This commit factors out the btcd and ltcd options into their own sections
similar to neutrino, and adds a bitcoind section as well. Now, you specify
node options similarly to:
--ltcd.rpchost=...
or
--btcd.rpcuser=...
or
--bitcoind.zmqpath=...
For Bitcoin, you specify an alternate back-end to btcd as follows:
--bitcoin.node=bitcoind
or
--bitcoin.node=neutrino
You can also specify the default option:
--bitcoin.node=btcd
For Litecoin, only `btcd` mode is valid, and corresponds to the `ltcd`
section. For example:
--litecoin.node=btcd
--ltcd.rpchost=...
The new code also attempts to read the correct options and auth info
from bitcoin.conf just as it does from btcd.conf/ltcd.conf.
This commit makes the value returned fomr NumRequiredConfs
and RequiredRemoteDelay used during the funding process scale
linearly with the channel size. This is done to ensure that
in cases there are more at stake in a channel, we have more
time to react to reorgs, or unilateral closes.
If the user explicitly specified values for these two at
startup, we return those instead, without doing the scaling.
Early in the lifetime of the project here were a few files we either
copied entirely, or used as the basis for code within lnd. Before this
PR, this was not recognized by retaining the original copyright. With
this commit, we remedy that by explicitly noting the copyright in the
relevant files.
Fixes#423.
In this commit we ensure the behavior of lnd with the —noencryptwallet
command line option heaves as it did before user initiated wallet
encryption was implemented. We do this by modifying the
waitForWalletPassword method to instead return two pass phrases: one
public and one private. The default wallet public passphrase is then
restarted back to the value which was used stoically in the codebase
before the latest merged PR.
This commit makes use of the UnlockerService within lnd, waiting
for the user to provide a wallet encryption passord over RPC at
startup. When the passoword is received, startup continues as
normal, either using the passowrd to create the wallet for first
time use, or unlocking an existing wallet database.
This can be skipped by setting the --noencryptwallet flag, causing
the wallet database to be encypted using the default passoword.
In this commit we add a new option to lnd, cpuprofile. With this option
we add additional telemetry hooks into and, allowing users to generate
CPU profiling files to measure hot spots within the daemon.
The fundingManager will register with the server to get notified
when the targetted peer comes online, in case of a failed send
of the fundingLocked message. This is necessary because if the
peer is not connected yet (or was disconnected while we were
waiting for the funding tx to confirm), we cannot continue the
the opening process before the peer successfully has received
the fundingLocked.
This commit modifies the way that we create the macaroon database, and
also create the initial macaroons themselves. Rather than creating a
new macaroon DB for each chain, we instead create a single instance for
all chains. Additionally, if the datadir has been modified, and the
macaroon paths haven’t been modified, the macaroons are now scoped to
those paths.
Persists the state of a channel opening process after funding
transaction is confirmed. This tracks the messages sent to
the peer such that the process can be continued in case of a
restart. Also introduces that the receiver side forgets about
channel if funding transaction is not confirmed in 48hrs.
Make the fundingmanager send an updated node announcement
each time it opens a new channel. This is to make sure
our node announcement is propagated in the network, since
peers will ignore our node announcements if we haven't
opened any channels yet.
This commit adds a new command line option that allows clients to
specify a default value to use when responding to a new channel funding
request. In a future change, a pure mapping will be added, with the
command line option having higher precedence.
The btclog package has been changed to defining its own logging
interface (rather than seelog's) and provides a default implementation
for callers to use.
There are two primary advantages to the new logger implementation.
First, all log messages are created before the call returns. Compared
to seelog, this prevents data races when mutable variables are logged.
Second, the new logger does not implement any kind of artifical rate
limiting (what seelog refers to as "adaptive logging"). Log messages
are outputted as soon as possible and the application will appear to
perform much better when watching standard output.
Because log rotation is not a feature of the btclog logging
implementation, it is handled by the main package by importing a file
rotation package that provides an io.Reader interface for creating
output to a rotating file output. The rotator has been configured
with the same defaults that btcd previously used in the seelog config
(10MB file limits with maximum of 3 rolls) but now compresses newly
created roll files. Due to the high compressibility of log text, the
compressed files typically reduce to around 15-30% of the original
10MB file.
This commit overhauls the way that lnd is created with the goal of
ensuring the chain backends are fully synced up before the daemon
itself starts. The rpcServer has been slightly decoupled from the
server itself s.t we can start the rpcServer independently of the
server. This is required as we’ll now wait (unless we’re in simnet
mode) for the chain to fully sync up before we even _start_ any of the
server’s goroutines.
This commit finishes up the implementation of newChainControlFromConfig
in order to properly initiate the members of the chainControl struct
when the new light client mode (neutrino). With this lnd is now able to
switch over to either mode with a simple configuration change.
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 initialization logic within lnd.go to
recognize which chain was selected by the user and to set the
parameters accordingly. With this commit, lnd is now able to switch
between chains within nothing more than a toggle of config paramters!
This commit modifies the fundingManager config to use the a SignMesage
function rather than two distinct functions for singing one half the
channel announcement proofs. This change unifies the signing of
messages under a single abstraction: the MessageSigner interface.
This commit alters the configuration parsing a bit along with the
documentation to expect the RPCHost configuration paramter to also have
the target port specified. If the port isn’t included, then the default
btcd RPC port for that chain is used.
Additionally, within the integration testing framework, when creating
the lnd nodes, we now use the configuration from the btcd harness to
set the proper RPC host.
