Fair question. There was already some discussion in #24952 about whether to store txids/scriptPubKeys as TEXT or BLOB, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24952#pullrequestreview-952102140, https://github.com/

The style guide is vague on enums (though I guess you could follow the recommendation for classes)
```
- Braces on new lines for classes, functions, methods.
- Braces on the same line for everything else.
```
and our code (even the most recent additions) has a mix between putting braces on the same line and a new line for enums.

I'm not sure on this one. Granted, `std::string ChainName(ChainType chain)` would make it clear for the caller that this is most likely a label associated with the `ChainType`. However, for consistency I would also have to rename the helper functions to `GetChainName()`, and that seems less clear, because it does not have a typed argument allowing the caller to infer the relationship with `ChainType`.

📝 pinheadmz opened a pull request: "net: use interruptible async getaddrinfo wrapper from libevent for DNS"
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27505)
Closes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16778

Bitcoin uses `getaddrinfo` to make DNS requests for DNS seed servers and for adding peers with `-addnode`, `-seednode` and `-connect`. Depending on the platform this can be clunky and a system issue could prevent name resolution from completing at all, blocking the thread and in some cases preventing a clean shutdown.

An attempt was made to switch to the asynchronous `getaddrinfo_a` in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/4421 but t

> But my comment isn't really about the accuracy of the timestamp, but rather about the possibility of skipping a block after we have already started scanning. A block's timestamp can be before its parent. The code as written would let us skip scanning a block even if we had scanned its parent. The reason to use MTP is because it can only move forward. The MTP of a block can never be less than the MTP of its parent, it can be equal, but that's fine for us.

Yeah, where I was going is that we r
