* ssz: update to 0.5.1:ish
* slightly fewer seq allocations
* still a lot of potential for optimization
* fixes#174
* ssz: avoid reallocating leaves (logN merkle impl)
* update processExits to 0.5.1
* mark process_deposit, get_empty_block as 0.5.1; update get_genesis_beacon_state to 0.5.1; implement processDeposits
* hotfix via https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/pull/821
* rm gone-in-0.5.0 Proposal, verifyBlockSignature, and slot check which moved to spec function processBlockHeader
* mark get_attestation_participants and get_epoch_committee_count as 0.5.1; finish updating processAttestations to 0.5.1; add kludgy workaround for bug relating to get_winning_roots_etc using crosslink_data_root as index when we have that as ZERO_HASH for all leading to it confusing attesters on different shards; rm BeaconState.latest_attestations, which splits into previous_epoch_attestations and current_epoch_attestations
* Fix CI due to removed latest_attestations field
* add simple bitfield type (fixes#19)
* fix bit endianess to match spec
* consolidate attestation and block logging
* cruft cleanup
* run optimizer on tests, speeds up build
* begin refactoring 0.5.0 epoch transition at justification and finalization
* update processTransfers to 0.5.0 spec
* update get_crosslink_committees_at_slot to 0.5.0 except for noted workaround for pre-0.5.0 spec bug related to epoch boundary conditions, to be flipped in more coordinated way with other epoch processing changes
* mark ejection processing as 0.5.0
* 0.5.0 epoch update finalization
* rm BEACON_CHAIN_SHARD_NUMBER to complete updating miscellaneous constants to 0.5.0
* mark verify_slashable_attestation as 0.5.0
* update process_attester_slashing to 0.5.0
* update process_slashings(...) to 0.5.0 and mark process_exit_queue as 0.5.0
* refactor epoch processing by implementing 0.5.0's update_registry_and_shuffling_data(...)
With these changes, running a simulation is very close to running
an actual testnet. Some checks have been added in the client to
make sure you are not connecting to an incompatible network (e.g.
a network running with a different number of shards).
* begin 0.5.0 spec update: parent_root -> previous_block_root, BeaconState.justified_epoch -> BeaconState.current_justified_epoch, DOMAIN_PROPOSAL -> DOMAIN_BEACON_BLOCK, temporarily rename BeaconBlockHeader to BeaconBlockHeaderRLP to allow for gradual re-merging without disrupting RLP; mark a few unchanged functions and data types, implement get_temporary_block_header/get_empty_block/should_update_validator_registry/processBlockHeader/cacheState; update a few others
* a dozen or so more trivial mostly comment changes, finding more unchanged parts of 0.5.0
* several more trivial changes; goal is to reduce noise around the upcoming substantial changes (epoch processing, etc)
* remove some redundant state updates
* when attesting late, use correct state / head
* don't send out obsolete attestations
* don't propose obsolete blocks
* remove some more resundant state updates :)
* simplify block logging (experimental)
* document fork choice division
* fix some Slot / Epoch conversion warnings
* keep track of a finalized block
* keep track of all justified blocks
* use naive spec version of LMD ghost
* cache slot number and a few more things in BlockRef
* keep track of the latest vote of each validator
* depend less on the state of node.state (it's a cache, effectively)
To enable it, comment out the 'withLibp2p' line in nim.cfg
The history was squashed in order to remove an accidentally
commited binary file.
Other changes:
* SSZ was adapted to use the common serialization framework
* gossibsup.subscribe is not using async handlers at the moment
and this allowed me to simplify it
* set epoch_boundary_root - chain finalizes!
* fix slotStart to offset GENESIS_SLOT
* work around bug that will be fixed by
https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/pull/732
* compile with debug info (there was a GC-related crash in C land)
* fix state db lookup typo
* fix randao reveal slot when proposing blocks
* only store blocks that can be applied to a state
* store state at every epoch boundary (yes, needs pruning!)
* split out state advancement function when there's no block
* default state sim to 0.9 attestation ratio
* processEpoch 5x faster, total 2x faster, with 16k validators
* don't recompute active_validator_indices as much
* remove duplicate process_ejections function
* allow running more or fewer validators
* use deterministic key generation for tests to avoid exhausting system
RNG
* update README with simulator docs
* write the data of each validator to separate file, instead of a big
chainstart.json (makes it easier to run different validator counts)
* prevent balance underflow, per spec implementation note
* verify that permutation shuffing works: add YAML dependency to be used for ingesting test cases; switch from blake2 to keccak256 to match EF test cases; remove inefficient naive-spec-version of shuffling algorithm now that protolambda's can be tested directly
* Complete scan through v0.3.0 spec; remaining known discreptancy is in bls_verify_multiple
* switch remaining slot-misuses of get_active_validator_indices to epochs
* spec workaround
* finish first 0.3.0 pass by getting slow, naive version of bls_verify_multiple running
* implement in-memory block graph
* store tail block in database
* resolve unknown parents by syncing them from peers
* introduce concept of resolved blocks and attestations - those that
follow minimal protocol rules
* update state head lazily
* log more stuff
* shortHash -> shortLog
* start 9/10 beacon nodes by default, last can be started manually
* see also #134
* fix start.sh epoch length
* convert some asserts to doAsserts to keep them in release mode builds; rename get_initial_beacon_state to get_genesis_beacon_state to track spec; switch target spec version to 0.3.0; switch references to penalize_validator to slash_validator/slashValidator to track spec; make some function returns safer by omitting 'return'
* 2x shuffling speedup by hoisting pivot calculations per https://github.com/protolambda/eth2-shuffle
* fix initial attestation pool on reordered attestations
* simplify db layer api
* load head block from database on startup, then load state
* significantly changes database format
* move subscriptions to separate proc's
* implement block replay from historical state
* avoid rescheduling epoch actions on block receipt (why?)
* make sure genesis block is created and used
* relax initial state sim parameters a bit
* move attestation pool to separate file
* combine attestations lazily when needed
* advance state when there's a gap while attesting
* compile beacon node with optimizations - it's tooo slow right now
* log when unable to keep up
* switch to v0.2.0 shuffling scheme
* fix some >80 char lines; add get_total_balance helper function (used in epoch processing, etc); note intended removal of repeat_hash and users thereof; add some int_to_bytes and bytes_to_int helpers; more underflow comments; add Gwei type; adjust generate_seed to include additional entropy source; note egregious inefficiencies
* minor code cleanup
* move some general helper functions to helpers.nim and clarify little-endian comments
