(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29330)
This PR adds a new flag `-cleanupaddrman`. When initializing a node with this flag, it will delete addresses from addrman (both new and tried tables) that do not belong to the supported networks (e.g. `-onlynet`). Deleting addresses that do not belong to the supported networks can avoid a lot of unnecessary addrman `Select` calls (especially when turning from clearnet + Tor/I2P/CJDNS to Tor/I2P/CJDNS). This flag is not enabled by default.

This was the case before the force-push, too. In this current approach, the diff is much smaller so review can focus more on whether we're okay removing network-adjusted time, instead of on the adjusted time calculation refactoring.

Following up on https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/29258 the type of ```nChainTx``` has now been changed to a ```uint64_t``` allowing for the counting of TXs well into the future. The note about changing the type in 2024 was also removed. This passes all extended tests.

Aren't these supposed to be `signed=True`? Given that we're serializing a `0` I suppose it doesn't really matter there, but would still keep that consistent with the actual type.

Could you clarify what deprecation will actually mean for 27.0, and then the future steps?

From what I understand. this PR removes a bunch of tests, and adds a sentence to a doc saying that it is deprecated. I think that means we will still be building the library by default but not testing it? That seems a bit odd to me, and I would rather that testing is deleted at the same time the library is removed, unless there is some reason that those tests can be removed that is unrelated to the depr

Thanks, @vostrnad, for pointing out the potential flaws in my review.

Yes, I did use ChatGPT to structure my thoughts on the “problems with P2PK” in a coherent fashion, but I don’t believe the points are wrong.

@shaavan

1. Putting bare public keys into the output doesn't make things materially worse if ECDSA/ECDLP gets broken. This was agreed on when designing Taproot, which is why P2TR outputs also use bare public keys (see [BIP341](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0341.mediawiki#cite_note-2)).
2. Yes, P2PKH has a shorter output script, but overall uses more blockspace than P2PK. It does take less space in the UTXO set, but P2PK only takes one more byte than e.g. P2TR or P2WSH. Note

Thanks, @vostrnad, for helping me bring clarity to my understanding.

I understand that my points were made based on my limited knowledge surrounding the discussions around P2TR. And also, I made an incorrect point in my explanation.

I have struck the “Problems of P2PK” section to avoid confusion for future reviewers.

Lastly, though I might sometimes use ChatGPT to get better clarity on concepts or coherently express my thoughts, I will make sure to properly fact-check it before using an

> Hardcoded one-size-fits-all configuration is suboptimal, especially in context of mempools which are always unique (by definition).

If you do not run a mining node, you do in fact want your mempool configuration to be as compatible with the miner majority as possible if you want it to be "optimal", both from the perspective of your node and from the network as a whole. In most cases, this means using the defaults, but possibly with a larger size.

I would have thought that for 27.x you'd just add the deprecation note, and otherwise not change any code? I assumed the code changes here were just to help make commenting easier, not necessarily intended for 27.0...
