`-mempooltxinputlimit` deprecation
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The configuration option `-mempooltxinputlimit` was added in release 1.0.10 as a
|
|
|
|
|
short-term fix for the quadratic hashing problem inherited from Bitcoin. At the
|
|
|
|
|
time, transactions with many inputs were causing performance issues for miners.
|
|
|
|
|
Since then, several performance improvements have been merged from the Bitcoin
|
|
|
|
|
Core codebase that significantly reduce these issues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Overwinter network upgrade includes changes that solve the quadratic hashing
|
|
|
|
|
problem, and so `-mempooltxinputlimit` will no longer be needed - a transaction
|
|
|
|
|
with 1000 inputs will take just as long to validate as 10 transactions with 100
|
|
|
|
|
inputs each. Starting from this release, `-mempooltxinputlimit` will be enforced
|
|
|
|
|
before the Overwinter activation height is reached, but will be ignored once
|
|
|
|
|
Overwinter activates. The option will be removed entirely in a future release
|
|
|
|
|
after Overwinter has activated.
