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

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.
Reviewed by @jrick.
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.
Since a chain verification can take a long time depending on the
parameters, this commit adds a debug print to the RPC server at the info
level for how many blocks are being verified and at what level.
The logic was also slightly modified so the number of blocks being checked
can easily be calculated and shown.
This commit implements a rebroadcast handler which deals with
rebroadcasting inventory at a random time interval between 0 and 30
minutes. It then uses the new rebroadcast logic to ensure transactions
which were submitted via the sendrawtransaction RPC are rebroadcast until
they make it into a block.
Closes#99.
Rather than using the deprecated TxShas function on a btcutil.Block,
convert handleGetBlock to use the newer preferred method of ranging over
the Transactions to obtain the cached hash of each transaction.
This is a little more efficient since it can avoid creating and caching an
extra slice to keep the hashes in addition to having the hash cached with
each transaction.
Rather than returning an error when creating the RPC server an it can't
listen on any of the specified interfaces, only error when it can't listen
on all of the specified interfaces.
This change modifies the RPC server's notifiation manager from a
struct with requests, protected by a mutux, to two goroutines. The
first maintains a queue of all notifications and control requests
(registering/unregistering notifications), while the second reads from
the queue and processes notifications and requests one at a time.
Previously, to prevent slowing down block and mempool processing, each
notification would be handled by spawning a new goroutine. This lead
to cases where notifications would end up being sent to clients in a
different order than they were created. Adding a queue keeps the
order of notifications originating from the same goroutine, while also
not slowing down processing while waiting for notifications to be
processed and sent.
ok @davecgh
This changes the implementation of the sendrawtransaction RPC handler
to match bitcoind behavior by always returning a rejection error for
any error processing or accepting the tx by the mempool. Previously,
if the tx was rejected for a rule error rather than an actual failure,
a client would still receive the tx sha as a result with no error.
This commit refactors the entire websocket client code to resolve several
issues with the previous implementation. Note that this commit does not
change the public API for websockets. It only consists of internal
improvements.
The following is the major issues which have been addressed:
- A slow websocket client could impede notifications to all clients
- Long-running operations such as rescans would block all other requests
until it had completed
- The above two points taken together could lead to apparant hangs since
the client doing the rescan would eventually run out of channel buffer
and block the entire group of clients until the rescan completed
- Disconnecting a websocket during certain operations could lead to a hang
- Stopping the rpc server with operations under way could lead to a hang
- There were no limits to the number of websocket clients that could
connect
The following is a summary of the major changes:
- The websocket code has been split into two entities: a
connection/notification manager and a websocket client
- The new connection/notification manager acts as the entry point from
the rest of the subsystems to feed data which potentially needs to
notify clients
- Each websocket client now has its own instance of the new websocket
client type which controls its own lifecycle
- The data flow has been completely redesigned to closely resemble the
peer data flow
- Each websocket now has its own long-lived goroutines for input, output,
and queuing of notifications
- Notifications use the new notification queue goroutine along with
queueing to ensure they dont't block on stalled or slow peers
- There is a new infrastructure for asynchronously executing long-running
commands such as a rescan while still allowing the faster operations to
continue to be serviced by the same client
- Since long-running operations now run asynchronously, they have been
limited to one at a time
- Added a limit of 10 websocket clients. This is hard coded for now, but
will be made configurable in the future
Taken together these changes make the code far easier to reason about and
update as well solve the aforementioned issues.
Further optimizations to improve performance are possible in regards to
the way the connection/notification manager works, however this commit
already contains a ton of changes, so they are being left for another
time.
This commit adds a new configuration option, --rpcmaxclients, to limit the
number of max standard RPC clients that are served concurrently. Note
that this value does not apply to websocket connections. A future commit
will add support for limiting those separately.
Closes#68.
Rather than using a type specifically in btcd for the getrawmempool, this
commit, along with a recent commit to btcjson, changes the code over to
use the type from btcjson. This is more consistent with other RPC results
and provides a few extra benefits such as the ability for btcjson to
automatically unmarshal the results into a concrete type with proper field
types as opposed to a generic interface.
Previously the getnettotals was just looping through all of the currently
connected peers to sum the byte counts and returning that. However, the
intention of the getnettotals RPC is to get all bytes since the server was
started, so this logic was not correct.
This commit modifies the code to keep an atomic counter on the server for
bytes read/written and has each peer update the server counters as well as
the per-peer counters.
This commit moves the connection endpoint for websockets to /ws instead of
/wallet. First, the former is more standard, and second the latter
presumes how the websocket is to be used.
Closes#80.
The getinfo RPC method requires access to information only available in
the wallet. Therefore, it has been moved to the list of methods which
return an error information the caller to send the request to the wallet
instead.
The getnewaddress RPC method deals with wallet-related functionality and
therefore has been moved to the list of methods which return an error
information the caller to send the request to the wallet instead.
Both of these RPC methods require access to information ony available in
the wallet. Therefore they have been moved to the list of methods which
return an error information the caller to send the request to the wallet
instead.
This commit adds full support for the getaddednodeinfo RPC command
including DNS lookups which abide by proxy/onion/tor rules when the DNS
flag is specified. Note that it returns an array of strings when the DNS
flag is not set which is different than the current version of bitcoind
which is bugged and scheduled to be fixed per issue 3581 on the bitcoind
issue tracker.
This commit improves how the legacy RPC server responds to authentication
failures so things like web browsers can react better. The following
changes have been made:
First, authentication failures were only printing the 401 error response
in the body instead of setting the http status code. This means the
response had a 200 OK header with a body of 401 Unauthorized. Therefore
the client would think everything was ok, but see the response as
malformed JSON.
Second, the spec for 401 Unauthorized responses state they must include a
WWW-Authenticate header to instruct the client how to authenticate.
Without this, browsers won't prompt the user for credentials.
The previous websocket code required HTTP auth headers to be sent in order
to use the websocket. While this makes sense for most applications, some
use cases such as javascript-based websockets from browsers do no have the
ability to send headers.
This commit modifies the authentication logic to allow an alternative
authentication mechanism when HTTP auth headers can't be sent. In
particular, it introduces a new JSON-RPC command named authenticate which
accepts the username and passphrase for the RPC server. The command is
only required if the connetion has not already been authenticated via HTTP
auth headers and it must be the first command to be received. Sending any
other command will immediately disconnect the websocket.
ok from @owainga and @jrick.
This closes#77.
The websocket.Server used the by websocket.Handler type automatically adds
a handshake function which prevents connections when the Origin header is
not set. Not all clients send this information and we already require
authentication headers as the auth mechanism anyways.
This removes the last notification that was being sent unsolicited.
Since it is no longer needed, the code to duplicate notifications to
all clients has been removed.
The RPC server was performing some of the shutdown logic in the wrong
order, that is, logging the the server has shut down, waiting for all
server goroutines to finish, and then closing a channel to notify
server goroutines to stop. These three items have been reversed to
fix a hang where goroutines currently being waited on had not shut
down because they did not receive the notification.
While here, the server waitgroup was incremented for a goroutine that
was running without it, another select statement was added to stop a
duplicate close (which never occured last commit when I added the
select statements), and the "stopping rescan" logging was moved to
debug to make the ^C shutdown logging nicer.
This changes the protocol between btcd and btcwallet to follow
JSON-RPC specifications sending notifications as requests with an
empty ID.
The notification request context handling has been greatly cleaned up
now that IDs no longer need to be saved when sending notifications.
This commit changes all code which deals with extracting addresses from
scripts to use the btcscript API ExtractPkScriptAddrs which in turn makes
use of the new btcutil.Address interface.
This provides much cleaner code for dealing with arbitrary script
destinations which is extensible without having to churn the APIs if new
destination types are added.
