When used for computing the bond fee buffer, the "fee rate limit" makes an extremely hight fee rate buffer, which makes BTC bonds impractical. This change: - switches to using a dynamic fee rate with the configured fallback rate for both ReserveBondFunds and BondsFeeBuffer, where the former is used as the requirement for the frontend to proceed with registration - uses the exported BondsFeeBuffer method when automatically creating the "extra" split output in certain order funding edge cases instead of a buffer based on the high limit. - tweaks the bond tx input count to be slightly less conservative, going from 12 -> 8 possible inputs - gives BondsFeeBuffer a fee rate parameter so that a rate can come from Core even if the wallet has no estimate source - give ReserveBondFunds a feeBuffer paramerter so that the buffer used during wallet funding (from BondsFeeBuffer) can be used, preventing possible bad UX if the fee rates go up and they have to send more. The motivation for these changes is that using the wallet's configure fee rate limit create extremely high fee bufferes, whereas we have defined the "fallback" fee rate to be a reasonable fallback where a current estimate is not available. Further, this is a buffer and precision is not critical, but turning users away from onboarding is a major issue. The right approach is to base reserves on a padded estimate based on current rates, not the swap fee rate limit. Finally, given this softening of the reserves amount, no adjustment to the enforced bond reserves in Reconfigure is done since we are now using current rates as a hit of future rates. Padding of this fee buffer already comes from: - planning for a lot of inputs - 4 parallel bond tracks - the exported BondsFeeBuffer method doubling the provided fee rate Even if fee rates skyrocket, and the reserves become insufficient for bond renewal, the user will still post bond if their balance allows, and they may deposit some nominal additional amount to cover any such deficit.

Nice! I had just noticed this while doing some other work.

Yeah, I totally missed this condition when I was rushing through #2200

Oh, the same thing exists on settings.ts. Fixing that in another PR. At least the first DEX uses the right info.

The UI for bonds in settings is pretty rough. I was thinking about opening an issue. Would be good to see the bond sizes, fee buffer, durations, USD conversions, etc.

My thinking was initially to use front end logic too, but the webserver cache is probably better. We are leaving rpcserver hanging for now.

Correct re: the rpcserver. However, changing responses from BondsFeeBuffer doesn't really matter for rpc since an rpc user would just record the value they obtained on their first call to BondsFeeBuffer and pass that on to PostBond, whereas on the frontend there's the possibility to make the UI fetch a new value and you've lost the original (and the walletWaitForm won't proceed)
#2382 for v0.6.2
Rebased on #2391 so SPV wallets are
FeeRaters, which gives(*Core).feeSuggestionAnyaccess to the wallet's fee rate first.
