scarce. The third way will create a second database, a pruned copy of the original one. Since this is a new file, this one will be smaller than the original one. Once the database is pruned, it will stay pruned as it syncs. That is, there is no need to use --prune-blockchain again, etc.

008647d7 blockchain_db: speedup tx output gathering (moneromooo-monero)
2019-01-07Make get_output_key method constmoneroexamples1-2/+2
get_output_key method is commonly used when working with txs and their key images. Because the method is not const, passing blockchain object though const& or pointers to const is not possible in this context. This is especially problematic in external projects (e.g., projects in moneroexamples) that use monero C++ api to operate on the blockchain and txs. Thus, having get_output_key method will simplify moving blockchain object around through const references and pointers to const objects.

2018-11-27Outputs where all amounts are known spent can now be prunedmoneromooo-monero1-0/+7
Only for pre rct for obvious reasons. Note: DO NOT use a known spent list which includes outputs which are not known spent. If the list includes any output that's just strongly thought to be spent, but not provably so, you risk finding yourself unable to sync past the point where that output is spent. I estimate only 200 MB saved on current mainnet though, unless the new blackballing rule unearths a good amount of large-amount-set extra spent outs.

10013e94 Protect node privacy by proper filtering in restricted-mode RPC answers (binaryFate)
2017-11-08Protect node privacy by proper filtering in restricted-mode RPC answersbinaryFate1-2/+2
This patch allows to filter out sensitive information for queries that rely on the pool state, when running in restricted mode. This filtering is only applied to data sent back to RPC queries. Results of inline commands typed locally in the daemon are not affected. In practice, when running with `--restricted-rpc`: * get_transaction_pool will list relayed transactions with the fields "last relayed time" and "received time" set to zero. * get_transaction_pool will not list transaction that have do_not_relay set to true, and will not list key images that are used only for such transactions * get_transaction_pool_hashes.bin will not list such transaction * get_transaction_pool_stats will not count such transactions in any of the aggregated values that are computed The implementation does not make filtering the default, so developers should be mindful of this if they add new RPC functionality. Fixes #2590.
2017-11-06track double spending in the txpoolmoneromooo-monero1-1/+2
Transactions in the txpool are marked when another transaction is seen double spending one or more of its inputs. This is then exposed wherever appropriate. Note that being marked with this "double spend seen" flag does NOT mean this transaction IS a double spend and will never be mined: it just means that the network has seen at least another transaction spending at least one of the same inputs, so care should be taken to wait for a few confirmations before acting upon that transaction (ie, mostly of use for merchants wanting to accept unconfirmed transactions).

2016-08-31core: faster find_blockchain_supplementmoneromooo-monero1-1/+2
Since this queries block heights for blocks that may or may not exist, queries for non existing blocks would throw an exception, and that would slow down the loop a lot. 7 seconds to go through a 30 hash list. Fix this by adding an optional return block height to block_exists and using this instead. Actual errors will still throw an exception. This also cuts down on log exception spam.
2016-08-28move the rct commitments to the output_amounts databasemoneromooo-monero1-34/+3
Since these are needed at the same time as the output pubkeys, this is a whole lot faster, and takes less space. Only outputs of 0 amount store the commitment. When reading other outputs, a fake commitment is regenerated on the fly. This avoids having to rewrite the database to add space for fake commitments for existing outputs. This code relies on two things: - LMDB must support fixed size records per key, rather than per database (ie, all records on key 0 are the same size, all records for non 0 keys are same size, but records from key 0 and non 0 keys do have different sizes). - the commitment must be directly after the rest of the data in outkey and output_data_t.

This speeds up wallet refresh by directly retrieving a tx's amount output indices. It removes the indirection and walking the amount output duplicate list for every amount in each requested tx. "tx_outputs" is used by: Amount output indices are needed for wallet refresh. Global output indices are needed for removing a tx. Both amount output indices and global output indices are now stored in an array of 64-bit unsigned ints: tx_outputs[<tx_hash>] -> [ <a1_oi, a1_gi, a2_oi, a2_gi, ...> ] Previously it was: tx_outputs[<tx_hash>] -> duplicate list of <a1_gi, a2_gi, a3_gi, ...> The amount output list had to be walked for every amount in order to find each amount's output index, by comparing the amount's global output index with each one in the duplicate list until a match was found.

An optional vector of amounts may be passed, to request histogram only for those outputs.

Early DB versions did not store key images for inputs if the transaction spending them had no outputs (ie, all fee). This is not correct, as this would allow these outputs to be double spent. This was fixed in 533acc30eda7792c802ea8b6417917fa99b8bc2b a few months ago, but databases having synced blocks 2021612 and 685498 with a faulty version will be missing those key images in the spent keys database.

Optim: Cache difficulty/timestamps (735 blocks) for next-difficulty calculations so that only 2 db reads per new block is needed when a new block arrives (instead of 1470 reads). Berkeley-DB: 1. Fix: 32-bit data errors causing wrong output global indices and failure to send blocks to peers (etc). 2. Fix: Unable to pop blocks on reorganize due to transaction errors. 3. Patch: Large number of transaction aborts when running multi-threaded bulk queries. 4. Patch: Insufficient locks error when running full sync. 5. Patch: Incorrect db stats when returning from an immediate exit from "pop block" operation. 6. Optim: Add bulk queries to get output global indices. 7. Optim: Modified output_keys table to store public_key+unlock_time+height for single transaction lookup (vs 3) 8. Optim: Used output_keys table retrieve public_keys instead of going through output_amounts->output_txs+output_indices->txs->output:public_key 9. Optim: Added thread-safe buffers used when multi-threading bulk queries. 10. Optim: Added support for nosync/write_nosync options for improved performance (*see --db-sync-mode option for details) 11. Mod: Added checkpoint thread and auto-remove-logs option. 12. *Now usable on 32-bit systems like RPI2. LMDB: 1. Optim: Added custom comparison for 256-bit key tables (minor speed-up, TBD: get actual effect) 2. Optim: Modified output_keys table to store public_key+unlock_time+height for single transaction lookup (vs 3) 3. Optim: Used output_keys table retrieve public_keys instead of going through output_amounts->output_txs+output_indices->txs->output:public_key 4. Optim: Added support for sync/writemap options for improved performance (*see --db-sync-mode option for details) 5. Mod: Auto resize to +1GB instead of multiplier x1.5 ETC: 1. Minor optimizations for slow-hash for ARM (RPI2). Incomplete. 2. Fix: 32-bit saturation bug when computing next difficulty on large blocks. [PENDING ISSUES] 1. Berkely db has a very slow "pop-block" operation. This is very noticeable on the RPI2 as it sometimes takes > 10 MINUTES to pop a block during reorganization. This does not happen very often however, most reorgs seem to take a few seconds but it possibly depends on the number of outputs present. TBD. 2. Berkeley db, possible bug "unable to allocate memory". TBD. [NEW OPTIONS] (*Currently all enabled for testing purposes) 1. --fast-block-sync arg=[0:1] (default: 1) a. 0 = Compute long hash per block (may take a while depending on CPU) b. 1 = Skip long-hash and verify blocks based on embedded known good block hashes (faster, minimal CPU dependence) 2. --db-sync-mode arg=[[safe|fast|fastest]:[sync|async]:[nblocks_per_sync]] (default: fastest:async:1000) a. safe = fdatasync/fsync (or equivalent) per stored block. Very slow, but safest option to protect against power-out/crash conditions. b. fast/fastest = Enables asynchronous fdatasync/fsync (or equivalent). Useful for battery operated devices or STABLE systems with UPS and/or systems with battery backed write cache/solid state cache. Fast - Write meta-data but defer data flush. Fastest - Defer meta-data and data flush. Sync - Flush data after nblocks_per_sync and wait. Async - Flush data after nblocks_per_sync but do not wait for the operation to finish. 3. --prep-blocks-threads arg=[n] (default: 4 or system max threads, whichever is lower) Max number of threads to use when computing long-hash in groups. 4. --show-time-stats arg=[0:1] (default: 1) Show benchmark related time stats. 5. --db-auto-remove-logs arg=[0:1] (default: 1) For berkeley-db only. Auto remove logs if enabled. **Note: lmdb and berkeley-db have changes to the tables and are not compatible with official git head version. At the moment, you need a full resync to use this optimized version. [PERFORMANCE COMPARISON] **Some figures are approximations only. Using a baseline machine of an i7-2600K+SSD+(with full pow computation): 1. The optimized lmdb/blockhain core can process blocks up to 585K for ~1.25 hours + download time, so it usually takes 2.5 hours to sync the full chain. 2. The current head with memory can process blocks up to 585K for ~4.2 hours + download time, so it usually takes 5.5 hours to sync the full chain. 3. The current head with lmdb can process blocks up to 585K for ~32 hours + download time and usually takes 36 hours to sync the full chain. Averate procesing times (with full pow computation): lmdb-optimized: 1. tx_ave = 2.5 ms / tx 2. block_ave = 5.87 ms / block memory-official-repo: 1. tx_ave = 8.85 ms / tx 2. block_ave = 19.68 ms / block lmdb-official-repo (0f4a036437fd41a5498ee5e74e2422ea6177aa3e) 1. tx_ave = 47.8 ms / tx 2. block_ave = 64.2 ms / block **Note: The following data denotes processing times only (does not include p2p download time) lmdb-optimized processing times (with full pow computation): 1.

2015-03-25Steps toward multiple dbs available -- workingThomas Winget1-2/+4
There will need to be some more refactoring for these changes to be considered complete/correct, but for now it's working. new daemon cli argument "--db-type", works for LMDB and BerkeleyDB. A good deal of refactoring is also present in this commit, namely Blockchain no longer instantiates BlockchainDB, but rather is passed a pointer to an already-instantiated BlockchainDB on init().
2015-03-16Add support for database open with flagswarptangent1-1/+1
Add support to: - BlockchainDB, BlockchainLMDB - blockchain_import utility to open LMDB database with one or more LMDB flags. Sample use: $ blockchain_import --database lmdb#nosync $ blockchain_import --database lmdb#nosync,nometasync
2015-03-13BlockchainDB implementations have names nowThomas Winget1-0/+3
In order to make things more general, BlockchainDB now has get_db_name() which should return a string with the "name" of that type of db. This "name" will be the subfolder name that holds that db type's files within the monero folder. Small bugfix: blockchain_converter was not correctly appending this in the prior hard-coded-string implementation of the subfolder data directory concept.
2015-03-06Moved BlockchainDB into its own src/ subfolderThomas Winget1-0/+487
Ostensibly janitorial work, but should be more relevant later down the line. Things that depend on core cryptonote things (i.e. cryptonote_core) don't necessarily depend on BlockchainDB and thus have no need to have BlockchainDB baked in with them.
