- When background syncing, the wallet wipes the spend key
from memory and processes all new transactions. The wallet saves
all receives, spends, and "plausible" spends of receives the
wallet does not know key images for.
- When background sync disabled, the wallet processes all
background synced txs and then clears the background sync cache.
- Adding "plausible" spends to the background sync cache ensures
that the wallet does not need to query the daemon to see if any
received outputs were spent while background sync was enabled.
This would harm privacy especially for users of 3rd party daemons.
- To enable the feature in the CLI wallet, the user can set
background-sync to reuse-wallet-password or
custom-background-password and the wallet automatically syncs in
the background when the wallet locks, then processes all
background synced txs when the wallet is unlocked.
- The custom-background-password option enables the user to
open a distinct background wallet that only has a view key saved
and can be opened/closed/synced separately from the main wallet.
When the main wallet opens, it processes the background wallet's
cache.
- To enable the feature in the RPC wallet, there is a new
`/setup_background_sync` endpoint.
- HW, multsig and view-only wallets cannot background sync.

Added a relay rule that enforces the `unlock_time` field is equal to 0 for non-coinbase transactions.
UIs changed:
* Removed `locked_transfer` and `locked_sweep_all` commands from `monero-wallet-cli`
APIs changed:
* Removed `unlock_time` parameters from `wallet2` transfer methods
* Wallet RPC transfer endpoints send error codes when requested unlock time is not 0
* Removed `unlock_time` parameters from `construct_tx*` cryptonote core functions
1. Daemon-specific proxy is exclusive with global proxy (--proxy).
2. If you set global proxy (--proxy) you cannot set daemon-specific proxy.
3. If you don't set global proxy, you can set proxy (or not set) proxy for
each daemon connection with the proxy field in jsonrpc to the wallet-rpc.
There are vulnerabilities in multisig protocol if the parties do not
trust each other, and while there is a patch for it, it has not been
throroughly reviewed yet, so it is felt safer to disable multisig by
default for now.
If all parties in a multisig setup trust each other, then it is safe
to enable multisig.
a99ef176 wallet-rpc: take subaddress account as arg for get_transfer_by_txid (stoffu)
77125096 wallet-rpc: rename *_INDEX_OUTOFBOUND into *_INDEX_OUT_OF_BOUNDS (stoffu)
- refactoring: proof generation/checking code was moved from simplewallet.cpp to wallet2.cpp
- allow an arbitrary message to be signed together with txid
- introduce two types (outbound & inbound) of tx proofs; with the same syntax, inbound is selected when <address> belongs to this wallet, outbound otherwise. see GitHub thread for more discussion
- wallet RPC: added get_tx_key, check_tx_key, get_tx_proof, check_tx_proof
- wallet API: moved WalletManagerImpl::checkPayment to Wallet::checkTxKey, added Wallet::getTxProof/checkTxProof
- get_tx_key/check_tx_key: handle additional tx keys by concatenating them into a single string
They are used to export a signed set of key images from a wallet
with a private spend key, so an auditor with the matching view key
may see which of those are spent, and which are not.
Signing is done using the spend key, since the view key may
be shared. This could be extended later, to let the user choose
which key (even a per tx key).
simplewallet's sign/verify API uses a file. The RPC uses a
string (simplewallet can't easily do strings since commands
receive a tokenized set of arguments).
