RSKj Include Uncles in CPV in Fork Detection Data

Prize Bounty

0.02090 RBTC

(approximately 1300 USD at time of posting)

Challenge Description

Implement RSKIP224: RSKj Include Uncles in CPV in Fork Detection Data, which is an improvement to the Fork Detection Data present in merge-mining tags, used by the Armadillo Fork Detection System.

Add unit tests which verify proper functioning of the new tag, and old tag simultaneously, depending on the version.

Implementation and tests to change:

Data rule:
- Implementation: ForkDetectionDataRule
- Test: ForkDetectionDataRuleTest
Data calculator:
- Implementation: ForkDetectionDataCalculator
- Test: ForkDataDetectionCalculatorTest

This is expected to be a simple change to the implementation of RSKj. However it is a change to consensus nonetheless, thus the focus will be on identifying all consensus-related realures related to the test and creating explicit tests for them.

Submission Requirements

The submission is expected to be:

A Github pull request on the RSKj repository
Implement the features as described in the “challenge description” section
Add tests that provide coverage for the new features added

Judging Criteria

Only one submission allowed per participant. Where a participant wishes to resubmit, update the original submission instead of submitting a separate entry.
If the submission involves a graphical user interface of any variety, please include a video recording of it in action.
If the submission involves a command line interface of any variety, please include a text file of it in action (including outputs).
Test coverage for any implementation is viewed favourably: More test coverage is better.
In cases where the bounty requires a Github PR on an existing repo, and that repo has continuous integration (CI) set up, the PR should not fail on the CI steps.
Documentation is viewed favourably: Include specific instructions on how to set up and use your submission. Optionally, include any explanations of architectural/ design choices that went into the submission.
The easier it is for the reviewer to run and understand the submission, the better, so be sure to consider this in your submissions!
