* Add nph check to fluffy CI lint
* Add a section on nph usage in the fluffy.guide
* Update copyright years for altered files
* Avoid chained methods formatting style in db code
* Update nph in CI to v0.5
* Remove leftover commented import
* Move comment to avoid nph turning complex list into simple list (nph bug)
* Update nph in CI to v0.5.1
* Formatting fluffy with nph v0.5.1
- Add Era1 helpers to be able to iterate fast over block tuples
and individual total difficulties
- Add buildAccumulator from Era1 file
- Add Era1 based BlockHeader with proof + bodies/receipts gossip
calls
- Add new JSON-RPC debug methods to be able to test the above
with a standalone fluffy node
* Reduce Nim 1.6 compiler warnings/hints for Fluffy and Nimbus proxy
Mostly raises Defect removals, TaintedString removal and some
unnecessary imports.
Also updating the copyright years alongside.
* Further reduce Nim 1.6 compiler warnings/hints for Nimbus
* Fix Portal Hive fails by correcting Portal history JSON RPC API
- Field naming in discv5_nodeInfo
- Call naming of portal_historyStore
- Other: some proc to func adjustements
* Add headers with proof content type and use it for verification
- Add BlockHeaderWithProof content type & content
- Use BlockHeaderWithProof content to verify if chain data is
part of the canonical chain
- Adjust parser & seeder code to be able to seed these headers
with proof
- Adjust eth_data_exporter to be able to export custom header
ranges for which to build proofs (mostly for testing)
There is currently quite some ugliness & clean-up needed for which
a big part is due tos upporting both BlockHeader and
BlockHeaderWithProof on the network.
* Change accumulator proof to array / SSZ vector type
- Change accumulator proof to SSZ vector instead of SSZ list.
- Add and use general buildProof and buildHeaderWithProof func.
* Make the BlockHeaderWithProof an SSZ Union with None option
* Update portal-spec-tests to master commit
- Can write epoch accumulators to files now with eth_data_exporter
- RPC requests to gossip epoch accumulators now uses these files
instead of building on the fly
- Other build accumulator calls are adjusted and only used for
tests and thus moved to testing folder
Also requires us to split header data propagation from block body
and receipts propagation as the now fixed bug would allow for more
data to be gossiped even when data does not get validated (which
requires the headers).
- More consistent naming in calls used by the JSON-RPC debug API
- Use storeContent everywhere to make sure content is only stored
if in range
- Remove populateHistoryDb subcommand and replace by JSON-RPC call
storeContent
- Remove some whitespace and fix some indentations
* Improvements to the propagation and seeding of data
- Use a lookup for nodes selection in neighborhoodGossip
- Rework populate db code and add `propagateBlockHistoryDb` call
and portal_history__propagateBlock json-rpc call
- Small adjustment to blockwalk
* Avoid storing out-of-range data in the propagate db calls
* Sharing block header data around in a Portal history network (PoC)
- Rework PortalStream to have an instance per PortalProtocol (this
needs to be improved eventually). Each instance uses the same
UtpDiscv5Protocol instance.
- Add processContent on receival of accepted data
- Add dumb neighborhoodGossip: dumb in the sense that it only
offers one piece of content at a time.
- Add to / adjust populate_db to also allow for propagation of
the data and add debug rpc call: portal_history_propagate
- Add eth_rpc_client
- Add eth_getBlockbyHash (no txs or uncles) to eth API
- Add additional test to test_portal_testnet which loads 5 block
headers to 1 node, and offers this data to few nodes, which should
propagate it over the network further. Next query every node for
this data.
* Adjust paths on which Fluffy CI is triggered
* Add documentation on the local testnet
