Consume inputs even if not genesis node #1574

Closed Neylix closed 1 month ago

Description

Currently when a node is not genesis node of a transaction, it does not consume or update the UTXO of the genesis address of the chain. But in some case, it is possible that a node is genesis node for a chain and store its UTXO, then the election change and it is not genesis node anymore but still store some transaction of the chain as storage node. Then is become genesis node again, but since it already stored the transaction of this chain it will node re ingest the transaction and consume the inputs. So we encounter an issue where a the node keeps already spent UTXO in its view.

To fix it, even if the node is not genesis node of a chain, it consume the inputs and update the utxo of the genesis.
