This commit adds the FeeEstimator interface, which can be used for
future fee calculation implementations. Currently, there is only the
StaticFeeEstimator implementation, which returns the same fee rate for
any transaction.
This commit modifies the GetUtxo method of the BlockChainIO interface
to be more light client friendly by introducing a height hint which
gives light clients that don’t have UTXO set commitments a way in which
they can restrict their search space. Light clients will now be able to
have a concrete cut off point in the chain as they scan backwards for
spentness of an output.
This commit introduces the MessageSigner interface which is an abstract
object capable of signing arbitrary messages with a target public key.
This interface will be used within the daemon for: signing channel
authentication proofs, signing node/channel announcements, and also to
possibly sign arbitrary messages in the future.
This commit fixes a bug which would cause the node on the _receiving_
side of a channel force close to be blind of their immediately funds
on-chain. The root of the issue was that within the btcwallet
implementation of the WalletController method ‘NewRawKey’, the wallet
wouldn’t request notifications for the new address, as the direct
function from the waddrmgr was used which skips registration of the new
address.
To fix, this, we now ensure that btcwallet will receive notifications
for keys used within the raw p2wkh commitment output. This ensures that
the wallet is aware of funds that are made available as a result of a
channel force closure by the channel counter party.
This commit makes a large number of minor changes concerning API usage
within the deamon to match the latest version on the upstream btcsuite
libraries.
The major changes are the switch from wire.ShaHash to chainhash.Hash,
and that wire.NewMsgTx() now takes a paramter indicating the version of
the transaction to be created.
This commit expands the data returned by the current GetCurrentHeight
to also return the current best block hash, expanding the method into
GetBestBlock. Additionally, the current best BlockHash is also now
displayed within the GetInfo RPC call.
This commit adds a new method to the WalletController interface:
IsSynced. The role of the function is to query the local wallet about
if it thinks it has fully synced to the tip of the current main chain.
This function can be useful within U.I’s to block off certain
functionality until the wallet is fully synced to the main chain.
This commit extends the SignDescriptor with a single attribute, the
‘PrivateTweak’. The duties of the Signer interface have also been
augmented to properly derive a private key using the specified tweak,
iff it’s non-nil.
As currently defined in order to generate the proper private key based
off of a PrivateTweak, the signer is to add the tweak value to the
private key for the specified public key. This generated value is to be
used for signing within the specified context.
This change paves the way for automatic revoked output sweeping with
signatures generated directly by the Signer interface, maintaining the
structure of the abstraction.
A test has been added at the interface level in order to excerise each
WalletController’s implementation of the key derivation as currently
defined.
This commit consists of a mass variable renaming to call the pkScript being executed for segwit outputs the `witnessScript` instead of `redeemScript`. The latter naming convention is generally considered to be reserved for the context of BIP 16 execution. With segwit to be deployed soon, we should be using the correct terminology uniformly through the codebase.
In addition some minor typos throughout the codebase has been fixed.
This commit adds a new simple interface related to the WalletController
which allows for subscribing to new notifications as transactions
relevant to the wallet are seen on at the network and/or mined. The
TransactionSubscription interface will prove useful for building higher
level UI’s on-top of the daemon which update the presentation layer in
response to received notifications.
This commit introduces the concept of a manually initiated “force”
closer within the channel state machine. A force closure is a closure
initiated by a local subsystem which broadcasts the current commitment
state directly on-chain rather than attempting to cooperatively
negotiate a closure with the remote party.
A force closure returns a ForceCloseSummary which includes all the
details required for claiming all rightfully owned outputs within the
broadcast commitment transaction.
Additionally two new publicly exported channels are introduced, one
which is closed due a locally initiated force closure, and the other
which is closed once we detect that the remote party has executed a
unilateral closure by broadcasting their version of the commitment
transaction.
This commit revamps the previous WalletController interface, edging it
closer to a more complete version.
Additionally, this commit also introduces two new interfaces:
BlockchainIO, and Singer along with a new factor driver struct, the
WalletDriver.
This BlockChainIO abstracts read-only access to the blockchain, while
the Singer interface abstracts the signing of inputs from the base
wallet paving the way to hardware wallets, air-gapped signing, etc.
Finally, in order to provide an easy method for selecting a particular
concrete implementation of a WalletController interface, the concept of
registering “WalletDriver”s has been introduced. A wallet driver is
essentially the encapsulation of a factory function capable of create a
new instance of a Wallet Controller.
This commit refactors the code within lnwallet interacting with the
ChainNotifier to accept, and call against the implementation rather
than a single concrete implementation.
LightningWallet no longer creates it’s own BtcdNotifier implementation
doing construction, now instead accepting a pre-started `ChainNotifier`
interface. All imports have been updated to reflect the new naming
scheme.
This method has been added in order to allow lnd to collect eligible
unspent witness programs outputs from the wallet controller for use as
inputs to the funding transaction.
Additionally, the change address functions now also specify whether the
generated change address should be payable to a witness program or not.
The WalletController will serve as a layer of separation between “base”
Bitcoin wallet logic, and the higher level Lightning Network logic. As
a result LightningWallet will no behave as an overly wallet, relying on
the lower wallet for basic services such as new address, signing etc.
Within this higher level lies the awareness of channel types, chain
monitoring, HTLCs, and so on.
