// Package wtxmgr provides an implementation of a transaction database handling
|
|
// spend tracking for a bitcoin wallet. Its primary purpose is to save
|
|
// transactions with outputs spendable with wallet keys and transactions that
|
|
// are signed by wallet keys in memory, handle spend tracking for unspent
|
|
// outputs and newly-inserted transactions, and report the spendable balance
|
|
// from each unspent transaction output. It uses walletdb as the backend for
|
|
// storing the serialized transaction objects in buckets.
|
|
//
|
|
// Transaction outputs which are spendable by wallet keys are called credits
|
|
// (because they credit to a wallet's total spendable balance). Transaction
|
|
// inputs which spend previously-inserted credits are called debits (because
|
|
// they debit from the wallet's spendable balance).
|
|
//
|
|
// Spend tracking is mostly automatic. When a new transaction is inserted, if
|
|
// it spends from any unspent credits, they are automatically marked spent by
|
|
// the new transaction, and each input which spent a credit is marked as a
|
|
// debit. However, transaction outputs of inserted transactions must manually
|
|
// marked as credits, as this package has no knowledge of wallet keys or
|
|
// addresses, and therefore cannot determine which outputs may be spent.
|
|
//
|
|
// Details regarding individual transactions and their credits and debits may be
|
|
// queried either by just a transaction hash, or by hash and block. When
|
|
// querying for just a transaction hash, the most recent transaction with a
|
|
// matching hash will be queried. However, because transaction hashes may
|
|
// collide with other transaction hashes, methods to query for specific
|
|
// transactions in the chain (or unmined) are provided as well.
