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 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.
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.
This change introduces additional network activity with the btcd
process to ensure that the network connection is not silently dropped.
Previously, if the connection was lost (e.g. wallet runs on a laptop
and connects to remote btcd, and the laptop is suspended/resumed) the
lost connection would not be detectable since all normal RPC activity
(excluding requests from btcwallet to btcd made by the user) is in the
direction of btcd to wallet in the form of websocket notifications.
sync.Locker cannot be safely used to switch a sync.Mutex to a noop
locker since other goroutines that attempt to lock the mutex will race
on the changing interface. Instead, just statically dispatch
sync.Mutex methods.
Rather than the main package being responsible for opening the address
and transaction managers, the namespaces of these components are
passed as parameters to the wallet.Open function.
Additionally, the address manager Options struct has been split into
two: ScryptOptions which holds the scrypt parameters needed during
passphrase key derivation, and OpenCallbacks which is only passed to
the Open function to allow the caller to provide additional details
during upgrades.
These changes are being done in preparation for a notification server
in the wallet package, with callbacks passed to the Open and Create
functions in waddrmgr and wtxmgr. Before this could happen, the
wallet package had to be responsible for actually opening the managers
from their namespaces.
To increase compatibility with Bitcoin Core Wallet, additional fields
were added to and other fields made optional for the listtransactions
and gettransaction results structs. For both, fee was changed to be
optional (including the zero value is allowed).
Rather than disallowing the default account to be renamed as was
proposed in #245 (and implemented in #246), the default account name
is no longer considered a reserved name by the address manager.
Instead, it is simply the initial name used for the first initial
account.
A database upgrade removes any additional aliases for the default
account in the database. This prevents a lookup for some name which
is not an account name from mapping to the default account
unexpectedly (potentially preventing incorrect account usage from the
RPC server due to bad iteraction with default parameters).
All unset account names in a JSON-RPC request are expected to be set
nil by btcjson. This behavior depends on btcsuite/btcd#399.
Additionally, the manager no longer considers the wildcard * to be a
reserved account name. Due to poor API decisions, the RPC server
overloads the meaning of account fields to optionally allow referring
to all accounts at a time, or a single account. This is not a address
manager responsibility, though, as a future cleaner API should not use
multiple differet meanings for the same field across multiple
requests. Therefore, don't burden down future APIs with this quirk
and prevent incorrect wildcard usage from the RPC server.
Closes#245.
This a refactor of the btcwallet main package to create a new wallet
package.
The main feature of this package is the integration of all the other
wallet components (waddrmgr, txstore, and chain) and the Wallet type is
'runnable', so it will be continuously updating itself against changes
notified by the remote btcd instance.
It also includes several methods which provide access to information
necessary to run a wallet RPC server.
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 fixes the asynchronous deferred locking that used to be
performed after some timeout after a call to walletpassphrase by
managing the locked state of each account in a new account manager
goroutine. The timeouts for new unlock requests replace any running
timeouts for older requests, rather than allowing previous timeouts to
expire before the most recent one.
Fixes#105.
If the transaction store cannot be opened and read (i.e. the version
is too old to be deserialized), the wallet is marked unsynced and
rewritten, and a new empty transaction store is written over the
previous.
This change immediately writes a new empty transaction store out to
disk if the old one could not be read. Since old transaction store
versions are not read in at start, and were previously not written out
until new transaction history was received, it was possible that a
full rescan started and finished without ever marking a synced tx
history for the next wallet start.
This is an intial pass at converting the btcwallet and deps codebases
to pass a network by their parameters, rather than by a magic number
to identify the network. The parameters in params.go have been
updated to embed a *btcnet.Params, and all previous uses of cfg.Net()
have been replaced with activeNet.{Params,Net} (where activeNet is
the global var for the active network).
Although dependancy packages have not yet been updated from using
btcwire.BitcoinNet to btcnet.Params, the parameters are now accessible
at all callsites, and individual packages can be updated to use btcnet
without requiring updates in each external btc* package at once.
While here, the exported API for btcwallet internal library packages
(txstore and wallet) have been updated to pass full network parameters
rather than the btcwire definition of a network.
- Instead of returning a special constructed type whenever queries for an
address. Return the internal object with an immutable external
interface.
- Make the private key gettable from PubKeyAddress to prevent having to look up
multiple times to get information from the same structure
- Enforce addresses always have public keys.
This change reappropriates the unused `last block` field from Armory's
wallet format to hold the block chain height for a partially synced
address, that is, an address that has been partially synced to
somewhere between its first seen block and the most recently seen
block. The wallet's SyncHeight method has been updated to return
partial heights as well.
The actual marking of partially unsynced address from a rescan
progress update is not implemented yet.
Now using w.IsLocked() for all instances of above.
Also changed one other place where the logic had to be reversed
in nextChainedAddress (len(w.secret) == 32 was the condition).
The private key import codepath (called when handling the
importprivkey RPC method) was not triggering rescans for the imported
address. This change begins a new rescan for each import and adds
additional logic to the wallet file to keep track of unsynced imported
addresses. After a rescan on an imported address completes, the
address is marked as in sync with the rest of wallet and future
handshake rescans will start from the last seen block, rather than the
import height of the unsynced address.
While here, improve the logging for not just import rescans, but
rescanning on btcd connect (part of the handshake) as well.
Fixes#74.
Move the stuff that scripts can't possibly support out of the interface
and move about two type assertions so that everything still works. They
key-using interfaces can be made into a KeyedAddress itnerface if we add
any more.
Add a walletAddress interface to handle the differences betweent he
different types. Stop using btcutil.AddressPubKeyHash everywhere and just use
the standard address.
Shortly we will add new types of address, so make AddressInfo an
interface, with concrete types providing address-specific information.
Adapt existing code to this new status quo.
The flag marking chained addresses as needing private keys be
generated on the next wallet unlock was not being correctly unset
after creating and encrypting the private key. After
serializing/deserializing the wallet, on next unlock, recreating
missing private keys would begin too early in the chain and fail due
to trying to encrypt an already encrypted address.
This change correctly unsets the flag and bumps the version so a
special case can be created for ignoring duplicate encryption attempts
when reading an old wallet file. Tests have also been added to the
chained pubkey test to test for this error case.
Previous to this commit, all change addresses were indistinguishable
from manually requested addresses. This adds a new function to return
the new address, setting a new change flag to true, and return the
change status with the AddressInfo.
This is needed as part of resolving #41 (getrawchangeaddress).
The exported watching wallet would include all imported addresses'
chain indexes added to the chain index map. Imported addresses are
special as they do not belong to the address chain, and this would
cause issues when serializing the wallet.
This adds a new function, ExtendActiveAddresses, to extend the number
of active addresses, generated by the address chain, by any arbitrary
positive number. This will be used for recovering wallet addresses
from a wallet backup, as well as getting the next as many addresses as
required to keep a watching wallet in sync with an original wallet
with the private keys, or sync an original wallet with new addresses
generated by the watching wallet.
This change introduces a new function to export a wallet in memory to
a watching wallet. Watching wallets allow to watch for balance
changes and transactions to wallet addresses while only storing the
public parts of a wallet (no private keys). New addresses created by
the watching wallet will use pubkey address chaining and will allow to
receive funds to an indefinite number of new addresses, and create the
private keys for said addresses from the non-watching wallet later.
The actual exporting of a watching wallet to a file (triggered by an
RPC request) is not yet implemented.
While here, fix an issue found by new test code for the chained
address code which incorrectly set the starting index of addresses in
the chain needing private keys to be created.
This change adds a check for a valid (32-byte length) secret before
attempting to encrypt or decrypt any addresses. If the check fails, a
meaningful error (ErrWalletLocked) is returned to the caller, rather
than an error out of the aes package.
This function was not implemented (returning zero values) and all
versioning is handled internally by the wallet's ReadFrom and WriteTo
functions. If the read wallet does not match the latest file version,
it is read in the old format, but always written back with the new
format.
The wallet package was using a sync.Mutex around the saved decryption
key (kept in memory for an unlocked wallet). As the wallet package is
designed to use no internal locking, and correct synchronization is
provided by the importers of the package, this mutex has been removed.
This change uses the ChainedPubKey function to create addresses from
the previous address's public key and the wallet chaincode, without
the need for the private key, if the keypool has been depleted and the
wallet is locked. This is done since the next chained private key is
unsolvable without a locked wallet.
If a wallet contains any of these chained addresses with missing
private keys, the private keys are created during the next wallet
unlock, using ChainedPrivKey.
This change adds a function to generate the next public key of the
address chain from the previous public key and chaincode, without
needing the previous address's private key. This will be used to
allow generating new addresses with an unlocked wallet, where the
private keys are created on the next unlock.
Tests have been added to verify that the chained private and private
keys match each other (using both chaining functions) as well as an
expected value in the test case. ECDSA signature creation and
verifiction is also performed using the generated keypairs to verify
the next keypair is valid.
btcwallet originally correctly copied the behavior of armory when
chaining new private keys off the previous private key, but this
regressed in commit e8265eca41 with a
switch from double sha256 to a single sha256.
This change reverts the behavior (using the clearly-named function
btcwire.DoubleSha256) to match armory's and old btcwallet's address
chaining algorithm.
If you have flipped the switch to use btcwallet on mainnet, any newly
generated addresses created for the keypool after Jan 6, 2014 (the
date the regression was committed) should be backed up with
dumpprivkey (using btcctl) and a new wallet backup should be made of
your current wallet file (~/.btcwallet/mainnet/wallet.bin on unix) to
avoid the possibility of losing any real money.
This change saves (at most) the last 20 block hashes to disk. Upon
btcd connect, in the handshake, btcwallet checks whether btcd's best
chain still contains these blocks, starting from the most recently
added block and continuing until the earliest saved. If any blocks
are missing, Tx history and UTXOs from any blocks no longer in the
chain are removed, and a rescan is started from after the best block
still in the main chain.
If all previous block hashes are exhausted (either due to a large
reorg, or because not enough blocks have been seen), a full rescan is
triggered (full meaning from the earliest block that matters to this
wallet) since the last synced up to point is no longer available.
The previous 20 seen block hashes are saved to the wallet file, which
required bumping the file version. Older wallets written with lesser
versions will use the previous reading function, making this change
backwards compatible.
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 adds the necessary bits for handling importing addresses for the
wallet file format, as well as implementing the importprivkey and
dumpprivkey RPC requests.
Initial code by dhill.
Wallets that include compressed pubkeys are no longer compatible with
armory, however, imported wallets from armory (using uncompressed
pubkeys) are still valid.
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 switches the time fields (firstSeen/lastSeen) of an
address from uint64 to int64, to be compatible with (time.Time).Unix,
as well as changing the block height fields (firstBlock/lastBlock)
from uint32 to int32, since block height is normally represented
signed.
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.
