Merge #18826: Expose txinwitness for coinbase in JSON form from RPC
34645c4dd0 Test txinwitness is accessible on coinbase vin (Rod Vagg)
3e4421070a Expose txinwitness for coinbase in JSON form (Rod Vagg)

Pull request description:

  ## Rationale

  The CLI can provide you with everything about transactions and blocks that you need to reconstruct the block structure and raw block itself **except** for the witness commitment nonce which is stored in the `scriptWitness` of the coinbase and is not printed. You could manually parse the raw `"hex"` fields for transactions if you really wanted to, but this seems to defeat the point of having a JSONification of the raw block/transaction data.

  Without the nonce you can't:

  1. calculate and validate the witness commitment yourself, you can generate the witness tx merkle root but you don't have the nonce to combine it with
  2. reconstruct the raw block form because you don't have `scriptWitness` stack associated with the coinbase (although you know how big it will be and can guess the common case of `[0x000...000]`)

  I'm building some archiving tooling for block data and being able to do a validated two-way conversion is very helpful.

  ## What

  This PR simply makes the `txinwitness` field not dependent on whether we are working with the coinbase or not. So you get it for the coinbase as well as the rest.

  ## Examples

  Common case of a `[0x000...000]` nonce: 00000000000000000000140a7289f3aada855dfd23b0bb13bb5502b0ca60cdd7

  ```json
        "vin": [
          {
            "coinbase": "0368890904c1fe8d5e2f706f6f6c696e2e636f6d2ffabe6d6d5565843a681160cf7b08b1b74ac90a719e6d6ab28c16d336b924f0dc2fcabdc6010000000000000051bf2ad74af345dbe642154b2658931612a70d195e007add0100ffffffff",
            "txinwitness": [
              "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
            ],
            "sequence": 4294967295
          }
        ],
  ...
  ```

  Novel nonce value: 000000000000000000008c31945b2012258366cc600a3e9a3ee0598e8f797731

  ```json
        "vin": [
          {
            "coinbase": "031862082cfabe6d6d80c099b5e21f4c186d54eb292e17026932e52b1b807fa1380574c5adc1c843450200000000000000",
            "txinwitness": [
              "5b5032506f6f6c5d5b5032506f6f6c5d5b5032506f6f6c5d5b5032506f6f6c5d"
            ],
            "sequence": 4294967295
          }
        ],
  ...
  ```

  ## Alternatives

  This field could be renamed for the coinbase, `"witnessnonce"` perhaps. It could also be omitted when null/zero (`0x000...000`).

  ## Tests

  This didn't break any tests and I couldn't find an obvious way to include a test for this. If this is desired I'd apreicate some pointers.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information, as well as an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python, that are run automatically on the build server. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.

Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
