While here, remove the serializedTx field from Tx. This field was
originally intended to be used to cache the bytes of the serialized
transaction, but it was never used and can effectively leak memory if
the Tx was created with a call to NewTxFromBytes.
ok @davecgh
bytes.Reader is a little bit more efficient than a bytes.Buffer when
just reading, so in situations where only an io.Reader is needed (for
Block and Tx deserialization), switch to a bytes.Reader.
ok @davecgh
This change removes all occurances of btcwire.BitcoinNet from exported
APIs, replacing each with *btcnet.Params. This simplifies the logic
for verifying string encodings of addresses and WIF private keys which
use leading identifier numbers to differentiate between address types
and the network they are intended for. It also allows the use of this
package for non-standard networks (not mainnet, regtest, or testnet3)
and future proofs it for the possible addition of future testnet
networks.
To update across this change, replace each btcwire.BitcoinNet
parameter with the associated *btcnet.Params. For the standard
networks, these changes are:
btcwire.MainNet -> &btcnet.MainNetParams
btcwire.TestNet -> &btcnet.RegressionNetParams
btcwire.TestNet3 -> &btcnet.TestNet3Params
ok @davecgh
The old functions DecodePrivateKey and EncodePrivateKey have been
removed in favor of the DecodeWIF function and the String method of
the new WIF type.
ok @davecgh
This change adds the Hash160 methods to AddressPubKeyHash and
AddressScriptHash so the hash may be accessed as an array, rather than
a byte slice with the ScriptAddress method of the Address interface.
In situations where arrays are more appropiate than slices (such as
for map keys), accessing the array directly this way can significantly
improve performance by reducing copying into local arrays.
Amount should still be a usable type even if the monetary amount being
described is not an amount at a single instance in time, for example,
the total of all BTC received by an address. Therefore, the bounds
checks that the amount is within the total amount of bitcoin ever
producable have been removed.
The checks for NaN and +-Infinity remain.
Besides being shorter, using "BTC" rather than "Bitcoin" in the
AmountUnit constants is deemed to be better for these units as BTC is
already a recognized monetary unit.
AmountBaseBitcoin has likewise been renamed to AmountSatoshi as this
is consistant with how it is returned as a string. The "standard"
part of the comment in the const block has been removed, as Satoshi is
technically not a standard term for this unit.
ok @davecgh
Originally the various NewAddressX family on functions were limited to
only btcwire.MainNet and btcwire.TestNet3. They were changed a while back
to also support the regression test network however the comments were not
updated. This commit simply removes the comments which limited the
available choices since all btcwire.BitconNet types are now supported.
This commit removes the previously deprecated TxShas function from
btcutil.Block. The preferred method to access transaction hashes is via
the Sha function on each btcutil.Tx contained within the block.
For example, the following illustrates how convert the old TxShas approach
to the new method:
OLD:
for i, sha := range block.TxShas() {
// use sha
}
NEW:
for i, tx := range block.Transactions() {
// use tx.Sha()
}
This commit also updates the tests for the removed function.
This commit contains a basic definition for CoinSelector along with some
utility classes and some basic algos to make creating transactions from
a set of available unspent outpoints easier.
Thanks to @dajohi, @davec, @jrick for all the feedback and suggestions
regarding interfaces, organization, optimization, comments and
documentation.
This commit modifies DecodeAddress to accept and decode pay-to-pubkey
addresses (raw serialized public keys). Since the resulting Address
needs to have a network associated with it, and a raw serialized public
key does not encode the network with it, a new parameter has been added
which requires the caller to specify a default network to use when
decoding addresses.
In the case the address has a network encoded with it such as for
pay-to-pubkey-hash and pay-to-script-hash addresses, the network will be
decoded from the address and the resulting Address instance will have that
network associated with it. When the address does NOT have a network
encoded with it, such as a pay-to-pubkey address, the provided default
network will be associated with the returned Address instance.
Also, the tests have been updated to test the new functionality.
ok @owainga and @jrick.
Since all of the deprecated address conversion functions have been
removed, consolidate the remaining private key funcs and tests into
address.go and address_test.go, repectively.
The prefix byte (netID) which is used to encode address is the same for
both the public test and regression test networks. Previously the code
was working under the assumption there was a 1-to-1 mapping of prefix byte
to bitcoin network, however as noted above that assumption was not
correct.
This commit modifies things a bit to choose the prefix byte at address
creation time instead of at encode time and internally stores the prefix
byte instead of the network. It also adds a new function, IsForNet, to the
Address interface which allows callers to test if an address is valid for
the passed network type. The end result of this change is that callers
will only need to change their checks from testing if addr.Net() is the
active bitcoin network to instead using addr.IsForNet(activeNet).
Closes#2.
This commit changes three things with cert generation.
- The extended key usage field has been removed since specifying the
extended key usage field prevents the cert from working with firefox
even when it specifies it can be used as a server
- Creates a random serial number since browsers like firefox and chrome
won't accept two certificates with the same issuer and serial number
- Adds the digital signature key usage capability since some validators
like node.js expect that instead of key encipherment
btcd, btcwallet, and an upcomming standalone tool to generate the TLS
certificates all need a way to generate TLS certificate pairs. This
function, adapted from the cert gen code in btcd, abstracts this logic
so all programs can reuse the code.
Unlike the older btcd certificate generation code, this new function
allows specifying additional hostnames and IPs to add to the list of
addresses for which the cert is valid.
This commit adds a new concrete Address interface implementation for
pay-to-pubkey addresses. It supports uncompressed, compressed, and hybrid
pubkeys. It also provides a convenience method for converting to a
pay-to-pubkey-hash address.
This commit adds a new flag to the tests which controls whether or not an
address can be decoded. This is to support the upcoming public key
address type and possible future addresses which aren't directly
decodable.
This allows the addresses to be treated as fmt.Stringer for easy printing.
There is no difference between String and EncodeAddress (in fact String
just calls EncodeAddress).
Rather than repeating the same code in both the pay-to-pubkey-hash and
pay-to-script-hash encoding, refactor it into separate functions. This
makes it easier to support new networks, for example, since it can be
changed in one place.
Address is a generic interface for any type of "address" a
transaction can be sent to, including but not limited to
pay-to-pubkey, pay-to-pubkey-hash, and pay-to-script-hash.
This change implements Address and concrete types for P2PKH and P2SH
addresses with 100% test coverage. Pay-to-pubkey support will be
added in the future.
This API is intended to replace the old EncodeAddress/DecodeAddress
functions which are now deprecated.
This commit adds a new AppDataDir function that can be used to get an
operating system and application specific directory to be used for storing
application data.
For example:
dir := AppDataDir("myapp", false)
Would result in:
POSIX (Linux/BSD): ~/.myapp
Mac OS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Myapp
Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Myapp
Plan 9: $home/myapp
This is work toward conformal/btcd#30.
