Concept ACK.

FWIW on Ubuntu 20.04 I'm using pre-compiled binaries from https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/tag/llvmorg-18.1.4 with no issues.

Thanks for adding coverage. The new asserts look like they fit in nicely with the existing test code. Ran `rpc_transaction` locally (passed).

It's used in `Sock` (e.g. `RecvUntilTerminator`).

Changes look good. The bench is not really useful though, because it's testing things that aren't in our code.

I believe @josibake was asking for a bench that demonstrates a before/after of `CreateTransactionInternal`. I'm guessing that's not really feasible though, so I think it's enough to use your bench numbers without actually committing it.

> I think that could reduce the difficulty by up to a factor of 16 (if you are willing to wait up to eight weeks), but I don’t see how someone needing to manually intervene and most likely still needing an ASIC mitigates the potential liveness issue here.

If someone's attacking testnet with 4x more hashpower than the rest of the network (ie, 80% hash rate), can't they just do a 50% attack and mine empty blocks? If you're trying to run a chain with minority hashpower you need to do something l

Nice find! Would suggest opening a separate PR so it is easier to understand the problem and fix. And maybe it is possible to come up with a simpler test for this problem specifically, like by adding an assert in FindNextBlocks()

Maybe I misunderstand, but that seems overly complicated. I assume we're talking about the scenario "Not an ancestor of the snapshot block but has less work":
In my local test, I just gave the node the headers of the snapshot chain, and then used `-generate` to mine a divergent chain from the old tip. Number of blocks doesn't really matter. The other chain (with the

Does ` __attribute__ ((visibility ("default")))` override this? Otherwise I assume we'd need to make sure this flag doesn't make it to shared libs.
