Currently enabled for topOnly nodes only. This will detect if the node is on a divergent chain, and will force a bootstrap or resync (depending on settings) in order to rejoin the main chain.
We no longer need all the code complexity, now that 24 hours have passed since activation. We don't validate online accounts beyond 12 hours, and the data is trimmed after 24 hours.
This allows one message to reference another, e.g. for replies, edits, and reactions. We can't use the existing reference field as this is used for encryption and generally points to the user's lastReference at the time of signing.
"chatReference" is based on the "nameReference" field used in various name transactions, for similar purposes.
This needs a feature trigger timestamp to activate, and that same timestamp will need to be used in the UI since that is responsible for building the chat transactions.
This allows for different share bin distribution starting at an undecided future block height. This height will correspond with the QORA reduction. New values decided in recent community vote.
This allows the QORA share percentage to be modified at different heights, based on community votes. Added unit test to simulate a reduction.

Online account nonces are appended to the onlineAccountsSignatures to avoid the need for a new field, but it probably makes more sense to separate them.
To prevent a single or very small number of minters receiving the rewards for an entire tier, share bins can now require "activation". This adds the requirement that a minimum number of accounts must be present in a share bin before it is considered active. When inactive, the rewards and minters are added to the previous tier.
Summary of new functionality:
- If a share bin has more than one, but less than 30 accounts present, the rewards and accounts are shifted to the previous share bin.
- This process is iterative, so the accounts can shift through multiple tiers until the minimum number of accounts is met, OR the share bin's starting level is less than shareBinActivationMinLevel.
- Applies to level 7+, so that no backwards support is needed. It will only take effect once the first account reaches level 7.
This requires hot swapping the sharesByLevel data to combine tiers where needed, so is a considerable shift away from the immutable array that was in place previously.
All existing and new unit tests are now passing, however a lot more testing will be needed.
- Reduce concurrent reward share limit from 6 to 3 (or from 5 to 2 when including self share) - as per community vote.
- Founders remain at 6 (5 when including self share) - also decided in community vote.
- When all slots are being filled, require that at least one is a self share, so that not all can be used for sponsorship.
- Activates at future undecided timestamp.
