# HG changeset patch # User Gregory Maxwell # Date 1347235864 14400 # Node ID 3228d33665a283b1c05bb456e7c0ddc7dff34968 # Parent cf0a5c9573dcc14cea82b0cf51178eeaead8adc5 Apply BIP30 checks to all blocks except the two historic violations. Matt pointed out some time ago that there existed a minor DOS attack where a node in its initial block download could be wedged by an overwrite attack in a fork created between checkpoints before a time where BIP30 was enforced. Now that the BIP30 timestamp is irreversibly past the check can be more aggressive and apply to all blocks except the two historic violations. diff --git a/src/main.cpp b/src/main.cpp --- a/src/main.cpp +++ b/src/main.cpp @@ -1360,9 +1360,12 @@ // See BIP30 and http://r6.ca/blog/20120206T005236Z.html for more information. // This logic is not necessary for memory pool transactions, as AcceptToMemoryPool // already refuses previously-known transaction ids entirely. - // This rule applies to all blocks whose timestamp is after March 15, 2012, 0:00 UTC. - int64 nBIP30SwitchTime = 1331769600; - bool fEnforceBIP30 = (pindex->nTime > nBIP30SwitchTime); + // This rule was originally applied all blocks whose timestamp was after March 15, 2012, 0:00 UTC. + // Now that the whole chain is irreversibly beyond that time it is applied to all blocks except the + // two in the chain that violate it.
