c9e03f37ce Logger now only speaks when spoken to
Before this change, the logger's send channel could quickly be
flooded with Tick events. Those events should only be passed to
a writer.

Also, the log_event() function no longer sends entries. That
functionality moved to the new process_events() function. This
will allow us to initialize the with the genesis block without
flooding the send channel with events the historian won't read.

Make num_hashes more intuitive
2018-03-04 13:05:38 -07:00
ff82fbf112 Make num_hashes mean the num_hashes since the last ID
Before this change, num_hashes meant the number of hashes since
the last ID, minus any hashing done on the event data. It made
no difference for Tick events, but logged Transaction events with
one less hash than actually occurred.

Key generation, signing and verification are not the performance
bottleneck. Something is probably wrong here.

dfd1c4eab3 Don't process transaction if channel.send() fails.
Do all input validation first, then log (which can fail). If all
goes swimmingly, process the transaction.

36bb1f989d More defense against a double-spend attack
Before this change, a client could spend funds before the accountant
processed a previous spend. With this change in place, the accountant
updates balances immediately, but that comes at an architectural cost.
The accountant now verifies signatures on behalf of the historian, so
that it can ensure logging will not fail.

accountant crate shouldn't verify the log. Instead, it should

1b77e8a69a Move Event into its own crate
The log crate was starting to be the catch-all for all things
related to entries, events, signatures, and hashes. This split
shows us that:

* Event depends only on signatures, not on hashes [directly]
* All event testing was done via log testing (shame on me)
* Accounting depends only on events
