Instead of using 3 fallthroughs with obscure cases, use a single
switch statement with just a one case. This switch is only evaluated
if a previous if statement body is entered. Functionally no
different, but imo this much easier to read, and removes two uses of !
to negate bools.
The category for a received coinbase output should be "generate" for a
mature coinbase (one that has reached btcchain.CoinbaseMaturity
confirmations), or "immature" if the required number of confirmations
has not been reached yet. New Confirmed and Confirmations methods
have been added to the transaction store's TxRecord type to check if
the required number of confirmations have been met for coinbase
outputs.
While here, update the main package to use the new TxRecord methods,
rather than duplicating the confirmation checking code in two places.
The connect option is already used by btcd to force a connection to
other full node peers. Wallet does not talk directly with these
peers, so the connect option is being renamed to something unique for
an RPC client connection.
The last transaction store was a great example of how not to write
scalable software. For a variety of reasons, it was very slow at
processing transaction inserts. Among them:
1) Every single transaction record being saved in a linked list
(container/list), and inserting into this list would be an O(n)
operation so that records could be ordered by receive date.
2) Every single transaction in the above mentioned list was iterated
over in order to find double spends which must be removed. It is
silly to do this check for mined transactions, which already have
been checked for this by btcd. Worse yet, if double spends were
found, the list would be iterated a second (or third, or fourth)
time for each removed transaction.
3) All spend tracking for signed-by-wallet transactions was found on
each transaction insert, even if the now spent previous transaction
outputs were known by the caller.
This list could keep going on, but you get the idea. It was bad.
To resolve these issues a new transaction store had to be implemented.
The new implementation:
1) Tracks mined and unmined transactions in different data structures.
Mined transactions are cheap to track because the required double
spend checks have already been performed by the chain server, and
double spend checks are only required to be performed on
newly-inserted mined transactions which may conflict with previous
unmined transactions.
2) Saves mined transactions grouped by block first, and then by their
transaction index. Lookup keys for mined transactions are simply
the block height (in the best chain, that's all we save) and index
of the transaction in the block. This makes looking up any
arbitrary transaction almost an O(1) operation (almost, because
block height and block indexes are mapped to their slice indexes
with a Go map).
3) Saves records in each transaction for whether the outputs are
wallet credits (spendable by wallet) and for whether inputs debit
from previous credits. Both structures point back to the source
or spender (credits point to the transaction that spends them, or
nil for unspent credits, and debits include keys to lookup the
transaction credits they spent. While complicated to keep track
of, this greatly simplifies the spent tracking for transactions
across rollbacks and transaction removals.
4) Implements double spend checking as an almost O(1) operation. A
Go map is used to map each previous outpoint for all unconfirmed
transactions to the unconfirmed tx record itself. Checking for
double spends on confirmed transaction inserts only involves
looking up each previous outpoint of the inserted tx in this map.
If a double spend is found, removal is simplified by only
removing the transaction and its spend chain from store maps,
rather than iterating a linked list several times over to remove
each dead transaction in the spend chain.
5) Allows the caller to specify the previous credits which are spent
by a debiting transaction. When a transaction is created by
wallet, the previous outputs are already known, and by passing
their record types to the AddDebits method, lookups for each
previously unspent credit are omitted.
6) Bookkeeps all blocks with transactions with unspent credits, and
bookkeeps the transaction indexes of all transactions with unspent
outputs for a single block. For the case where the caller adding a
debit record does not know what credits a transaction debits from,
these bookkeeping structures allow the store to only consider known
unspent transactions, rather than searching through both spent and
unspents.
7) Saves amount deltas for the entire balance as a result of each
block, due to transactions within that block. This improves the
performance of calculating the full balance by not needing to
iterate over every transaction, and then every credit, to determine
if a credit is spent or unspent. When transactions are moved from
unconfirmed to a block structure, the amount deltas are incremented
by the amount of all transaction credits (both spent and unspent)
and debited by the total amount the transaction spends from
previous wallet credits. For the common case of calculating a
balance with just one confirmation, the only involves iterating
over each block structure and adding the (possibly negative)
amount delta. Coinbase rewards are saved similarly, but with a
different amount variable so they can be seperatly included or
excluded.
Due to all of the changes in how the store internally works, the
serialization format has changed. To simplify the serialization
logic, support for reading the last store file version has been
removed. Past this change, a rescan (run automatically) will be
required to rebuild the transaction history.
This fixes a bug with the authentication handling for websocket
clients where it was possible that even after supplying bad
authentication using the HTTP Authorization header, the connection
would remain open and flagged as unauthenticated, and clients (if they
somehow knew auth failed, although btcwallet would never tell them
until after they failed their next request) could try their hand at
authorization again by issuing an authenticate request.
While I don't know of any reason the above described bug could result
in a security leak, it's better to fail the connection as soon as
possible if they failed their first authentication attempt.
While here, also set a read deadline of 10 seconds for the first
request. If the initial handshake cannot complete in this timeframe,
the connection is terminated. This matches the behavior in btcd, and
prevents websocket clients from connecting without the Authorization
header and never issuing their first authenticate request.
The websocket extension command to register for notifications when an
address receives funds has been renamed. This commit catches up to the
change.
ok @jrick
Calling Bytes() on a big.Int strips any leading padding zeros. This
change fixes the test to always pad the byte slice for a private key
to a length of 32.
This commit modifies all code paths which work with transaction result
objects to use the concrete ListTransactionsResult provided by the btcjson
package. This provides nicer marshalling and unmarshalling as well as
access to properly typed fields.
- 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 takes advantage of the RawMessage type in the
encoding/json package to defer unmarshaling of all JSON-RPC values
until absolutely necessary.
This is particularly important for request passthrough when btcwallet
must ask btcd to handle a chain request for a wallet client. In the
previous code, during the marshal and unmarshal dance to set the
original client's request id in the btcd response, large JSON numbers
were being mangled to use (scientific) E notation even when they could
be represented as a integer without any loss of precision.
- Move the MarkAddresForAccount and LookupAccountByAddress functionality
into account maanger.
- Move the wallet opeing logic into account manager (the only place that calls
it) and unexport.
- Move accountHandler to using a single channel for commands. Many of
the commands have ordering restraints (add account, list all accounts,
remove account, access account, mark account for address) which are very
much undefined with the multi-channel model.
- Rework all callers of LookupAccountByAddress to get the account structure
directly.
This change fixes the reply for listunspent to return a JSON object in
the same format as done by the reference implementation. Previously,
listunspent would return an array of the same objects as returned for
listtransactions.
This change adds a notification handler for the new rescanprogress
notification and takes advantage of the recent rescan manager and
partial syncing support to mark addresses as partially synced. If the
network connection to btcd is lost or wallet is restarted during a
rescan, a new rescan will start at the earliest block height for any
wallet address, taking partial syncs into consideration.
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.
Recent btcd versions only allow one rescan to run at any given time
per websocket client. To better handle this, a new set of goroutines
are started by the account manager which batch and serialize rescan
jobs.
If no rescans are currently running, a new rescan starts. If a rescan
is already being processed, the request is queued and runs after the
current rescan finishes. For any additional incoming requests before
the current rescan finishes, the requests are merged with the
currently-waiting request so both can be handled with a single rescan.
This change also prepares for rescan progress notifications from btcd,
but are still unhandled until the necessary details for
partially-synced addresses are added to the wallet file format.
