In this commit, we address an issue with the wallet where it would
always request a rescan from the birthday block. This is very crucial
for older wallets, as it'll potentially go through thousands of blocks.
To address this, we'll now only request a rescan from our birthday if
we're recovering our wallet from our seed, the birthday block was rolled
back, or if we're performing our initial sync. Otherwise, we'll request
a rescan from tip.
In this commit, we address a slight regression within the wallet
that was introduced in a previous commit. When attempting to send coins
on-chain, we would never ask the chain backend to notify us of the
transaction upon confirmation. This, along with the rebroadcast of
unconfirmed transactions logic, would result in the wallet becoming out
of sync with the chain.
Below is an example of how this could have happened:
1. Send funds on-chain.
2. Wallet doesn't ask to be notified of the confirmation.
3. Since the wallet is not notified of the confirmation, the
transaction remains in the unconfirmed bucket, even though it might
have already confirmed on-chain.
4. Restart and trigger the rebroadcast of unconfirmed transactions.
5. The unconfirmed transaction is removed from the unconfirmed bucket
due to it already existing on-chain, without it being moved to the
confirmed bucket. Moving to the confirmed bucket would require the
block at which it confirmed, which we don't have at this point.
ImportPrivateKey
In this commit, we ensure that when an external private key is imported
into the wallet, that we do not overwrite our existing birthday with the
one provided. If this were to happen and we forced a wallet rescan using
the birthday as our starting point, then we'd miss detecting relevant
on-chain events that occurred between them.
In this commit, we modify the wallet to use the new migration logic
provided by the recently introduced migration package. Additionally,
we'll also perform all of our upgrades within the same database
transaction to guarantee fault-tolerance of the wallet.
In this commit, we relax the initial sync detection logic a bit. We do
this as right now, if a user creates an address during the sync point,
if they restart, then we'll fall back to performing a rescan from that
height as we'll detect that we aren't performing the initial sync, so
won't pick up the birthday timestamp.
To fix this, we now declare that if we have no UTXO's, then we're still
performing the initial sync. This solves this issue as when the user
restarts, we'll continue to wait for the backend to sync, and pick up
the proper birthday height before we attempt to scan forward for the
rescan. However, the one tradeoff is that we'll now always start the
rescan from the birthday height until the wallet has gained it's first
UTXO. I don't think this is too bad, as after all, the point of a wallet
is to manage utxos.
In this commit, we refactor the logic outside of PublishTransaction into
another unexported method. This will pave the road for unifying the
logic between SendOutputs and PublishTransaction.
In this commit, we simplify the logic when broadcasting transactions to
the greater network. Rather than special casing when running with a
Neutrino backend, we'll always add the transaction to the store as
relevant when attempting to broadcast it. This will properly insert it
into the store and update unconfirmed balances. In the event that the
transaction failed to broadcast, it can be removed from the store with
no side-effects, essentially acting as if the transaction was never
added to the store in the first place.
In this commit, we modify the SendOutputs method to also notify new
outgoing transctions for neutriino. For the full node backends, they'll
get this notification when the transactino hits the mempool. However,
for neutrino it will only be notified once the transaction has been
confirmed. This commit ensures that we'll notify on send as well.
This PR moves any address notifications outside of the
db transaction that creates them. This is known to have
resulted in deadlocks, since chainClient.NotifyReceived
could block the db transaction from committing.
Doing so also prevents the situation where we send
notifications about the new addresses, but the db txn
fails to commit and the addresses are in fact never
created.
In this commit, ensure that upon restart, if any of the full-node based
backends we support reject the transaction, then we'll properly remove
the now invalid transaction from the tx store. Before this commit, we
could miss a few errors from bitcoind. To remedy this, we explicitly
catch those errors, but then also attempt to precisely catch the set of
generic json RPC errors that can be returned.
In this commit, we fix a bug introduced in an earlier commit. Before
this commit, we would *always* remove an unmined transaction if it
failed to be accepted by the network upon restart. Instead, we should
only remove transaction that are actually due to us trying to spend an
output that’s already spent, or an orphan transaction.
In this commit, we extend the PublishTransction method to be a more
general semi reliable transaction broadcast mechanism. We do this by
removing the special casing for neutrino. With this change, we’ll
_always_ write any transactions to be broadcast to disk. A side effect
of this, is that if the transaction doesn’t *directly* involve any
outputs we control, then it’ll linger around until a restart, when we
try to rebroadcast, and observe that it has bene rejected.
In this commit, we do away with the internal relayFee all together.
Instead, we’ll pass in the fee rate when we’re crafting any
transactions. This allows the caller to manually dictate their desired
fee rate.
During the time of initial block hash catch-up, it is possible to
request an address be generated. This commit updates the active
addresses by calling `w.activeData` after the catch-up is complete.
