Previously, addresses that belong to a watch-only account would have a
derivation path using the internal account number used to identify
accounts within the databse, rather than the actual account number based
on the account's master public key child index. This wasn't an issue
before as only one account would exist within the wallet, the 0 account,
which is also the default. To ensure users of the DerivationPath struct
can arrive at addresses correctly, we introduce a new field
InternalAccount to denote the internal account number and repurpose the
existing Account field to its actual meaning.
All label parameter to PublishTransaction. Pass in an empty string
in rpc call as a placeholder for follow up PR which will add a label
parameter to the PublishTransaction request.
This changes the database access APIs and each of the "manager"
packages (waddrmgr/wstakemgr) so that transactions are opened (only)
by the wallet package and the namespace buckets that each manager
expects to operate on are passed in as parameters.
This helps improve the atomicity situation as it means that many
calls to these APIs can be grouped together into a single
database transaction.
This change does not attempt to completely fix the "half-processed"
block problem. Mined transactions are still added to the wallet
database under their own database transaction as this is how they are
notified by the consensus JSON-RPC server (as loose transactions,
without the rest of the block that contains them). It will make
updating to a fixed notification model significantly easier, as the
same "manager" APIs can still be used, but grouped into a single
atomic transaction.
Remove the addresses field from TransactionDetails.Output. It is
assumed that the caller is able to deserialize the transaction and
encode the output scripts to addresses, so this is unnecessary server
overhead and conflicts with the current API philosophy of not
duplicating data already included in another field.
Since there is no additional data included for outputs not controlled
by the wallet, remove the `mine` specifier from the Output message and
replace it with an output index. Only include messages for controlled
outputs, rather than creating messages for both controlled and
uncontrolled outputs. Rename the repeated field from `outputs` to
`credits` to be consistent with the `debits` field.
Bump major API version as this is a breaking change.
Closes#408.
This updates both btcsuite and external dependencies to their latest
versions. In particular, gRPC was updated to version 1.0.3 and bolt
to 1.3.0.
The walletrpc package needed to be regenerated for the gRPC update.
While here, update the Travis-CI script so this can be tested there.
Since the coinbase maturity is now allowed to be defined per chain and
the old blockchain.CoinbaseMaturity constant has been removed, this
updates the code accordingly.
Also, update glide.lock to use the required version of btcd.
This updates all code to make use of the new chainhash package since the
old wire.ShaHash type and related functions have been removed in favor
of the abstracted package.
Also, while here, rename all variables that included sha in their name
to include hash instead.
Finally, update glide.lock to use the required version of btcd, btcutil,
and btcrpcclient.

Replace all calls to getrawtransaction with gettxout.
As btcd no longer enables the transaction index by default,
getrawtransaction can no longer be depended on. gettxout is safe to
use since it queries the utxo set. This also means that it will
continue to work even when pruning is enabled.
This should be further improved in the future to not look up previous
output scripts over btcd rpc when they are already saved by the
wallet.
Fixes#410.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
