Functions

func AddAllInputScripts

func AddAllInputScripts(tx *wire.MsgTx, prevPkScripts [][]byte, secrets SecretsSource) error

AddAllInputScripts modifies transaction a transaction by adding inputs scripts for each input. Previous output scripts being redeemed by each input are passed in prevPkScripts and the slice length must match the number of inputs. Private keys and redeem scripts are looked up using a SecretsSource based on the previous output script.

func RandomizeOutputPosition

func RandomizeOutputPosition(outputs []*wire.TxOut, index int) int

RandomizeOutputPosition randomizes the position of a transaction's output by swapping it with a random output. The new index is returned. This should be done before signing.

Types

type AuthoredTx

type AuthoredTx struct {
	Tx                           *wire.MsgTx
	PrevScripts                  [][]byte
	TotalInput                   dcrutil.Amount
	ChangeIndex                  int // negative if no change
	EstimatedSignedSerializeSize int
}

AuthoredTx holds the state of a newly-created transaction and the change output (if one was added).

func NewUnsignedTransaction

func NewUnsignedTransaction(outputs []*wire.TxOut, relayFeePerKb dcrutil.Amount,
	fetchInputs InputSource, fetchChange ChangeSource, maxTxSize int) (*AuthoredTx, error)

NewUnsignedTransaction creates an unsigned transaction paying to one or more non-change outputs. An appropriate transaction fee is included based on the transaction size.

Transaction inputs are chosen from repeated calls to fetchInputs with increasing targets amounts.

If any remaining output value can be returned to the wallet via a change output without violating mempool dust rules, a P2PKH change output is appended to the transaction outputs. Since the change output may not be necessary, fetchChange is called zero or one times to generate this script. This function must return a P2PKH script or smaller, otherwise fee estimation will be incorrect.

If successful, the transaction, total input value spent, and all previous output scripts are returned. If the input source was unable to provide enough input value to pay for every output any any necessary fees, an InputSourceError is returned.

func (*AuthoredTx) AddAllInputScripts

func (tx *AuthoredTx) AddAllInputScripts(secrets SecretsSource) error

AddAllInputScripts modifies an authored transaction by adding inputs scripts for each input of an authored transaction. Private keys and redeem scripts are looked up using a SecretsSource based on the previous output script.

func (*AuthoredTx) RandomizeChangePosition

func (tx *AuthoredTx) RandomizeChangePosition()

RandomizeChangePosition randomizes the position of an authored transaction's change output. This should be done before signing.

type ChangeSource

type ChangeSource interface {
	Script() (script []byte, version uint16, err error)
	ScriptSize() int
}

ChangeSource provides change output scripts and versions for transaction creation.

type InputDetail

type InputDetail struct {
	Amount            dcrutil.Amount
	Inputs            []*wire.TxIn
	Scripts           [][]byte
	RedeemScriptSizes []int
}

InputDetail provides a detailed summary of transaction inputs referencing spendable outputs. This consists of the total spendable amount, the generated inputs, the redeem scripts and the full redeem script sizes.

type InputSource

type InputSource func(target dcrutil.Amount) (detail *InputDetail, err error)

InputSource provides transaction inputs referencing spendable outputs to construct a transaction outputting some target amount. If the target amount can not be satisified, this can be signaled by returning a total amount less than the target or by returning a more detailed error.

type SecretsSource

type SecretsSource interface {
	sign.KeyDB
	sign.ScriptDB
	ChainParams() *chaincfg.Params
}

SecretsSource provides private keys and redeem scripts necessary for constructing transaction input signatures. Secrets are looked up by the corresponding Address for the previous output script. Addresses for lookup are created using the source's blockchain parameters and means a single SecretsSource can only manage secrets for a single chain.

TODO: Rewrite this interface to look up private keys and redeem scripts for pubkeys, pubkey hashes, script hashes, etc. as separate interface methods. This would remove the ChainParams requirement of the interface and could avoid unnecessary conversions from previous output scripts to Addresses. This can not be done without modifications to the txscript package.
