uspv - micro-SPV library

The uspv library implements simplified SPV wallet functionality. It connects to full nodes using the standard port 8333 bitcoin protocol, gets headers, uses bloom filters, gets blocks and transactions, and has functions to send and receive coins.

Files

Three files are used by the library:

Key file (currently testkey.hex)

This file contains the secret seed which creates all private keys used by the wallet. It is stored in ascii hexadecimal for easy copying and pasting. If you don't enter a password when prompted, you'll get a warning and the key file will be saved in the clear with no encryption. You shouldn't do that though. When using a password, the key file will be longer and use the scrypt KDF and nacl/secretbox to protect the secret seed.

Header file (currently headers.bin)

This is a file storing all the block headers. Headers are 80 bytes long, so this file's size will always be an even multiple of 80. All blockchain-technology verifications are performed when appending headers to the file. In the case of re-orgs, since it's so quick to get headers, it just truncates a bit and tries again.

Database file (currently utxo.db)

This file more complex. It uses bolt DB to store wallet information needed to send and receive bitcoins. The database file is organized into 4 main "buckets":

  • Utxos ("DuffelBag")

This bucket stores all the utxos. The goal of bitcoin is to get lots of utxos, earning a high score.

  • Stxos ("SpentTxs")

For record keeping, this bucket stores what used to be utxos, but are no longer "u"txos, and are spent outpoints. It references the spending txid.

  • Txns ("Txns")

This bucket stores full serialized transactions which are refenced in the Stxos bucket. These can be used to re-play transactions in the case of re-orgs.

  • State ("MiscState")

This has describes some miscellaneous global state variables of the database, such as what height it has synchronized up to, and how many addresses have been created. (Currently those are the only 2 things stored)

Synchronization overview

Currently uspv only connects to one hard-coded node, as address messages and storage are not yet implemented. It first asks for headers, providing the last known header (writing the genesis header if needed). It loops through asking for headers until it receives an empty header message, which signals that headers are fully synchronized.

After header synchronization is complete, it requests merkle blocks starting at the keyfile birthday. (This is currently hard-coded; add new db key?) Bloom filters are generated for the addresses and utxos known to the wallet. If too many false positives are received, a new filter is generated and sent. (This happens fairly often because the filter exponentially saturates with false positives when using BloomUpdateAll.) Once the merkle blocks have been received up to the header height, the wallet is considered synchronized and it will listen for new inv messages from the remote node. An inv message describing a block will trigger a request for headers, starting the same synchronization process of headers then merkle-blocks.

TODO

There's still quite a bit left, though most of it hopefully won't be too hard.

Problems / still to do:

  • Only connects to one node, and that node is hard-coded.
  • Re-orgs affect only headers, and don't evict confirmed transactions.
  • Double spends are not detected; Double spent txs will stay at height 0.
  • Tx creation and signing is still very rudimentary.
  • There may be wire-protocol irregularities which can get it kicked off.

Hopefully I can get most of that list deleted soon.

(Now sanity checks txs, but can't check sigs... because it's SPV. Right.)

Later functionality to implement:

  • "Desktop Mode" SPV, or "Unfiltered" SPV or some other name

This would be a mode where uspv doesn't use bloom filters and request merkle blocks, but instead grabs everything in the block and discards most of the data. This prevents nodes from learning about your utxo set. To further enhance this, it should connect to multiple nodes and relay txs and inv messages to blend in.

  • Ironman SPV

Never request txs. Only merkleBlocks (or in above mode, blocks). No unconfirmed transactions are presented to the user, which makes a whole lot of sense as with unconfirmed SPV transactions you're relying completely on the honesty of the reporting node.

Functions

func BlockOK 

func BlockOK(blk wire.MsgBlock) bool

BlockRootOK checks for block self-consistency. If the block has no wintess txs, and no coinbase witness commitment, it only checks the tx merkle root. If either a witness commitment or any witnesses are detected, it also checks that as well. Returns false if anything goes wrong, true if everything is fine.

func CheckDoubleSpends 

func CheckDoubleSpends(
	argTx *wire.MsgTx, txs []*wire.MsgTx) ([]*wire.ShaHash, error)

GetDoubleSpends takes a transaction and compares it with all transactions in the db. It returns a slice of all txids in the db which are double spent by the received tx.

func CheckHeader 

func CheckHeader(r io.ReadSeeker, height int32, p *chaincfg.Params) bool

func CheckRange 

func CheckRange(r io.ReadSeeker, first, last int32, p *chaincfg.Params) bool
checkrange verifies a range of headers.  it checks their proof of work,

difficulty adjustments, and that they all link in to each other properly. This is the only blockchain technology in the whole code base. Returns false if anything bad happens. Returns true if the range checks out with no errors.

func EstFee 

func EstFee(otx *wire.MsgTx, spB int64) int64

EstFee gives a fee estimate based on a tx and a sat/Byte target. The TX should have all outputs, including the change address already populated (with potentially 0 amount. Also it should have all inputs populated, but inputs don't need to have sigscripts or witnesses (it'll guess the sizes of sigs/wits that arent' filled in).

func LoadKeyFromFileArg 

func LoadKeyFromFileArg(filename string, pass []byte) (*[32]byte, error)

LoadKeyFromFileArg opens the file and returns the key. If the key is unencrypted it will ignore the password argument.

func LoadKeyFromFileInteractive 

func LoadKeyFromFileInteractive(filename string) (*[32]byte, error)

LoadKeyFromFileInteractive opens the file 'filename' and presents a keyboard prompt for the passphrase to decrypt it. It returns the key if decryption works, or errors out.

func MakeMerkleParent 

func MakeMerkleParent(left *wire.ShaHash, right *wire.ShaHash) *wire.ShaHash

func OutPointsEqual 

func OutPointsEqual(a, b wire.OutPoint) bool

need this because before I was comparing pointers maybe? so they were the same outpoint but stored in 2 places so false negative?

func ReadKeyFileToECPriv 

func ReadKeyFileToECPriv(
	filename string, p *chaincfg.Params) (*hdkeychain.ExtendedKey, error)

ReadKeyFileToECPriv returns an extendedkey from a file. If there's no file there, it'll make one. If there's a password needed, it'll prompt for one. One stop function.

func SaveKeyToFileArg 

func SaveKeyToFileArg(filename string, priv32 *[32]byte, pass []byte) error

saves a 32 byte key to a file, encrypting with pass. if pass is nil or zero length, doesn't encrypt and just saves in hex.

func SaveKeyToFileInteractive 

func SaveKeyToFileInteractive(filename string, priv32 *[32]byte) error

saves a 32 byte key to file, prompting for passphrase. if user enters empty passphrase (hits enter twice), will be saved in the clear.

func TxToString 

func TxToString(tx *wire.MsgTx) string

TxToString prints out some info about a transaction. for testing / debugging

Types

type HashAndHeight 

type HashAndHeight struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

HashAndHeight is needed instead of just height in case a fullnode responds abnormally (?) by sending out of order merkleblocks. we cache a merkleroot:height pair in the queue so we don't have to look them up from the disk. Also used when inv messages indicate blocks so we can add the header and parse the txs in one request instead of requesting headers first.

func NewRootAndHeight 

func NewRootAndHeight(b wire.ShaHash, h int32) (hah HashAndHeight)

NewRootAndHeight saves like 2 lines.

type MyAdr

}

type SPVCon 

type SPVCon struct {

	// Enhanced SPV modes for users who have outgrown easy mode SPV
	// but have not yet graduated to full nodes.
	HardMode bool // hard mode doesn't use filters.
	Ironman  bool // ironman only gets blocks, never requests txs.
