* chaincfg: remove unresponsive dnsseed on testnet
testnet-seed.bitcoin.schildbach.de is unresponsive and doesn't return
any ips. Bitcoin Core has already removed it and we don't also be
getting rid of it as well.
* chaincfg: add dnsseeds from Sjors Provoost
His seeds work well and we don't have any for signet and it's good to
replace the lost dns seed on testnet.
* chaincfg: remove bad dnsseed (seed.bitcoinstats.com)
seed.bitcoinstats.com doesn't respect filter requests even though it's
advertised as it does. Plus it often returns nodes that are unreachable.
In my testing over the past week, it's been the most unreliable dns seed
and since we have plenty of mainnet seeds, it's better to do away with
this.
I documented my findings for this in a Bitcoin Core issue:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/29911
* chaincfg: add dnsseed from wiz
It's the same infrastructure that mempool . space runs on and has been
reliable. The same seed is also included in Bitcoin Core as well.
DoubleHashRaw provides a simple function for doing double hashes. Since
it uses the digest instead of making the caller allocate a byte slice, it
can be more memory efficient vs other double hash functions.
Recent commits 1d6e578 and 72ea23e introduced a change in the way Hashes
are serialized and deserialized. This change could cause errors in
downstream applications that persisted hashes serialized using the previous
methods.
This introduces support for legacy-serialized hashes unmarshaling and restores
the compatibility with previous versions.
This commit emulates the behavior of Bitcoin Core introduced in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6853 that disables retargeting
of the required proof of work for regtest.
The doc formatting changes introduced in the recent go version is
increasing the diff for all of the new commits. Formatting it all in
this commit will help the readability of future PRs by reducing the
diff.
The existing values were copied over from the testnet deployment, which
uses a much larger miner confirmation window. As a result, the main
taproot deployment would require thousands of blocks to properly
activate in development environments.
In this commit, we add the deployment parameters of taproot as specified
in the deployment section of BIp 341:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0341.mediawiki#deployment.
Take note of the custom activation threshold, as well as the specified
min activation heights for mainnet only.
In this commit, we add a new function to verify the taproot merkle
commitment of a given tapscript leaf. Along the way we add some helper
functions which can be used to construct a taproot output given the raw
script root.
In this commit, we implement the new BIP 341+342 taproot sighash digest
computation. The digest is similar, but re-orders some fragments and
also starts to commit to the input values of all the transactions in the
SIGHASH_ALL case. A new implicit sighash flag, SIGHASH_DEFAULT has been
added that allows signatures to always be 64-bytes for the common case.
The hashcache has been updated as well to store both the v0 and v1 mid
state hashes. The v0 hashes are a double-sha of the contents, while the
v1 hash is a single sha. As a result, if a transaction spends both v0
and v1 inputs, then we 're able to re-use all the intermediate hashes.
As the sighash computation needs the input values and scripts, we create
an abstraction: the PrevOutFetcher to give the caller flexibility w.r.t
how this is done. We also create a `CannedPrevOutputFetcher` that holds
the information in a map for a single input.
A series of function options are also added to allow re-use of the same
base sig hash calculation for both BIP 341 and 342.
In this commit, we optimize our signature implementation slightly, by
defining pre-computed sha256(tag) variables for the commonly used
values. If a tag matches this, then we'll use that hash value to avoid
an extra round of hashing.
In this commit, we add an implementation of the BIP-340 tagged hash
scheme. This initial version can be optimized quite a bit, for example,
we can hard code the output of frequently used `sha256(tag)` values and
save two `sha256` invocations.
In this commit, we add a new "dummy" deployment that adds the new params
used to activate taproot. We chose to add a new deployment as unlike the
bitcoind codebase, we don't currently "bury" soft forks that have
happened in the past (hard code an activation height).
The old taproot deployment has been removed as with the way the array
works, a deployment needs to be defined for _all_ networks.
In this commit, we utilize the recently added ConsensusDeploymentStarter
and ConsensusDeploymentEnder interfaces. Concrete implementations of
this interface based on the median time past comparison are used now in
the ConsensusDeployment struct instead of hard coded start/end times.
Along the way, we had to switch to using the "zero time": time.Time{},
in place of 0 and math.MaxInt64 as comparison (After/Before) seems to be
broken in the Go stdlib for times very far in the future. It appears Go
isn't ready to handle the heat death of the universe.
In this commit, we create a series of new interfaces that'll allow us to
abstract "when" exactly a deployment starts and ends. As is, all
deployments start/end based on a unix timestamp, which is compared
against the MTP of a given block to determine if a new deployment has
started or ended. This works fine for BIP 9 which uses time based
timeouts, but not so much for BIP 8. In order to prep a future refactor
that allows our version bits implementation to support both time and
block based start/end times, this new abstraction has been introduced.
In this commit, we update all the btcutil imports to point to the new
sub-module.
In the same commit, we also modify the recently added `btcutil/go.mod`
file as we need to continue pointing to the _old_ version of btcd, until
we merge this PR and push a new tag.
On signet all previous soft forks and also taproot are always activated,
meaning the version is always 0x20000000 for all blocks. To make sure
they activate properly in `btcd` we therefore need to use the correct
bit to mask the version.
This means that on any custom signet there would need to be 2016 blocks
mined before SegWit or Taproot can be used.
Currently, the only way to register HD version bytes is by initializing
chaincfg.Params struct, and registering it during package init.
RegisterHDKeyID provides a way to populate custom HD version bytes,
without having to create new chaincfg.Params instances. This is useful
for library packages who want to use non-standard version bytes for
serializing extended keys, such as the ones documented in SLIP-0132.
This function is complementary to HDPrivateKeyToPublicKeyID, which is
used to lookup previously registered key IDs.
This commit adds set of BIP0009 (Version Bits) deployment parameters
for all networks detailing the activation parameters for the segwit
soft-fork.
Additionally, the BIP0009 integration test has been updated to test for
the proper transitioning of version bits state for the segwit soft
fork. Finally, the `getblockchaininfo` test has also been updated to
properly display the state of segwit.
The IsBech32SegwitPrefix method takes a string prefix and
determines if it is a valid prefix for a Bech32 encoded segwit
address for any of the default or registered networks.
The github markdown interpreter has been changed such that it no longer
allows spaces in between the brackets and parenthesis of links and now
requires a newline in between anchors and other formatting. This
updates all of the markdown files accordingly.
While here, it also corrects a couple of inconsistencies in some of the
README.md files.
This commit adds BIP-9 deployment parameters for all registered
networks for the CSV soft-fork package.
The mainnet and testnet parameters have been set in accordance to the
finalized BIPs.
For simnet, and the regression net, the activation date is back-dated
in order to allow signaling for the soft-fork at any time. Additionally
the expiration time for simnet and regrets has been set to
math.MaxInt64, meaning they’ll never expire.
Now that all softforking is done via BIP0009 versionbits, replace the
old isMajorityVersion deployment mechanism with hard coded historical
block heights at which they became active.
Since the activation heights vary per network, this adds new parameters
to the chaincfg.Params struct for them and sets the correct heights at
which each softfork became active on each chain.
It should be noted that this is a technically hard fork since the
behavior of alternate chain history is different with these hard-coded
activation heights as opposed to the old isMajorityVersion code. In
particular, an alternate chain history could activate one of the soft
forks earlier than these hard-coded heights which means the old code
would reject blocks which violate the new soft fork rules whereas this
new code would not.
However, all of the soft forks this refers to were activated so far in
the chain history there is there is no way a reorg that long could
happen and checkpoints reject alternate chains before the most recent
checkpoint anyways. Furthermore, the same change was made in Bitcoin
Core so this needs to be changed to be consistent anyways.
This commit adds all of the infrastructure needed to support BIP0009
soft forks.
The following is an overview of the changes:
- Add new configuration options to the chaincfg package which allows the
rule deployments to be defined per chain
- Implement code to calculate the threshold state as required by BIP0009
- Use threshold state caches that are stored to the database in order
to accelerate startup time
- Remove caches that are invalid due to definition changes in the
params including additions, deletions, and changes to existing
entries
- Detect and warn when a new unknown rule is about to activate or has
been activated in the block connection code
- Detect and warn when 50% of the last 100 blocks have unexpected
versions.
- Remove the latest block version from wire since it no longer applies
- Add a version parameter to the wire.NewBlockHeader function since the
default is no longer available
- Update the miner block template generation code to use the calculated
block version based on the currently defined rule deployments and
their threshold states as of the previous block
- Add tests for new error type
- Add tests for threshold state cache
This moves several of the chain constants to the Params struct in the
chaincfg package which is intended for that purpose. This is mostly a
backport of the same modifications made in Decred along with a few
additional things cleaned up.
The following is an overview of the changes:
- Comment all fields in the Params struct definition
- Add locals to BlockChain instance for the calculated values based on
the provided chain params
- Rename the following param fields:
- SubsidyHalvingInterval -> SubsidyReductionInterval
- ResetMinDifficulty -> ReduceMinDifficulty
- Add new Param fields:
- CoinbaseMaturity
- TargetTimePerBlock
- TargetTimespan
- BlocksPerRetarget
- RetargetAdjustmentFactor
- MinDiffReductionTime
This is mostly a backport of some of the same modifications made in
Decred along with a few additional things cleaned up. In particular,
this updates the code to make use of the new chainhash package.
Also, since this required API changes anyways and the hash algorithm is
no longer tied specifically to SHA, all other functions throughout the
code base which had "Sha" in their name have been changed to Hash so
they are not incorrectly implying the hash algorithm.
The following is an overview of the changes:
- Remove the wire.ShaHash type
- Update all references to wire.ShaHash to the new chainhash.Hash type
- Rename the following functions and update all references:
- wire.BlockHeader.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.TxShas -> TxHashes
- wire.MsgTx.TxSha -> TxHash
- blockchain.ShaHashToBig -> HashToBig
- peer.ShaFunc -> peer.HashFunc
- Rename all variables that included sha in their name to include hash
instead
- Update for function name changes in other dependent packages such as
btcutil
- Update copyright dates on all modified files
- Update glide.lock file to use the required version of btcutil
This is a backport of the chainhash package made in Decred along with a
few additional things cleaned up, finished test coverage, and rewording
of some documentation to make it more generic.
In particular, the new package provides the definition of the hash type
and associated hashing functions which will allow the rest of the code to be
agnostic to the specific hash algorithm.
This only implements the package and does not change any of the code
base over to use it.
Putting the test code in the same package makes it easier for forks
since they don't have to change the import paths as much and it also
gets rid of the need for internal_test.go to bridge.
This same thing should probably be done for the majority of the code
base.
This modifies the chaincfg package to register the default network
params via the init function instead of manually hard coding their data
into the maps. This is less error prone when adding new default
networks.
A new function named mustRegister has been introduced that panics if
there are any errors when registering the network that the new code
makes use of and appropriate tests have been added.
