Overview

Package txrules provides transaction rules that should be followed by transaction authors for wide mempool acceptance and quick mining.

Constants

const DefaultRelayFeePerKb amt.Amount = 1e3

DefaultRelayFeePerKb is the default minimum relay fee policy for a mempool.

Variables

var (
	ErrAmountNegative   = errors.New("transaction output amount is negative")
	ErrAmountExceedsMax = errors.New("transaction output amount exceeds maximum value")
	ErrOutputIsDust     = errors.New("transaction output is dust")
)

Transaction rule violations

Functions

func CheckOutput

func CheckOutput(output *wire.TxOut, relayFeePerKb amt.Amount) (e error)

CheckOutput performs simple consensus and policy tests on a transaction output.

func FeeForSerializeSize

func FeeForSerializeSize(
	relayFeePerKb amt.Amount, txSerializeSize int,
) amt.Amount

FeeForSerializeSize calculates the required fee for a transaction of some arbitrary size given a mempool's relay fee policy.

func GetDustThreshold

func GetDustThreshold(scriptSize int, relayFeePerKb amt.Amount) amt.Amount

GetDustThreshold is used to define the amount below which output will be determined as dust. Threshold is determined as 3 times the relay fee.

func IsDustAmount

func IsDustAmount(
	amount amt.Amount, scriptSize int, relayFeePerKb amt.Amount,
) bool

IsDustAmount determines whether a transaction output value and script length would cause the output to be considered dust. Transactions with dust outputs are not standard and are rejected by mempools with default policies.

func IsDustOutput

func IsDustOutput(output *wire.TxOut, relayFeePerKb amt.Amount) bool

IsDustOutput determines whether a transaction output is considered dust. Transactions with dust outputs are not standard and are rejected by mempools with default policies.
