Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be required to rebuild the transaction history.

A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent.

The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be required to rebuild the transaction history.

Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be required to rebuild the transaction history.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent.

Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits.

For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map.

Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed.

For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent.

For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction.

This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be required to rebuild the transaction history.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software.

While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be required to rebuild the transaction history.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent.

For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction.

This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be required to rebuild the transaction history.

If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be required to rebuild the transaction history.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map.

When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block.

Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be required to rebuild the transaction history.

When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits.

If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be required to rebuild the transaction history.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation.

Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be required to rebuild the transaction history.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be required to rebuild the transaction history.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be required to rebuild the transaction history.

Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent.

Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from, these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and unspents. 7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be required to rebuild the transaction history.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller.

This improves the performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent) and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative) amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or excluded. Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization logic, support for reading the last store file version has been removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be required to rebuild the transaction history.

Another day, another tx store implementation. The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at processing transaction inserts. Among them: 1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list (container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n) operation so that records could be ordered by receive date. 2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth) time for each removed transaction. 3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction outputs were known by the caller. This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad. To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented. The new implementation: 1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures. Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and double spend checks are only required to be performed on newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous unmined transactions. 2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes with a Go map). 3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions across rollbacks and transaction removals. 4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map. If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps, rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove each dead transaction in the spend chain. 5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each previously unspent credit are omitted. 6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent outputs for a single block.
