Allow signature verification to be disabled in Full Verification Mode. #463

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
When doing the initial build of the block chain in full verification mode 90% 
of the time is spend verifying the signatures.

This issue is to request a switch to disable this verification which is not 
always required.

Contains patch. Please say if my repo is wrong. As could not get it to directly 
clone the google code one? Is not listed in clones of bitcoinj?

The Google Code guys took away the clone feature :( It will be time to migrate 
to github soon.

I'll do a similar commit myself. Please observe the code style (documented on 
the website) and the need to add JavaDocs for public methods.

bitcoind skips signatures up until the last checkpoint, and verifies from that 
point onwards. It'd be a better approach, but a new property will do for now.
