This tool creates on-chain transactions, one per used address in a
source account, to sweep all output value to new addresses in a
different destination account.
The vet tool moved to the Go tree as of go1.5 so it does not
need to be installed seperately. With the x/tools repo now gone,
remove the install step for vet since it fails.
This fixes a deadlock where failed transactions due to the namespaces'
bucket being missing would cause deadlocks due to bolt's mmap rwmutex
still being read or write locked (and no way to unlock it, since the
underlying bolt tx was not returned on failure).
This changes the wtxmgr.Store.UnminedTxs method to sort transactions,
using the Kahn topological sort algorithm, before returning
transactions to the caller. This is possible because transactions
form a sort of directed acyclic graph (DAG) where transactions
reference other transactions to spend their outputs (multiple
referenced outputs from a single transaction spent by the same
transaction count as a single graph edge).
This prevents the possibility of orphan rejection errors when sending
unmined transactions to a full node at startup. As these transactions
are sent using the sendrawtransaction RPC, which does not permit
orphans, this topological sort is required.
Fixes#156.
This commit corrects various things found by the static checkers
(comments, unkeyed fields, return after some if/else).
Add generated files and legacy files to the whitelist to be ignored.
Catch .travis.yml up with btcd so goclean can be run.
This changes the wallet.Open function signature to remove the database
namespace parameters. This is done so that the wallet package itself
is responsible for the location and opening of these namespaces from
the database, rather than requiring the caller to open these ahead of
time.
A new wallet.Create function has also been added. This function
initializes a new wallet in an empty database, using the same
namespaces as wallet.Open will eventually use. This relieves the
caller from needing to manage wallet database namespaces explicitly.
Fixes#397.
These notifications were added to support real time updates for
btcgui. As the btcgui project is no longer being developed, there are
no more consumers of this API, and it makes sense to remove them given
their various issues (the largest being that notifiations are sent
unsubscribed to clients that may never be interrested in them).
A new notification server has already been added to the wallet package
to handle notifications in a RPC-server agnostic way. This server is
the means by which the wallet notifies changes for gRPC clients. If
per-client registered notifications are to be re-added for the
JSON-RPC server, they should be integrated with the new notification
server rather than using this legacy code.
This change only prevents creating new accounts with the empty name or
renaming an existing account to one. Any accounts in the DB that are
already named the empty string are left untouched (and should be
renamed to something meaningful by the user).
Fixes#369.
Note that this is a breaking change since it removes the mainnet
config option, replacing it with a testnet option. Old configuration
files that set mainnet=1 will cause the wallet to error during startup
since extraneous flags are treated as errors.
Because configuration files will have to be updated for the change
regardless, the old deprecated (and unused) options `disallowfree` and
`keypoolsize` have also been removed.
Closes#383.
This corrects and simplifies the shutdown logic for interrupts, the
walletrpc.WalletLoaderService/CloseWallet RPC, and the legacy stop RPC
by both stopping all wallet processes and closing the wallet database.
It appears that this behavior broke as part of the wallet package
refactor, causing occasional nil pointer panics and memory faults when
closing the wallet database with active transactions.
Fixes#282.
Fixes#283.
This began as a change to improve the fee calculation code and evolved
into a much larger refactor which improves the readability and
modularity of all of the transaction creation code.
Transaction fee calculations have been switched from full increments
of the relay fee to a proportion based on the transaction size. This
means that for a relay fee of 1e3 satoshis/kB, a 500 byte transaction
is only required to pay a 5e2 satoshi fee and a 1500 byte transaction
only need pay a 1.5e3 fee. The previous code would end up estimating
these fees to be 1e3 and 2e3 respectively.
Because the previous code would add more fee than needed in almost
every case, the transaction size estimations were optimistic
(best/smallest case) and signing was done in a loop where the fee was
incremented by the relay fee again each time the actual size of the
signed transaction rendered the fee too low. This has switched to
using worst case transaction size estimates rather than best case, and
signing is only performed once.
Transaction input signature creation has switched from using
txscript.SignatureScript to txscript.SignTxOutput. The new API is
able to redeem outputs other than just P2PKH, so the previous
restrictions about P2SH outputs being unspendable (except through the
signrawtransaction RPC) no longer hold.
Several new public packages have been added:
wallet/txauthor - transaction authoring and signing
wallet/txfees - fee estimations and change output inclusion
wallet/txrules - simple consensus and mempool policy rule checks
Along with some internal packages:
wallet/internal/txsizes - transaction size estimation
internal/helpers - context free convenience functions
The txsizes package is internal as the estimations it provides are
specific for the algorithms used by these new packages.
StartBtcdRpc becomes StartConsensusRpc.
This is useful for forks such as decred or if someone were to write
another compatible server.
Bump up the api version as this is a change.
The specification states that even when the target output amount
cannot be reached, all available outputs should still be included in
the response and it is up to the caller to check that the target can
be satisified or not. Follow this behavior by not erroring when the
target was not met.
This option prevents the RPC server TLS key from ever being written to
disk. This is performed by generating a new certificate pair each
startup and writing (possibly overwriting) the certificate but not the
key.
Closes#359.
Previously, when creating a change address during the process of
creating a new transaction an error case would be hit in the waddrmgr
triggered by attempting to derive a new internal address from under a
waddrmgr.ImportedAddrAccount. To remedy this error, we now use the
default account for change when spending outputs from an imported
key. This approach allows funds under the control of imported
private keys to be protected under the wallet's seed as soon as
they've been partially spent.
This prevents the server from returning an error when empty strings
are passed as parameters for transaction comments for the
sendfrom/sendmany/sendtoaddress RPCs. Non-empty strings will still
cause errors since transaction comments are not saved.
Fixes#356.
Previously, if a nil seed was passed into loader.CreateNewWallet, a
random seed was never generated. This would cause an error within the
waddrmgr due to the seed being of invalid (0) length.
This is a rather monolithic commit that moves the old RPC server to
its own package (rpc/legacyrpc), introduces a new RPC server using
gRPC (rpc/rpcserver), and provides the ability to defer wallet loading
until request at a later time by an RPC (--noinitialload).
The legacy RPC server remains the default for now while the new gRPC
server is not enabled by default. Enabling the new server requires
setting a listen address (--experimenalrpclisten). This experimental
flag is used to effectively feature gate the server until it is ready
to use as a default. Both RPC servers can be run at the same time,
but require binding to different listen addresses.
In theory, with the legacy RPC server now living in its own package it
should become much easier to unit test the handlers. This will be
useful for any future changes to the package, as compatibility with
Core's wallet is still desired.
Type safety has also been improved in the legacy RPC server. Multiple
handler types are now used for methods that do and do not require the
RPC client as a dependency. This can statically help prevent nil
pointer dereferences, and was very useful for catching bugs during
refactoring.
To synchronize the wallet loading process between the main package
(the default) and through the gRPC WalletLoader service (with the
--noinitialload option), as well as increasing the loose coupling of
packages, a new wallet.Loader type has been added. All creating and
loading of existing wallets is done through a single Loader instance,
and callbacks can be attached to the instance to run after the wallet
has been opened. This is how the legacy RPC server is associated with
a loaded wallet, even after the wallet is loaded by a gRPC method in a
completely unrelated package.
Documentation for the new RPC server has been added to the
rpc/documentation directory. The documentation includes a
specification for the new RPC API, addresses how to make changes to
the server implementation, and provides short example clients in
several different languages.
Some of the new RPC methods are not implementated exactly as described
by the specification. These are considered bugs with the
implementation, not the spec. Known bugs are commented as such.
Removed links to outdated btcsuite MSIs, replacing these with links to
Github releases.
Combined installation and updating instructions since they are
identical.
Added Windows to the list of operating systems that the "Build from
source" instructions work with.
Added PowerShell examples for copying the sample btcd and btcwallet
configs for both MSI and source installs.
This change moves the chain and network parameter definitions, along
with the default client and server ports, to a package for reuse by
other utilities (most notably, tools in the cmd dir). Along with it,
functions commonly used for config parsing and validation are moved to
an internal package since they will also be useful for distributed
tools.
