A canonical starting point for new operators. Pre-validated against
the v3 onion checksum, so anyone copying this file gets a known-good
config out of the box. Documents:
* The 7 hardcoded seeds from src/onionseed.h (with port 24112)
* How to add the 7 dynamic seeds from seeds.cryptographic-triangles.org
(commented out, since the daemon fetches them automatically)
* The pre-commit hook installation instructions
* The Tor-only requirement (notor=0 must stay)
* Standard index flags (txindex, addressindex, spentindex, timestampindex)
* dbcache sizing guidance
The 7 hardcoded seeds were taken verbatim from src/onionseed.h and
verified by scripts/validate_onion_seeds.py. The C++ test suite
src/test/onion_v3_tests.cpp also re-validates them at every build.
Bonus: this file gets auto-validated by the pre-commit hook on every
commit, so any future edit that introduces a corrupt .onion will be
caught before it can reach a deployment.
The secure-messaging store (smsgDB) used the LevelDB API directly. Mass-
mapped to the equivalent RocksDB types: leveldb::DB/Status/WriteBatch/
Iterator/Slice/ReadOptions/WriteOptions/WriteBatch::Handler -> rocksdb::*.
The RocksDB API surface for our usage is binary-compatible — pure namespace
substitution, no semantic changes. Consumers in rpcsmessage.cpp and
qt/messagemodel.cpp updated to match.
RocksDB now becomes a hard build dependency (was optional behind
BUILD_ROCKSDB). The chain-DB rocksdb backend is consequently always
available; -chaindb=leveldb remains the default until the Phase-4
LevelDB retirement. Removed the BUILD_ROCKSDB cmake option, the
#ifdef BUILD_ROCKSDB guards in txdb*, and the runtime error path
that triggered when the flag was off.
CI updated: librocksdb-dev (Ubuntu), mingw-w64-x86_64-rocksdb (MSYS2),
and rocksdb (Homebrew) added to all build jobs.

bench-chaindb.sh times FastImportBlockFile() under each backend using a
user-supplied blk0001.dat. Wall time comes from the daemon's existing
StartupPerfLog line; peak RSS via ps sampling; datadir size via du.
Output is one CSV row per backend appended to ./bench-results.csv, plus
a stdout summary. Network is disabled during the run (-nolisten -connect=0)
so we measure only DB ingest cost.
Does not yet measure: reorg cost, network IBD speed, raw disk I/O.
LoadSnapshot path is still LevelDB-only; the harness intentionally exercises
the FastImportBlockFile rebuild instead, which works on both backends.

New RPC commands:
- addnode: add/remove/onetry .onion peers at runtime
- disconnectnode: immediately drop a peer connection
- getchaintips: diagnose chain forks and orphan branches
- invalidateblock: rewind chain past a bad block
- reconsiderblock: re-activate a previously invalidated block
Also includes:
- systemd service files for Linux deployment
- Bootstrap/snapshot guide for OpenClaw nodes
- Upgrade notes from 2026-04-14

- Update script_P2SH_tests.cpp to use new MapPrevTx (COutPoint->CUtxoEntry)
- Remove obsolete bootstrap download from NSIS installer (requires inetc
plugin; nodes now sync fast from network)

Single command to update version across all 12+ files:
scripts/bump-version.sh 5.7.0
Updates: clientversion.h, version.h, triangles-qt.pro, Dockerfile,
and all packaging manifests (Docker, AUR, Chocolatey, Debian, RPM,
WinGet, Homebrew, Nix, AppImage).
Windows: NSIS setup.exe — double-click to install with Start Menu
shortcuts, desktop icon, uninstaller in Add/Remove Programs.
Tor bundled in tor/ subfolder, auto-detected by wallet.
Linux: .deb packages (dpkg -i) for both Qt wallet and daemon.
Wallet gets desktop entry + app icon. Daemon gets systemd service.
Tor bundled in /usr/lib/cryptographic-triangles/tor/.
macOS: DMG with Tor inside .app bundle (unchanged).
All platforms: download one file, install, run. Zero configuration.
Replace all hardcoded seed addresses (onion, clearnet, DNS) with a
dynamic HTTP-based seed list fetched from seeds.cryptographic-triangles.org
on startup. New getseedlist RPC exposes known .onion peers from the
address manager for a collector script to publish.
Any wallet that comes online with an onion address is automatically
discovered by peers via P2P addr exchange and appears in the seed list
within minutes. No binary rebuilds needed when addresses change.
