This is useful when we wish to have a channel frozen for a specific
amount of blocks after its confirmation. This could also be done with an
absolute thaw height, but it does not suit cases where a strict block
delta needs to be enforced, as it's not possible to know for certain
when a channel will be included in the chain. To work around this, we
add a relative interpretation of the field, where if its value is below
500,000, then it's interpreted as a relative height. This approach
allows us to prevent further database modifications to account for a
relative thaw height.
In this commit we add the ability to intercept forwarded htlc packets
straight from the RPC layer. The RPC layer handles a bidrectional stream
that comminucates to the client the intercepted packets and handles its
response by coordinating with the interceptable switch.
This is meant to handle a quirk in which key descriptors obtained
through walletrpc.DeriveKey don't result in the derived key being
persisted to the wallet's database, unlike with DeriveNextKey. Due to
this and some fallback logic in the wallet with regards to empty key
locators, if a request only specified the compressed public key, the
signature returned would be over a different key, namely the one derived
from (family=0, index=0).
Previously it wasn't possible to store a preimage in the invoice
database and signal that a payment should not be settled right away. The
only way to hold a payment was to insert the magic UnknownPreimage value
in the invoice database. This commit introduces a distinct flag to
signal that an invoice is a hold invoice and thereby allows the preimage
to be present in the database already.
Preparation for (key send) hodl invoices for which we already know the
preimage.
Add label parameter to PublishTransaction in WalletController
interface. A labels package is added to store generic labels that are
used for the different types of transactions that are published by lnd.
To keep commit size down, the two endpoints that require a label
parameter be passed down have a todo added, which will be removed in
subsequent commits.
The logger string used to identify the wtclient and wtclientrpc loggers
was the same, leading to being unable to modify the log level of the
wtclient logger as it would be overwritten with the wtclientrpc's one.
To simplify things, we decide to use the existing RPC logger for
wtclientrpc.
Add start and end height parameters to the rpc and cli GetTransactions
endpoints. Default to returning all transactions from genesis to tip,
including unconfirmed transactions to maintain backwards compatibility.
