### UP FOR GRABS
Tests
- Use standard tests.
Crypto stuff:
- kFromMessage
- Check all the tweak instructions.
Network:
- *** Exponential backoff on bad connection.
- *** Handle exception when no network.
- NotInChain will be very bad for new peers - it'll run through until the genesis.
- Check how many it has first.
- Crypto on network - use id as public key?
- Make work with IPv6
- Peers rated.
- Useful/useless - new blocks/transactions or useful peers?
- Solid communications?
- Strategy for peer suggestion?
- Ignore transactions with future nonces until address's nonce changes.
Cleanups & caching
- All caches should flush unused data (I'm looking at you, BlockChain) to avoid memory overload.
- State DB should keep only last few N blocks worth of nodes (except for restore points - configurable, defaults to every 30000th block - all blocks that are restore points should be stored so their stateRoots are known good).
THREAD-SAFETY
- BlockChain
- TransactionQueue
- State
General:
- Better logging.
- Colours.
- Move over to new system.
- Remove block chain on protocol change (i.e. store protocol with block chain).
Robustness
- Remove aborts
- Recover from all exceptions.
- Especially RLP & other I/O.
- RLP should never assert; only throw.
- Store version alongside BC DB.
- Better handling of corrupt blocks.
- Kill DB & restart.
GUI:
- Turn on/off debug channels.
For PoC-4:
GUI
- Make address/block chain list model-based, JIT populated.
- Make everything else model-based
- Qt/QML class.
Kill old DBs when protocol different.
### Marko
Ubuntu builds
- Raring (branch, local, x64 only :-( )
- Quantal (branch) (Launchpad)
- Saucy (master) (Launchpad)
### Alex
Mac build.
Mac build instructions.
### Eric
Windows XC build.
Windows XC build instructions.
### Tim/Harv
Windows MSVC build.
Windows MSVC build instructions.
LATER:
Trie on DB.
- Move the restore point stuff into block restore points
- i.e. keep all nodes from last 127 blocks with counter, at 128, kill but keep every (60*24*7)th or so i.e. one per week as a restore point.
- maybe allow this to be configured.
### TIM
Stateful Miner class.
Better Mod-Exp.
