This change greatly cleans up the RPC connection between btcwallet and
btcd. Proper (JSON-RPC spec-following) notifications are now expected
rather than Responses with a non-empty IDs.
A new RPCConn interface type has also been introduced with a
BtcdRPCConn concrete type for btcd RPC connections. Non-btcd-specific
code handles the RPCConn, while the btcd details have been abstracted
away to a handful of functions. This will make it easier to write
tests by creating a new fake RPC connection with hardcoded expected
replies.
This change copies the listening behavior of btcd by replacing the
--serverport option with --listen. By default, btcwallet will only
listen for localhost connections, but with this change it will be
possible to add listeners for remote connections.
This was added due to finding a bug with updateConfigWithActiveParams.
After consulting the btcd source code, the bug was fixed by replacing
the function (as it was no longer needed) when the new listening code
was introduced.

This changes the locations that account files (wallet.bin, utxo.bin,
and tx.bin) are searched for when opening or disk syncing accounts.
Previously, files were saved in the following layout:
~/.btcwallet/
- btcwallet/
- wallet.bin
- tx.bin
- utxo.bin
- btcwallet-AccountA/
- wallet.bin
- tx.bin
- utxo.bin
This format had two issues. First, each account would require its own
directory, causing a scalability issue on unix (and perhaps other)
platforms. Second, there was no distinction between testnet and
mainnet wallets, and if mainnet support was enabled, btcwallet would
attempt to open accounts with testnet wallets.
Instead, the following file structure is now used:
~/.btcwallet/
- testnet/
- wallet.bin
- tx.bin
- utxo.bin
- AccountA-wallet.bin
- AccountA-tx.bin
- AccountA-utxo.bin
This solves both of the previously-mentioned issues by requiring only
two subdirectories (one each for the testnet and mainnet bitcoin
networks), and by separating the locations to open and save testnet
and mainnet account files.
At startup, a check for the old account file structure is performed.
If found, files are moved to the new locations, and the old account
directories are removed. Account files are moved to the testnet
directory, as only testnet support is currently enabled.
The version has been bumped to 0.1.1 to reflect this change.
Fixes#16.
This change adds an additional check when creating a new wallet or
extending the keypool. All public and private keypairs are parsed
from their serialized forms, and an ecdsa signature is created and
verified using the keypairs. If the verifiction fails at any point,
the wallet creation or keypool extension is aborted to prevent any
errors where an address is returned to a user, but any funds send to
that address are unspendable due to a mismatched keypair.
This change better organizes account handling by creating a new
AccountStore type and accountstore global variable, with receiver
funcs for all operations that require all accounts. More Account
funcs are also added to clean up account handling in the RPC code.
Intial work on this done by dhill.
This change adds support for the listtransactions RPC command. To
properly reply to this command, additonal information about received
transactions was added, and is now saved in an account's tx.bin file.
Additionally, when sending a transaction, a *tx.SendTx is now saved to
the Tx store, and is included in listtransactions replies under the
"send" category.
WARNING: All account's tx.bin and utxo.bin files should be removed
before running with this change, or else the files may not be read
correctly. Removing tx.bin is not an issue as it was not being used
before, and was being saved with incorrect data. Removing utxo.bin is
not an issue as it will just trigger a rescan on next start. File
format versions are now included in both files, so automatic updates
from previous file formats will be possible with future changes.
Fixes#12.
This adds an additional config option, -cafile, to specify the root
certificates checked when verifying a btcd TLC connection. btcd will
now automatically generate certs in
~/.btcd/data/{main,test}net/rpc.cert, and this file should be copied
to ~/.btcwallet/cert.pem.
The -btcdport option is also gone now, and replaced with -connect (or
-c), to specify both the hostname/ip and port of the server running
btcd.
With the exception of the createencryptedwallet extension (which is
required to make a wallet), all websocket-specific handlers are now
only available from a websocket connection, and standard RPC requests
are handled with a normal HTTP request and reply.
As an added bonus, listening on IPv6 now works.
This change modifies the order in which transaction to watched
addresses are processed and when frontend notifications occur. Due to
btcd notifying all transactions before sending the blockconnected
notification, the UTXO and transaction stores can be modified without
sending any frontend notifications, and then a single frontend
notification is sent when the blockconnected notification arrives.
The order in which each file is synced to disk was also changed to
write out the UTXO and transaction stores before writing the wallet.
This is to prevent a race where wallet closes after writing the dirty
wallet, but before the dirty UTXO store is written. In this
situation, newly added UTXOs will be missed and not found again on the
next wallet open during the rescan. Writing the wallet (which holds
the synced-to-block information) last prevents this.
An issue where the unconfirmed change UTXO created from a new
transaction never being properly notified to frontends is fixed now as
well.
This change moves the handlers to a map (instead of falling through a
switch statement), and updates each handler to use a btcjson.Cmd
instead of passing parameters in a btcjson.Message manually.
Plenty of comments were also added, which should also make the code
much more understandable.
This removes the enforced check for the spent field for tx-to-me
notifications, as this is no longer sent, and should be calculated by
wallet (not done yet). Additionally, the full CreatedTx information
is saved with the unmined tx map, so when a tx is mined, information
about which inputs and ouputs it creates that are relevant to the
wallet can be used.
When a wallet is opened, a rescan request will be sent to btcd with
all active addresses from the wallet, to rescan from the last synced
block (now saved to the wallet file) and the current best block.
As multi-account support is further explored, rescan requests should
be batched together to send a single request for all addresses from
all wallets.
This change introduces several changes to the wallet, tx, and utxo
files. Wallet files are still compatible, however, a rescan will try
to start at the genesis block since no correct "last synced to" or
"created at block X" was saved. The tx and utxo files, however, are
not compatible and should be deleted (or an error will occur on read).
If any errors occur opening the utxo file, a rescan will start
beginning at the creation block saved in the wallet.
This change copies the behavior of btcd for using seelog for logging,
including making timestamps human readable, and setting the default
logging level to info.
Fixes#8.
This change removes a lot of unnecessary and complicated locking (if
serializing requests is needed in the future, a goroutine will be used
instead) and also shifts the heavy lifting from frontends to btcwallet
itself to handle any notifications when they can be properly handled.
Although it's still legal to, frontends no longer need to explicitly
request account balances as these are calculated and sent as an async
notification on frontend connect, and these notifications will only
occur if btcd is currently connected. Likewise, when btcd connects,
all frontends are immediately notified of all notifications that
require btcd information, such as the current block height for
calculating account balances.
CalculateBalance now works correctly: if confirmations is 0, all UTXOs
will be used for the balance. Otherwise, unconfirmed UTXOs will be
exclused. 1 confirmation will allow the UTXO height and current block
height to be equal. Even though the difference is zero, the
transaction including the UTXO has been mined into one block.
This change also remove extraneous account balance notifications for
connected and disconnected blocks.
This change fixes many issues with the tracking of unspent transaction
outputs. First, notifications for when UTXOs arse spent are now
requested from btcd, and when spent, will be removed from the
UtxoStore.
Second, when transactions are created, the unconfirmed (not yet in a
block) Utxo (with block height -1 and zeroed block hash) is added to
the wallet's UtxoStore. Notifications for when this UTXO is spent are
also requested from btcd. After the tx appears in a block, because
the UTXO has a pkScript to be spent by another owned wallet address, a
notification with the UTXO will be sent to btcwallet. We already
store the unconfirmed UTXO, so at this point the actual block height
and hash are filled in.
Finally, when calculating the balance, if confirmations is zero,
unconfirmed UTXOs (block height -1) will be included in the balance.
Otherwise, they are ignored.
The notification ID for new transactions to a watched address comment
is unneeded, as OpenWallet does not attempt to track wallets against a
connected btcd instance. Added an additional comment to the function
noting this.
A log.Debugf was also added so tracked addresses are shown in the
debug output.
This copies the functionality of btcd for choosing the ports for the
HTTP client (for btcd) and server (for frontends). On testnet, the
following ports are used as default:
- btcd: 18334
- frontends: 18332
When running with the (currently disabled) --mainnet flag, btcwallet
will choose the following ports by default:
- btcd: 8334
- frontends: 8332
Both ports can be overridden no matter the chosen network using the -b
and -p flags.
While fixing this code, the dirty flag was also cleared so that
unneeded syncs wouldn't be needed later. The dirty flag set and sync
was also added for the 'getnewaddress' handler, as it was previously
missing.
This runs a syncer once every minute to write any dirty wallet data
structures out to disk. As currently implemented, dirty wallets will
be lost if not written before btcwallet closes or crashes.
Deterministic wallet help migitate this issue (as private keys can be
created again as long as a previous wallet file was written) but this
can still be a nuisance as a longer rescan will be required to catch
up to chain.
We need to notify frontends of notifications for every account
(wallet), not just the "current" opened account, since wallet will
need to have multiple wallets open at the same time. Frontends will
have to filter notifications to show only details of only one account
if they need to display just one account at a time.
As of this commit, account balances and lock state notifications are
using this per-account notification scheme.
This is a big change that also many general fixes to problems found
when creating transactions. In particular the Utxo and Tx formats and
serialization functions were updated with additional information that
would be necessary for rolling back old utxo and tx data data after
btcd chain switches. This change also implements the json methods
'sendfrom' and 'sendmany' to create a new transaction based on a
frontend request.
Transactions are currently not sent to btcd since the tx relay code is
not finished yet, so a temporary error is returned back to frontends
who try to send new transactions.
btcd now has only one notifier mechanism for received transactions to
a watched address. This previously combines the seperate notifiers
for generic tx and exclusively unspent outputs.
A new handler will be added to watch for spent outputs instead of
relying on the now-removed "btcd:sendtx" notification.
