payout: say what actually failed instead of blaming transaction size
SendMoney's "oversized transaction that requires a transaction fee of 0.00" is not an oversized transaction and there is no fee. That branch is taken when nValue + nFeeRequired > GetBalance() -- an empty spendable balance -- and the fee reads 0.00 because CreateTransaction failed before setting one. 3,267 of these in debug.log sent me looking for a transaction-size problem that does not exist. Report what is short, by how much, and against what balance. Name COINBASE_SPENDABLE_DEPTH in main.h and derive GetBlocksToMaturity from it, because the distinction it captures is genuinely surprising: CMerkleTx::GetCredit values a mined coinbase at zero until COINBASE_MATURITY+20 deep, not COINBASE_MATURITY. I first changed the payout gate to that deeper value, on the theory that each payout was firing 20 blocks before its own coinbase could be spent. Measuring it refuted that: across 934 payments, 96% succeeded at depth 100, the moment they were queued, which is only possible because a payout is funded from whatever coin is already mature rather than from its own block. The gate stays at COINBASE_MATURITY, with a comment recording the measurement so the next person does not re-make the same change. The real shortfall is structural and not addressed here: the pool pays out ~99% of each block's subsidy while only matured coinbases are spendable, so it runs with almost no buffer, and any orphaned block it queued a payout for drains that buffer permanently. The 24h retry loop absorbs this -- 0 payouts forfeited -- but the buffer is what needs fixing. (cherry picked from commit e28df01f90d621b0cd818f28d70a20b8ab5d1a8d)
