⚠️ mzumsande opened an issue: "Remove BIP94 from regtest"
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/31137)
[BIP94](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0094.mediawiki) which, amongst others, fixes the timewarp attack on testnet4, has been activated on regtest by #30681 (commit https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30681/commits/e85f386c4b157b7d1ac16aface9bd2c614e62b46), in order to allow having a functional test for the new testnet4 behavior.

As I argued in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30681#pullrequestreview-2275751672 I believe that regtest's main task is to test mainnet

Forgot about this until last week - I opened issue #31137 to continue discussion.

ACK fa8bd0be8432fda3c7312050433a6deb6722a073

Have a slight preference for the commit removing CLIENT_VERSION and the commit introducing CURRENT_FEES_FILE_VERSION being one and the same in order to give a more complete picture of the change.

Used hexdump to inspect old *~/.bitcoin/regtest/fee_estimates.dat* and *~/.bitcoin/fee_estimates.dat* files, confirming that the first two little-endian integers correspond to the *minimum required version* and *CLIENT_VERSION* (version that wrote).

Yes, in case it somehow gets corrupted or modified by an entirely different software, that makes sense.

Appreciated if you re-touch.

CR and test ACK 57529ac4dbb2721c1ad0a3566f0299dbdb5ca5c0

Checked with a hackie little sanity test where a connection was made to the proxy on 127.0.0.1:10000 (set up to detour to 127.0.0.1:10001). A small echo server listened on 10001 (echoing back "testack"). The new detouring functionality of the proxy seemed to work as expected.

non-blocking femto nit: If this file is touched again, could add a trailing comma to prevent the line from being changed if another import from netutil is needed.

Successful make and functional tests. Pretty straightforward PR; I agree with @instagibbs's suggestion to keep the variable name in functional test same as in the CPP code.

Let's keep the same name in the functional test for uniformity and easy reference?

@real-or-random @laanwj's comment is mostly correct. iirc at the time this was one of a few MSVC specific defines we had left in the codebase. Since then others have been added, but mostly to just workaround, or ignore bugs in MSVC.

> (except perhaps performance if the implementation of SecureZeroMemory on mingw-w64 is worse than what the compiler can come up with for the memset).

I would think the code would not be worse performance wise, as it's implemented using `__stosb`.

I am in favor of 2. (port+1) or 5. (do nothing) in the short term, for 28.1.

For long term, maybe deprecate and remove `port=` (yes, I think it is a subset of `bind=`, somebody correct me if I am wrong) in favor of `bind=...:port`. I agree that `port=` is "helpful, especially for users less knowledgeable about networking", maybe to resolve that extend the syntax of `bind=` to allow `bind=*:8333`. That is used in at least Apache configs: `<VirtualHost *:80>`.
