When an OS reboots or shuts down, it sends all processes SIGTERM before
sending SIGKILL. This allows btcwallet to do a proper shutdown which
most importantly closes the databases.
When 29f31725ee deprecated the datadir
option, replacing it with --appdata/-A, the short --datadir option was
unintentinally changed from -b to -D. It was previously changed to -b
in fda2e14b99 for consistency with
btcd's --datadir short option.
This change reverts the unintentional switch back to -D.
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 modifies the default configuration file to be relative to the
application data directory (configuratble with --appdata). If there
is no configuration file in this directory, then no additional
configuration options are applied (it does not fallback to
~/.btcwallet/btcwallet.conf).
Fixes#421.
This fixes home directory expansion on Windows and OS X. Previously
on these platforms, a leading ~ would expand to %LOCALAPPDATA% on
Windows or ~/Library/Application Support/ on OS X.
While here, add support for ~otheruser expansion to expand to
otheruser's home directory.
This change only removes optimizations for older Go releases that we
no longer support in the internal/zero package. This package should
still continue to build on older releases.
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.
Due to the way dust is calculated, if the transaction relay fee is
zero, then a zero output amount is not considered dust. As the
transaction authoring code used this dust check to determine whether a
change output can be included or not, it could create unnecessary
change outputs which return no value back to the wallet. Prevent this
by including an explicit check for zero values.
This tool creates on-chain transactions, one per used address in a
source account, to sweep all output value to new addresses in a
different destination account.
The vet tool moved to the Go tree as of go1.5 so it does not
need to be installed seperately. With the x/tools repo now gone,
remove the install step for vet since it fails.
This fixes a deadlock where failed transactions due to the namespaces'
bucket being missing would cause deadlocks due to bolt's mmap rwmutex
still being read or write locked (and no way to unlock it, since the
underlying bolt tx was not returned on failure).
This changes the wtxmgr.Store.UnminedTxs method to sort transactions,
using the Kahn topological sort algorithm, before returning
transactions to the caller. This is possible because transactions
form a sort of directed acyclic graph (DAG) where transactions
reference other transactions to spend their outputs (multiple
referenced outputs from a single transaction spent by the same
transaction count as a single graph edge).
This prevents the possibility of orphan rejection errors when sending
unmined transactions to a full node at startup. As these transactions
are sent using the sendrawtransaction RPC, which does not permit
orphans, this topological sort is required.
Fixes#156.
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.
This changes the wallet.Open function signature to remove the database
namespace parameters. This is done so that the wallet package itself
is responsible for the location and opening of these namespaces from
the database, rather than requiring the caller to open these ahead of
time.
A new wallet.Create function has also been added. This function
initializes a new wallet in an empty database, using the same
namespaces as wallet.Open will eventually use. This relieves the
caller from needing to manage wallet database namespaces explicitly.
Fixes#397.
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 change only prevents creating new accounts with the empty name or
renaming an existing account to one. Any accounts in the DB that are
already named the empty string are left untouched (and should be
renamed to something meaningful by the user).
Fixes#369.
Note that this is a breaking change since it removes the mainnet
config option, replacing it with a testnet option. Old configuration
files that set mainnet=1 will cause the wallet to error during startup
since extraneous flags are treated as errors.
Because configuration files will have to be updated for the change
regardless, the old deprecated (and unused) options `disallowfree` and
`keypoolsize` have also been removed.
Closes#383.
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.
