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

Rebased and added a refactor to split up `ThreadAddressSeed` into separate functions for DNS and fixed seeds - I will keep in draft a bit longer, until the issue below is resolved.

> While implementing and testing the `ThreadAddressSeed` code organization changes, I ran into a small issue/ behavior change caused by the movement of the fixed seeding into another thread - I need to analyze this closer, marking as Draft for now.

Updated per feedback, thanks achow.

Changes:
* Replaced `BLANK_BIRTH_TIME` constant by setting the `m_birth_time` to its max numeric value.
* Tackled a block time variability concern by using the maximum time in the chain (a moving forward only timestamp) instead of the raw block time.
* Extended the grace period to be twice as big as the one used in the rescan process. Even when this is not strictly needed, the rationale is to be a bit more conservative during IBD scanning because it's an
