In case of a btcd restart, it is necessary to send unmined
transactions back to btcd so they can be added to the tx mempool.
btcd can make a best-try effort, but It is ultimately btcwallet's
responsibility that transactions appear in blocks even if btcd is
restarted.
This change fixes many issues with the tracking of unspent transaction
outputs. First, notifications for when UTXOs arse spent are now
requested from btcd, and when spent, will be removed from the
UtxoStore.
Second, when transactions are created, the unconfirmed (not yet in a
block) Utxo (with block height -1 and zeroed block hash) is added to
the wallet's UtxoStore. Notifications for when this UTXO is spent are
also requested from btcd. After the tx appears in a block, because
the UTXO has a pkScript to be spent by another owned wallet address, a
notification with the UTXO will be sent to btcwallet. We already
store the unconfirmed UTXO, so at this point the actual block height
and hash are filled in.
Finally, when calculating the balance, if confirmations is zero,
unconfirmed UTXOs (block height -1) will be included in the balance.
Otherwise, they are ignored.
The notification ID for new transactions to a watched address comment
is unneeded, as OpenWallet does not attempt to track wallets against a
connected btcd instance. Added an additional comment to the function
noting this.
A log.Debugf was also added so tracked addresses are shown in the
debug output.
This copies the functionality of btcd for choosing the ports for the
HTTP client (for btcd) and server (for frontends). On testnet, the
following ports are used as default:
- btcd: 18334
- frontends: 18332
When running with the (currently disabled) --mainnet flag, btcwallet
will choose the following ports by default:
- btcd: 8334
- frontends: 8332
Both ports can be overridden no matter the chosen network using the -b
and -p flags.
While fixing this code, the dirty flag was also cleared so that
unneeded syncs wouldn't be needed later. The dirty flag set and sync
was also added for the 'getnewaddress' handler, as it was previously
missing.
This runs a syncer once every minute to write any dirty wallet data
structures out to disk. As currently implemented, dirty wallets will
be lost if not written before btcwallet closes or crashes.
Deterministic wallet help migitate this issue (as private keys can be
created again as long as a previous wallet file was written) but this
can still be a nuisance as a longer rescan will be required to catch
up to chain.
This removes inputs spent by a transaction from the stored UTXOs. If
the UtxoStore is modified, all frontends are notified of the new
confirmed and unconfirmed account balances.
More work must be done later to check that the transaction actually
does occur in a later block. btcd will make a best try effort to
relay the tx to the network, but it is still ultimately btcwallet's
responsibility. Added a TODO so I remember to do this in the future.
We need to notify frontends of notifications for every account
(wallet), not just the "current" opened account, since wallet will
need to have multiple wallets open at the same time. Frontends will
have to filter notifications to show only details of only one account
if they need to display just one account at a time.
As of this commit, account balances and lock state notifications are
using this per-account notification scheme.
Use on mainnet is not recommended until extensive testing has been
done, and should be done at your own risk. Run btcwallet with
--mainnet to operate on main Bitcoin network.
