Research direction

Start at the TODO in src/chainparams.cpp around line 907 and inspect the surrounding dynafed genesis-configuration code. Trace how existing genesis styles are defined and used before determining the intended dynafed behavior. Done means the dynafed genesis style is implemented rather than left as a stub, with relevant project checks passing.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There has been a stub in the code since dynafed was added, but it's not implemented yet.

Here is the TODO item for that: https://github.com/ElementsProject/elements/blob/master/src/chainparams.cpp#L907
