1  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: regtest specific port don't seems to work on: February 05, 2019, 07:12:38 AM
It seems is the problem of my editor or something
Seems like it just read the eof so do not execute the port and rpcport command

Hi,

What is your OS ? Where is located your conf file ?

I use Ubuntu in virtual box like you. Make sure that your .bitcoin directory is in /home/<os_username>.  Otherwise if it not here specify it with :
Code:
bitcoind -datadir=<data_directory>
For the editor I'm not sure but try it with gedit which is on Ubuntu. There are way better editors but test with it if you think the problem is because of your editor.

thanks but still not work
still get
tcp6       0      0 ::1:18332               :::*                    LISTEN      27578/bitcoind  
tcp6       0      0 :::18444                :::*                    LISTEN      27578/bitcoind  
 though i can make it work by typing command bitcoind -daemon -port=8333

I did the same way but got :

Code:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name

tcp6       0      0 :::16444                :::*                    LISTEN      15741/bitcoind    

in my bitcoin.conf :
Code:
dns=0
dnsseed=0
regtest=1
port=8335
rpcport=8336
It worked fine. Which version you're using? Mine is 0.17.1.
I disabled DNS for some reasons but It doesn't play a part here.
By the way, I changed some default port numbers but the two that I set in bitcoin.conf work fine.

Hi,

Thank you for all your amazing guides. I read all that and do exactly as you said. Great guides in every way.

But the testnet has a lower hashrate of 62 TH/s, which requires just 2 or 3 ASIC mining rigs to take control and perform the 51% attack on the testnet successfully.

In fact I reduced difficulty of whole network and created my private chain. I'm currently mining on that which  is good enough to implement 51% attack quickly, and also uses all main net functions.
 
Quote
But you could try using regtest mode in the bitcoind application to test your own local blockchain with such kind of attacks.

yes, I know but simulating these attacks require creating two blocks at the same time which the fake chain is longer that the true chain. Since for test I mine with bitcoin built-in miner I have no idea how to create two blocks at the same time. There is always a delay(at least in timestamp). Son the step by step scenario seemed a bit confusing at first sight.

Quote
I don't get your point. Why should you disconnect your node to carry out 51% attack? Am I missing something here  Huh

Because I thought I couldn't generate blocks simultaneously, It crossed my mind that I can develop a fake chain offline by disconnecting that node from chain, then by reconnecting  to the main chain. The fake chain which is longer is accepted. I'm not sure about it. Just an idea.   
5  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / How 51% attack is deterministically implemented on testnet? on: January 28, 2019, 05:05:25 AM
Just for scientific reasons!

How 51% attack is implemented on testnet. I want to see the results visually ?
Is disconnecting one node from chain for some time will do the it properly or other nodes recognize it once it is added to the chain ?

Finally I got the answer!
As I previously said you can use legacy addresses but it is not a long term viable solution. You should fork 0.17+.

Thank you for all the help. I truly appreciate it.
No problem  Smiley

But It's still ambiguous to me why segwit address would fail creating block....
Because Segwit was not activated yet so you could not add Segwit transactions in a block.
"segwit address would fail creating block" : this is not the address which creates a block, it is the software. Block generation is (almost) unrelated to addresses.

I forked 0.17.1 and applied all my changes again(segwit activated by default), still didn't work with segwit addresses. This is strange!

which version of bitcoin-core did you fork ?
First, thank you so much for the help. I forked 16.2 from branch master. I mined coinbase transactions till 12 blocks further also but didn't work. I try to use legacy addresses and let you know ASAP. Thanks again!
Ah ! I think in 0.16, this is when Segwit had to be voted, and was treated as always active in 0.17. It should work with legacy addresses, and you should fork 0.17(.1) if you want to have it activated by default.

Legacy start with 1  segwit starts with 3.

You should be able to launch the client with legacy addressing.

add this to your .conf file.

Code:
addresstype=legacy

It should then launch with legacy addressing.

Thank you so much!!!

I did exactly as you said, forked from 0.17.1 . Same thing in the same place happened.Sad By legacy addresses do you mean the ones that starts with 3.. or 1... ? . Bitcoin core wallet doesn't generate the ones that start with 1... . Is there any online generators ? I searched and found nothing.

What are peer magic values ? I don't know anything about them.
They are also called "magic bytes", these are bytes set that every message will start with so we can see that the data on the wire is a Bitcoin message. They are set to :
Code:
pchMessageStart[0] = 0xf9;
pchMessageStart[1] = 0xbe;
pchMessageStart[2] = 0xb4;
pchMessageStart[3] = 0xd9;
Link to the code

What is weird is that your nodes are connected, you can mine and blocks are transmitted. However when mining tx from the mempool are not added to the bloc the software is generating. I would recommend that you add some "LogPrintf()" in the mining code (which is located here) and then you do everything again, after having compiled. Then you would see informations about what is going on in "~/.bitcoin/debug.log". I don't have time to help you right now but I will if you haven't achieved it till then.

Thanks for the hint. I did as you said and found something! The problem rises when  "TestPackageTransactions()" in miner.cpp returns false in this line : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/c6806ee8694e9c864a29ef260c87b9fed77de84f/src/miner.cpp#L217
I tried to comment it so that it could accept my block but then "TestBlockValidity()" in validation.cpp threw an error in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/c6806ee8694e9c864a29ef260c87b9fed77de84f/src/validation.cpp#L3594.
Then I tried to comment where this function was used. Then I got error in mining.cpp here : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/rpc/mining.cpp#L144
If I comment this line as well I won't be able to mine anything and my balance doesn't not change.

It seems the  network doesn't accept my block as a valid block. I wonder why,It may have something to do with witness but it's all ambiguous to me !!!!

Link to my project with logs and without commenting those functions mentioned above : https://github.com/chameleon1239/bitcoin.git

The most weird thing is that it works for first transaction, then doesn't work for the second one. Then it works for third one and so on.
Please if you find some time take a look at it. I'll appreciate it so much.

Thanks a lot for all the help. I will certainly do that and let you know.Do you think I can solve it in two days? I have a deadline by that time.
14  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: My transactions get stuck in memory pool !!! on: January 09, 2019, 07:32:48 PM
You will want to change the values to random non common ascii in chainparams.cpp

Code:
$ python
>>> import random
>>> hex(random.randint(127,255))
'0xd9'

Code:
pchMessageStart[0] = 0xf9;
pchMessageStart[1] = 0xbe;
pchMessageStart[2] = 0xb4;
pchMessageStart[3] = 0xd9;    <---- do all 4

Try this recompile and test again.

I already did that. I f you look at my code there are randome generated values for these parameters.
15  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: My transactions get stuck in memory pool !!! on: January 09, 2019, 03:05:10 AM
Are you sure your transaction is in the mempool ? Try
Code:
getrawmempool 1
Hi, yes. I'm pretty sure. I used the command(It works without 1) and  I got that transaction ID. If you run it too, you can see it. Very strange!


The `1` parameter was in order to get more details http://chainquery.com/bitcoin-api/getrawmempool . It is indeed very strange, don't you modify any part of the code ? How did you set up the network ?

I just changed some things according to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3345808.msg35016844#msg35016844 guide.Created a new genesis block according to my new difficulty(nBits) which was  0x1f0fffff and powLimit in chainparams.cpp was changed to  0x000ffff...f .Also commented this line in mining.cpp :

Code:
if (IsInitialBlockDownload())
        throw JSONRPCError(RPC_CLIENT_IN_INITIAL_DOWNLOAD, "Bitcoin is downloading blocks...");

Finally changed coinbase maturity to 10.


I guess you changed the peer magic values?
If your running in VM's on the same machine you may have firewall issues?

Post the outputs of the following in code tags from both consoles.

getmininginfo
getpeerinfo
getrawtransaction <TXIDHERE>

Are you sure your transaction is in the mempool ? Try
Code:
getrawmempool 1
Hi, yes. I'm pretty sure. I used the command(It works without 1) and  I got that transaction ID. If you run it too, you can see it. Very strange!


The `1` parameter was in order to get more details http://chainquery.com/bitcoin-api/getrawmempool . It is indeed very strange, don't you modify any part of the code ? How did you set up the network ?

I just changed some things according to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3345808.msg35016844#msg35016844 guide.Created a new genesis block according to my new difficulty(nBits) which was  0x1f0fffff and powLimit in chainparams.cpp was changed to  0x000ffff...f .Also commented this line in mining.cpp :

Code:
if (IsInitialBlockDownload())
        throw JSONRPCError(RPC_CLIENT_IN_INITIAL_DOWNLOAD, "Bitcoin is downloading blocks...");

Finally changed coinbase maturity to 10.
17  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / My transactions get stuck in memory pool !!! on: January 08, 2019, 08:15:13 AM
Several weeks ago I asked same question. I created my private chain with a very low difficulty (for implementing some tests) and when testing the network and creating transactions they get lost some how!!! Here's a scenario with images attached:

1. I created two node s on same machine, mined one of them till my custom coinbase maturity (I changed it to 10 blocks).
2. I made a transaction from first node to second node (2 btcs), then mined it with second node using command "generate  1". Till this stage it worked fine. See the image for results (first node is in the left and second node is in the right):



3.In this stage no matter from which side I create transactions. It gets stuck in memory  pool. No matter how hard i try to mine it, no peer would  add it to the chain. I created another transaction from first node to second node. See the picture.



I don't this the problem is with fee because with enough fee I still have the problem.
The link to my repository  is : https://github.com/chameleon1239/bitcoin.git

Any one has any idea? I didn't change the source code for confirming transactions  or memory pool.
18  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Questions around operation of bitcoin with no blocks and dns disabled.. on: December 17, 2018, 02:29:54 PM
Stuck in what way? Is the transaction in the mempool but not being mined? Or is it in one node's mempool but not the other's?

I solved it somehow Smiley . The only problem that I have now is that imagine I have only two peers on my machine and I send several bitcoins to the other in two separate transactions. but the I mine them manually. Only the last one gets confirmed and the other one remains in mempool, even If I mine several blocks, It would be still in mempool. Why is that happening ?

Sencondly, fallbackfee  estimation is not working for my chain, I have to set it manually. What could be the reason?

Thanks a lot

Just two more questions.

1.What exactly is the use of "IsInitialBloackDownlaod()" in mining.cpp. For my chain which is pretty new, If I want to check the block template, the functions returns true and I get
Code:
error -10 : Bitcoin is downloading blocks.
Is it same for
This is to prevent people from mining when they are out of sync. If you mine when out of sync, then you can cause a chain fork.

2. What is nMinimumChainWork and how it is calculated initially ?
ChainWork is the sum of all of the difficulties of all of the blocks in the blockchain. nMinimumChainWork is the chainwork for a specific block and is used during the initial sync as a safety check.

3. When Bicoin gui starts up, It says I'm 5 weeks behind.I forked bitcoin completely disabled DNS seeds. There's no reason for it. Why I get the message?
DNS is completely unrelated to this whatsoever. DNS seeds are used for finding nodes to connect to. It has nothing to do with you being behind.

The message appears because the software thinks you are out of sync. The most recent block is 5 weeks old and the software is expecting there to be more recent blocks. It has no way of knowing that there are not more recent blocks, but it assumes that there is because in Bitcoin, blocks are still being produced when you are offline.

Thanks a lot. It was very helpful. Do you know why transactions between nodes get stuck in memory pool? It's like they are never sent to receiver.

What version are you testing with.

In v0.5.1 there is the above line in main.cpp might be helpful.

I'm using 0.16.2. I reduced coinbase maturity to 10 blocks for testing.
