This package is used solely for the storage of private and public
keys, and the addresses they represent. Since "wallet" is an
overloaded term and a working wallet requires transaction history as
well, rename this package and its data structures to more clearly
reflect what it is for.
This change replaces the old transaction store file format and
implementation. The most important change is how the full backing
transactions for any received or sent transaction are now saved,
rather than simply saving parsed-out details of the tx (tx shas, block
height/hash, pkScripts, etc.).
To support the change, notifications for received transaction outputs
and txs spending watched outpoints have been updated to use the new
redeemingtx and recvtx notifications as these contain the full tx,
which is deserializead and inserted into the store.
The old transaction store serialization code is completely removed, as
updating to the new format automatically cannot be done. Old wallets
first running past this change will error reading the file and start a
full rescan to rebuild the data. Unlike previous rescan code,
transactions spending outpoint managed by wallet are also included.
This results in recovering not just received history, but history for
sent transactions as well.
Use the new confirmed function to test whether unspent transaction
outputs are confirmed enough to be used as a possible transaction
inputs instead of the old check (which was incorrect and required an
extra confirmation).
Modified the test to require one confirmation instead of none so the
confirmed enough check actually occurs.
This change removes the three separate mutexes which used to lock an
account's wallet, tx store, and utxo store. Accounts no longer
contain any locking mechanism and rely on go's other synchronization
constructs (goroutines and channels) for correct access.
All accounts are now managed as a collection through the new
AccountManager, rather than the old AccountStore. AccountManager runs
as its own goroutine to provide access to accounts.
RPC requests are now queued for handling, being denied if the queue
buffer is exhausted. Notifications are also queued (instead of being
sent from their own goroutine after being received, in which order is
undefined), however, notifications are never dropped and will
potentially grow a queue of infinite size if unhandled.
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 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.
