GetASERTAnchorBlock()

static const CBlockIndex* GetASERTAnchorBlock ( const CBlockIndex *const  pindex, const Consensus::Params &  params  )

static

Returns a pointer to the anchor block used for ASERT.

As anchor we use the first block for which IsAxionEnabled() returns true. This block happens to be the last block which was mined under the old DAA rules.

This function is meant to be removed some time after the upgrade, once the anchor block is deeply buried, and behind a hard-coded checkpoint.

Preconditions: - pindex must not be nullptr

• pindex must satisfy: IsAxionEnabled(params, pindex) == true Postcondition: Returns a pointer to the first (lowest) block for which IsAxionEnabled is true, and for which IsAxionEnabled(pprev) is false (or for which pprev is nullptr). The return value may be pindex itself.

noexcept

Compute the next required proof of work using an absolutely scheduled exponentially weighted target (ASERT).

With ASERT, we define an ideal schedule for block issuance (e.g. 1 block every 600 seconds), and we calculate the difficulty based on how far the most recent block's timestamp is ahead of or behind that schedule. We set our targets (difficulty) exponentially. For every [nHalfLife] seconds ahead of or behind schedule we get, we double or halve the difficulty.

ResetASERTAnchorBlockCache()

void ResetASERTAnchorBlockCache ( )

noexcept

ASERT caches a special block index for efficiency.

If block indices are freed then this needs to be called to ensure no dangling pointer when a new block tree is created. (this is temporary and will be removed after the ASERT constants are fixed)
