* Previously, if the call to SetUp(..) returned an error, then the test
harness would fail to stop the running bcd process, and clean up the
test directories. This would cause any subsequent tests to fail. This
commit remedies this scenario.
Allows us to remove a lot of duplicated code pertaining to wallet
setup. We also gain hooks into the wallet to trigger callbacks once the
wallet is created/opened.
Instead of creating “fake” utxos for bob, and alice. We now employ a
dedicated mining node to hand out utxos, and generate blocks with hand
picked transactions.
A major change for btcwallet adding a new RPC wallet, refactoring parts
of the wallet, and introducing new functionality has been introduced.
This commit updates lnwallet to the API changes. A future commit will
change lnwallet to use some of the new functionality such as the
notification server, etc.
Select over the quit channel in order to shutdown goroutines waiting
for funding txn confirmations. Without this we may leak goroutines
which are blocked forever if the process isn’t exiting when the walet
is signaled to shutdown.
* Hooks into the ChainNotifier infrastructure to receive a notification
once the funding transaction gets enough notifications.
* Still need to set up the notification grouting within a
LightningChannel to watch for uncooperative closures, and broadcasts
and revoked channel states.
* In preparation for regression testing once nodetest is finished.
* These sections we’re previously uncommented to allow for testing the
wallet without a full-node hooked up.
* Updates to the channel are made atomic, and consistent via a proxy
object: “ChannelUpdate” which encapsulates an update transaction. Only
one update transaction may be outstanding at any time.
* Update transactions are initiated via AddHTLC or SettleHTLC.
* Once a transaction has been begun, in order to complete the update
the transaction must first be presented with a signature from the
counter-party for our new version of the commitment tx
(VerifyNewCommitmentSigs), and finally to atomically commit the
transaction, the counterparty’s pre-image to their previous revocation
hash must be validate (Commit).
* Workflow along with expected call orders have been documented.
* With this, the initial iteration of ChannelReservation is mostly
complete.
* However, there are still some unfinished steps internally within the
wallet related to processing. Such as factoring proper tx fees,
splitting fees, some node interaction etc.
* moved sorting of transaction outside of createCommitTx also us to add
HTLC’s before sorting
* On the fence about the proxy object design, will re-visit once we
start to implement the p2p code.
