This change modifies the behavior of the gettxout RPC to match the
behavior of the reference client. If a transaction output is spent by
a mined transaction, the handler will now return nil (JSON null).
While here, avoid indexing some slices multiple times, by creating a
local variable instead.
This commit implements reject handling as defined by BIP0061 and bumps the
maximum supported protocol version to 70002 accordingly.
As a part of supporting this a new error type named RuleError has been
introduced which encapsulates and underlying error which could be one of
the existing TxRuleError or btcchain.RuleError types.
This allows a single high level type assertion to be used to determine if
the block or transaction was rejected due to a rule error or due to an
unexpected error. Meanwhile, an appropriate reject error can be created
from the error by pulling the underlying error out and using it.
Also, a check for minimum protocol version of 209 has been added.
Closes#133.
This commit implements a portion of the mutations section of BIP0023.
In particular, it adds the mutable, mintime, maxtime, and noncerange keys
to the returned block template along with indicating support for the time,
transactions/add, prevblock, and coinbase/append mutations. Also, the
addition of the mintime and maxtime fields imply support for the
time/decrement and time/increment mutations. Further, if the caller
indicates the coinbasevalue capability, the coinbasetxn field will be
omitted thereby implying support for the coinbase and generation
mutations.
Closes#124.
This commit implements the long polling portion of the getblocktemplate
RPC as defined by BIP0022. Per the specification, each block template is
returned with a longpollid which can be used in a subsequent
getblocktemplate request to keep the connection open until the server
determines the block template associated with the longpollid should be
replaced with a new one.
This is work towards #124.
This commit implements the non-optional and template tweaking support for
the getblocktemplate RPC as defined by BIP0022. This implementation does
not yet include long polling support.
This is work towards #124.
This commit has no effect on the effective functionality since Go
automatically deferences pointers, but there is no reason to have a
double indirection when returning the reply for getmininginfo.
This commits removes a number of golint warnings. There is a class of
warnings which I can't fix due to unsufficient knowledge of the domain
at this point. These are listed here:

The hex package requires an even number of characters in hex encoded
strings. Some of the handlers already prepended a zero if necessary to
make this condition true, however other did not. This commit extends this
functionality to all handlers and also makes the error return consistent.
ok @jrick
There are certain cases such as getblocktemplate which allow external
callers to be repsonsible for creating their own coinbase to replace the
generated one. By allowing the pay address to be nil in such cases, the
need to specify mining addresses via --miningaddr can be avoided thereby
leaving the payment address management up to the caller.
This commit modifies the RPC server such that all handlers now receive a
channel which will be notified when a client disconnects. This
notification can then be used to stop long-running operations early when a
client disconnects.
This capability was already present for websocket clients, but this commit
exposes it to standard HTTP clients as well.
Now that btcd support CPU mining, update the getgenerate, setgenerate,
gethashespersec, and getmininginfo RPC handlers to return the appropriate
information.
Also, remove the various extra help addenda about btcd not supporting
mining since it is no longer true.
This commit implements a built-in concurrent CPU miner that can be enabled
with the combination of the --generate and --miningaddr options. The
--blockminsize, --blockmaxsize, and --blockprioritysize configuration
options wich already existed prior to this commit control the block
template generation and hence affect blocks mined via the new CPU miner.
The following is a quick overview of the changes and design:
- Starting btcd with --generate and no addresses specified via
--miningaddr will give an error and exit immediately
- Makes use of multiple worker goroutines which independently create block
templates, solve them, and submit the solved blocks
- The default number of worker threads are based on the number of
processor cores in the system and can be dynamically changed at
run-time
- There is a separate speed monitor goroutine used to collate periodic
updates from the workers to calculate overall hashing speed
- The current mining state, number of workers, and hashes per second can
be queried
- Updated sample-btcd.conf file has been updated to include the coin
generation (mining) settings
- Updated doc.go for the new command line options
In addition the old --getworkkey option is now deprecated in favor of the
new --miningaddr option. This was changed for a few reasons:
- There is no reason to have a separate list of keys for getwork and CPU
mining
- getwork is deprecated and will be going away in the future so that means
the --getworkkey flag will also be going away
- Having the work 'key' in the option can be confused with wanting a
private key while --miningaddr make it a little more clear it is an
address that is required
Closes#137.

Also, since the new websoscket package allows the message type to be set
independently from the type of the variable, remove the casts between
strings and []byte in the websocket read/write paths. This avoids extra
copies thereby reducing the garbage generated.
Closes#134.
This commit, along with recent commits to btcnet and btcwire, expose a new
network that is intended to provide a private network useful for
simulation testing. To that end, it has the special property that it has
no DNS seeds and will actively ignore all addr and getaddr messages. It
will also not try to connect to any nodes other than those specified via
--connect. This allows the network to remain private to the specific
nodes involved in the testing and not simply become another public
testnet.
The network difficulty is also set extremely low like the regression test
network so blocks can be created extremely quickly without requiring a lot
of hashing power.
This change modifies the params struct to embed a *btcnet.Params,
removing the old parameter fields that are handled by the btcnet
package.
Hardcoded network checks have also been removed in favor of modifying
behavior based on the current active net's parameters.
Not all library packages, notable btcutil and btcchain, have been
updated to use btcnet yet, but with this change, each package can be
updated one at a time since the active net's btcnet.Params are
available at each callsite.
ok @davecgh
Ordinarily, getwork will return an error if btcd is not connected to any
other peers. This commit relaxes that requirement when running in
regression test mode since it is useful for development purposes.
While here, also improve check which returns an error from getwork is not
current to exclude the check when the best chain height is zero since the
code never believes it is current when at height 0.
Along the same lines as the previous commit, the RPCs that return
serialized data structures should use the max protocol version btcd
supports as opposed to the maximum protocol version etcwire supports.
The getinfo RPC should return the max protocol version btcd supports as
opposed to the maximum protocol version btcwire supports. Currently they
are both the same value, so there is no issue. However, they will not
always be the same.
This commit updates the block manager's local chain state when a block
processed by submitting it directly to the block manager as opposed to
only when it comes from the network.
Also, it modifies the submitblock RPC to use the concurrent safe block
manager process block instead of the unsafe btcchain version.
The combination of these two fixes ensure the internal block manager chain
state is properly synced with the actual btcchain state regardless of how
blocks are added.
