v0.1.4 update notice

MVC Node v0.1.4 update notice:

  1. It should be stable, and not prone to oscillations;

  2. It should keep confirmation times low;

  3. It should keep incentives for miners to perform hashrate shenanigans low;

  4. It should keep incentives for miners to perform timestamp manipulation shenanigans low;

  5. It should keep incentives for miners to perform selfish mining shenanigans low;

  6. Because of #3, #4, and #5, honest mining strategies with steady hashrate should get near-optimal income;

  7. The chain should recover quickly after sudden changes in hashrate and/or exchange rate;

Added ASERT difficulty adjustment algorithm with two days half-life, aka, aserti3-2d. This upgrade uses a MTP-based activation,1686636000(2023-06-13 06:00:00 +0000) for mainnet and 1685426400(2023-05-30 06:00:00 +0000) for testnet. The block before the activation block will be used as the anchor block for the ASERT algorithm. It is highly recommended to upgrade this update, otherwise it will fork after ASERT activation.

Added parameter minrelaytxfee. Fees smaller than which are considered zero fee for relaying, mining and transaction creation (default: 250). If you set it to zero then a transaction spammer can cheaply fill blocks using 1-satoshi-fee transactions, so which is not allowed. If you are mining, be careful setting this, it should be set above the real cost to you of processing a transaction.

Upgraded minimum chain work and added new checkpoints;

Bug fixed and redundant code removed;

Update version to v0.1.4.0
