chainntnfs/btcdnotify: fix dropped block epoch notification bug
This commit a bug introduced in the chain notifier while we were
limiting the usage of mutexes within the package. In a prior commit a
default case was introduced in the select statement in order to avoid
the possibility of the main goroutine blocking when dispatching block
epoch notification.

In order to avoid this potentially disastrous bug, we now instead
launch a new goroutine for each client to ensure that all notifications
are reliably dispatched.

chainntnfs

Build Status MIT licensed GoDoc

The chainntnfs package implements a set of interfaces which allow callers to receive notifications in response to specific on-chain events. The set of notifications available include:

  • Notifications for each new block connected to the current best chain.
  • Notifications once a txid has reached a specified number of confirmations.
  • Notifications once a target outpoint (txid:index) has been spent.

These notifications are used within lnd in order to properly handle the workflows for: channel funding, cooperative channel closures, forced channel closures, channel contract breaches, sweeping time-locked outputs, and finally pruning the channel graph.

This package is intentionally general enough to be applicable outside the specific use cases within lnd outlined above. The current sole concrete implementation of the ChainNotifier interface depends on btcd.
