* 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
- Switch from using Option to Opt which allows for smoother
usage with already existing Result types
- With all moved to Opt, make more use of valueOr to avoid
too many if else clause indentation and unstead have a more
clear error path at each step
- Remove dead code, char limits, style guide, etc.
- Replace getEncodedKeyForContent with ContentKey.init
and use ContentKey.init for each type
* 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
- Add retries when the network request failed on validation of
block header, body or receipts.
- Shuffle the first set of neighbours that the request is send to
in order to not always hit the same peer first for the same content
- Some general clean-up
* Add block bodies to the propagation and lookups
- Read and propagate block bodies next to the headers
- Add block bodies content (via lookups) to the eth_getBlockByHash
call
- Test the above in test_portal_testnet
* Fix storage/propagation of block bodies
- Data format is an actual block: [header, txs, uncles], which
requires some adjustment to store the block body
- Added also `eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash` json rpc call
* 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
- Add basic discv5 and portal json-rpc calls and activate them in
fluffy
- Renames in the rpc folder
- Add local testnet script and run this script in CI
- bump nim-eth
