Hcd Chain Processing Overview

Before a block is allowed into the block chain, it must go through an intensive series of validation rules. The following list serves as a general outline of those rules to provide some intuition into what is going on under the hood, but is by no means exhaustive:

  • Reject duplicate blocks
  • Perform a series of sanity checks on the block and its transactions such as verifying proof of work, timestamps, number and character of transactions, transaction amounts, script complexity, and merkle root calculations
  • Compare the block against predetermined checkpoints for expected timestamps and difficulty based on elapsed time since the checkpoint
  • Save the most recent orphan blocks for a limited time in case their parent blocks become available
  • Stop processing if the block is an orphan as the rest of the processing depends on the block's position within the block chain
  • Perform a series of more thorough checks that depend on the block's position within the block chain such as verifying block difficulties adhere to difficulty retarget rules, timestamps are after the median of the last several blocks, all transactions are finalized, checkpoint blocks match, and block versions are in line with the previous blocks
  • Determine how the block fits into the chain and perform different actions accordingly in order to ensure any side chains which have higher difficulty than the main chain become the new main chain
  • When a block is being connected to the main chain (either through reorganization of a side chain to the main chain or just extending the main chain), perform further checks on the block's transactions such as verifying transaction duplicates, script complexity for the combination of connected scripts, coinbase maturity, double spends, and connected transaction values
  • Run the transaction scripts to verify the spender is allowed to spend the coins
  • Insert the block into the block database

Examples

  • ProcessBlock Example
    Demonstrates how to create a new chain instance and use ProcessBlock to attempt to attempt add a block to the chain. This example intentionally attempts to insert a duplicate genesis block to illustrate how an invalid block is handled.

  • CompactToBig Example
    Demonstrates how to convert the compact "bits" in a block header which represent the target difficulty to a big integer and display it using the typical hex notation.

  • BigToCompact Example
    Demonstrates how to convert how to convert a target difficulty into the compact "bits" in a block header which represent that target difficulty.

Documentation

Overview

Package blockchain implements HC block handling and chain selection rules.

The HC block handling and chain selection rules are an integral, and quite likely the most important, part of HC. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, these rules are also largely undocumented and had to be ascertained from the bitcoind source code. At its core, HC is a distributed consensus of which blocks are valid and which ones will comprise the main block chain (public ledger) that ultimately determines accepted transactions, so it is extremely important that fully validating nodes agree on all rules.

At a high level, this package provides support for inserting new blocks into the block chain according to the aforementioned rules. It includes functionality such as rejecting duplicate blocks, ensuring blocks and transactions follow all rules, orphan handling, and best chain selection along with reorganization.

Since this package does not deal with other HC specifics such as network communication or wallets, it provides a notification system which gives the caller a high level of flexibility in how they want to react to certain events such as orphan blocks which need their parents requested and newly connected main chain blocks which might result in wallet updates.

Errors

Errors returned by this package are either the raw errors provided by underlying calls or of type blockchain.RuleError. This allows the caller to differentiate between unexpected errors, such as database errors, versus errors due to rule violations through type assertions. In addition, callers can programmatically determine the specific rule violation by examining the ErrorCode field of the type asserted blockchain.RuleError.

Functions

func BigToCompact 

func BigToCompact(n *big.Int) uint32

BigToCompact converts a whole number N to a compact representation using an unsigned 32-bit number. The compact representation only provides 23 bits of precision, so values larger than (2^23 - 1) only encode the most significant digits of the number. See CompactToBig for details.

Example

This example demonstrates how to convert a target difficulty into the compact "bits" in a block header which represent that target difficulty . 

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math/big"

	"github.com/nbit99/hcd/blockchain"

	_ "github.com/nbit99/hcd/database/ffldb"
)

func main() {
	// Convert the target difficulty from block 300000 in the main block
	// chain to compact form.
	t := "0000000000000000896c00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
	targetDifficulty, success := new(big.Int).SetString(t, 16)
	if !success {
		fmt.Println("invalid target difficulty")
		return
	}
	bits := blockchain.BigToCompact(targetDifficulty)

	fmt.Println(bits)

}

Output:

419465580

func BlockOneCoinbasePaysTokens 

func BlockOneCoinbasePaysTokens(tx *hcutil.Tx,
	params *chaincfg.Params) error

BlockOneCoinbasePaysTokens checks to see if the first block coinbase pays out to the network initial token ledger.

func BuildMerkleTreeStore 

func BuildMerkleTreeStore(transactions []*hcutil.Tx) []*chainhash.Hash

BuildMerkleTreeStore creates a merkle tree from a slice of transactions, stores it using a linear array, and returns a slice of the backing array. A linear array was chosen as opposed to an actual tree structure since it uses about half as much memory. The following describes a merkle tree and how it is stored in a linear array.

A merkle tree is a tree in which every non-leaf node is the hash of its children nodes. A diagram depicting how this works for hcd transactions where h(x) is a blake256 hash follows: 

         root = h1234 = h(h12 + h34)
        /                           \
  h12 = h(h1 + h2)            h34 = h(h3 + h4)
   /            \              /            \
h1 = h(tx1)  h2 = h(tx2)    h3 = h(tx3)  h4 = h(tx4)

The above stored as a linear array is as follows: 

[h1 h2 h3 h4 h12 h34 root]

As the above shows, the merkle root is always the last element in the array.

The number of inputs is not always a power of two which results in a balanced tree structure as above. In that case, parent nodes with no children are also zero and parent nodes with only a single left node are calculated by concatenating the left node with itself before hashing. Since this function uses nodes that are pointers to the hashes, empty nodes will be nil.

func CalcBlockTaxSubsidy 

func CalcBlockTaxSubsidy(subsidyCache *SubsidyCache, height int64, voters uint16,
	params *chaincfg.Params) int64

CalcBlockTaxSubsidy calculates the subsidy for the organization address in the coinbase.

Safe for concurrent access.

func CalcBlockWorkSubsidy 

func CalcBlockWorkSubsidy(subsidyCache *SubsidyCache, height int64,
	voters uint16, params *chaincfg.Params) int64

CalcBlockWorkSubsidy calculates the proof of work subsidy for a block as a proportion of the total subsidy.

func CalcStakeVoteSubsidy 

func CalcStakeVoteSubsidy(subsidyCache *SubsidyCache, height int64,
	params *chaincfg.Params) int64

CalcStakeVoteSubsidy calculates the subsidy for a stake vote based on the height of its input SStx.

Safe for concurrent access.

func CalcWork 

func CalcWork(bits uint32) *big.Int

CalcWork calculates a work value from difficulty bits. Hcd increases the difficulty for generating a block by decreasing the value which the generated hash must be less than. This difficulty target is stored in each block header using a compact representation as described in the documentation for CompactToBig. The main chain is selected by choosing the chain that has the most proof of work (highest difficulty). Since a lower target difficulty value equates to higher actual difficulty, the work value which will be accumulated must be the inverse of the difficulty. Also, in order to avoid potential division by zero and really small floating point numbers, the result adds 1 to the denominator and multiplies the numerator by 2^256.

func CalculateAddedSubsidy 

func CalculateAddedSubsidy(block, parent *hcutil.Block) int64

CalculateAddedSubsidy calculates the amount of subsidy added by a block and its parent. The blocks passed to this function MUST be valid blocks that have already been confirmed to abide by the consensus rules of the network, or the function might panic.

func CheckBlockSanity 

func CheckBlockSanity(block *hcutil.Block, timeSource MedianTimeSource, chainParams *chaincfg.Params) error

CheckBlockSanity performs some preliminary checks on a block to ensure it is sane before continuing with block processing. These checks are context free.

func CheckExtraData 

func CheckExtraData(extraData uint32) bool

func CheckExtraDataBuf 

func CheckExtraDataBuf(ExtraDataBuf []byte) bool

func CheckProofOfStake 

func CheckProofOfStake(block *hcutil.Block, posLimit int64) error

CheckProofOfStake exports the above func.

func CheckProofOfWork 

func CheckProofOfWork(block *hcutil.Block, powLimit *big.Int) error

CheckProofOfWork ensures the block header bits which indicate the target difficulty is in min/max range and that the block hash is less than the target difficulty as claimed.

func CheckTransactionInputs 

func CheckTransactionInputs(subsidyCache *SubsidyCache, tx *hcutil.Tx, txHeight int64, utxoView *UtxoViewpoint, checkFraudProof bool, chainParams *chaincfg.Params) (int64, error)

CheckTransactionInputs performs a series of checks on the inputs to a transaction to ensure they are valid. An example of some of the checks include verifying all inputs exist, ensuring the coinbase seasoning requirements are met, detecting double spends, validating all values and fees are in the legal range and the total output amount doesn't exceed the input amount, and verifying the signatures to prove the spender was the owner of the and therefore allowed to spend them. As it checks the inputs, it also calculates the total fees for the transaction and returns that value.

NOTE: The transaction MUST have already been sanity checked with the CheckTransactionSanity function prior to calling this function.

func CheckTransactionSanity 

func CheckTransactionSanity(tx *wire.MsgTx, params *chaincfg.Params) error

CheckTransactionSanity performs some preliminary checks on a transaction to ensure it is sane. These checks are context free.

func CheckWorklessBlockSanity 

func CheckWorklessBlockSanity(block *hcutil.Block, timeSource MedianTimeSource, chainParams *chaincfg.Params) error

CheckWorklessBlockSanity performs some preliminary checks on a block to ensure it is sane before continuing with block processing. These checks are context free.

func CoinbasePaysTax 

func CoinbasePaysTax(subsidyCache *SubsidyCache, tx *hcutil.Tx, height uint32,
	voters uint16, params *chaincfg.Params) error

CoinbasePaysTax checks to see if a given block's coinbase correctly pays tax to the developer organization.

func CompactToBig 

func CompactToBig(compact uint32) *big.Int

CompactToBig converts a compact representation of a whole number N to an unsigned 32-bit number. The representation is similar to IEEE754 floating point numbers.

Like IEEE754 floating point, there are three basic components: the sign, the exponent, and the mantissa. They are broken out as follows:

  • the most significant 8 bits represent the unsigned base 256 exponent

  • bit 23 (the 24th bit) represents the sign bit

  • the least significant 23 bits represent the mantissa

    ------------------------------------------------- | Exponent | Sign | Mantissa | ------------------------------------------------- | 8 bits [31-24] | 1 bit [23] | 23 bits [22-00] | -------------------------------------------------

The formula to calculate N is: 

N = (-1^sign) * mantissa * 256^(exponent-3)

This compact form is only used in hcd to encode unsigned 256-bit numbers which represent difficulty targets, thus there really is not a need for a sign bit, but it is implemented here to stay consistent with bitcoind.

Example

This example demonstrates how to convert the compact "bits" in a block header which represent the target difficulty to a big integer and display it using the typical hex notation. 

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/nbit99/hcd/blockchain"

	_ "github.com/nbit99/hcd/database/ffldb"
)

func main() {
	// Convert the bits from block 300000 in the main Hcd block chain.
	bits := uint32(419465580)
	targetDifficulty := blockchain.CompactToBig(bits)

	// Display it in hex.
	fmt.Printf("%064x\n", targetDifficulty.Bytes())

}

Output:

0000000000000000896c00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

func ConvertUtxosToMinimalOutputs 

func ConvertUtxosToMinimalOutputs(entry *UtxoEntry) []*stake.MinimalOutput

ConvertUtxosToMinimalOutputs converts the contents of a UTX to a series of minimal outputs. It does this so that these can be passed to stake subpackage functions, where they will be evaluated for correctness.

func CountP2SHSigOps 

func CountP2SHSigOps(tx *hcutil.Tx, isCoinBaseTx bool, isStakeBaseTx bool, utxoView *UtxoViewpoint) (int, error)

CountP2SHSigOps returns the number of signature operations for all input transactions which are of the pay-to-script-hash type. This uses the precise, signature operation counting mechanism from the script engine which requires access to the input transaction scripts.

func CountSigOps 

func CountSigOps(tx *hcutil.Tx, isCoinBaseTx bool, isSSGen bool) int

CountSigOps returns the number of signature operations for all transaction input and output scripts in the provided transaction. This uses the quicker, but imprecise, signature operation counting mechanism from txscript.

func DBFetchBlockByHeight 

func DBFetchBlockByHeight(dbTx database.Tx, height int64) (*hcutil.Block, error)

DBFetchBlockByHeight is the exported version of dbFetchBlockByHeight.

func DBFetchHeaderByHeight 

func DBFetchHeaderByHeight(dbTx database.Tx, height int64) (*wire.BlockHeader,
	error)

DBFetchHeaderByHeight is the exported version of dbFetchHeaderByHeight.

func DBMainChainHasBlock 

func DBMainChainHasBlock(dbTx database.Tx, hash *chainhash.Hash) bool

DBMainChainHasBlock is the exported version of dbMainChainHasBlock.

func DisableLog 

func DisableLog()

DisableLog disables all library log output. Logging output is disabled by default until UseLogger is called.

func DumpBlockChain 

func DumpBlockChain(db database.DB, height int64) (map[int64][]byte, error)

DumpBlockChain dumps the blockchain to a map of height --> serialized bytes. Mainly used for generating tests.

func HashMerkleBranches 

func HashMerkleBranches(left *chainhash.Hash, right *chainhash.Hash) *chainhash.Hash

HashMerkleBranches takes two hashes, treated as the left and right tree nodes, and returns the hash of their concatenation. This is a helper function used to aid in the generation of a merkle tree.

func HashToBig 

func HashToBig(hash *chainhash.Hash) *big.Int

HashToBig converts a chainhash.Hash into a big.Int that can be used to perform math comparisons.

func IsCoinBase 

func IsCoinBase(tx *hcutil.Tx) bool

IsCoinBase determines whether or not a transaction is a coinbase. A coinbase is a special transaction created by miners that has no inputs. This is represented in the block chain by a transaction with a single input that has a previous output transaction index set to the maximum value along with a zero hash.

This function only differs from IsCoinBaseTx in that it works with a higher level util transaction as opposed to a raw wire transaction.

func IsCoinBaseTx 

func IsCoinBaseTx(msgTx *wire.MsgTx) bool

IsCoinBaseTx determines whether or not a transaction is a coinbase. A coinbase is a special transaction created by miners that has no inputs. This is represented in the block chain by a transaction with a single input that has a previous output transaction index set to the maximum value along with a zero hash.

This function only differs from IsCoinBase in that it works with a raw wire transaction as opposed to a higher level util transaction.

func IsFinalizedTransaction 

func IsFinalizedTransaction(tx *hcutil.Tx, blockHeight int64, blockTime time.Time) bool

IsFinalizedTransaction determines whether or not a transaction is finalized.

func IsFinalzedTransaction 

func IsFinalzedTransaction(tx *hcutil.Tx, blockHeight int64, blockTime time.Time) bool

IsFinalizedTransaction determines whether or not a transaction is finalized.

func LockTimeToSequence 

func LockTimeToSequence(isSeconds bool, lockTime uint32) (uint32, error)

LockTimeToSequence converts the passed relative lock time to a sequence number in accordance with DCP0003.

A sequence number is defined as follows:

  • bit 31 is the disable bit

  • the next 8 bits are reserved

  • bit 22 is the relative lock type (unset = block height, set = seconds)

  • the next 6 bites are reserved

  • the least significant 16 bits represent the value

  • value has a granularity of 512 when interpreted as seconds (bit 22 set)

    --------------------------------------------------- | Disable | Reserved | Type | Reserved | Value | --------------------------------------------------- | 1 bit | 8 bits | 1 bit | 6 bits | 16 bits | --------------------------------------------------- | [31] | [30-23] | [22] | [21-16] | [15-0] | ---------------------------------------------------

The above implies that the maximum relative block height that can be encoded is 65535 and the maximum relative number of seconds that can be encoded is 65535*512 = 33,553,920 seconds (~1.06 years). It also means that seconds are truncated to the nearest granularity towards 0 (e.g. 536 seconds will end up round tripping as 512 seconds and 1500 seconds will end up round tripping as 1024 seconds).

An error will be returned for values that are larger than can be represented.

func SequenceLockActive 

func SequenceLockActive(lock *SequenceLock, blockHeight int64, medianTime time.Time) bool

SequenceLockActive determines if all of the inputs to a given transaction have achieved a relative age that surpasses the requirements specified by their respective sequence locks as calculated by CalcSequenceLock. A single sequence lock is sufficient because the calculated lock selects the minimum required time and block height from all of the non-disabled inputs after which the transaction can be included.

func UseLogger 

func UseLogger(logger btclog.Logger)

UseLogger uses a specified Logger to output package logging info.

func ValidateTransactionScripts 

func ValidateTransactionScripts(tx *hcutil.Tx, utxoView *UtxoViewpoint, flags txscript.ScriptFlags, sigCache *txscript.SigCache) error

ValidateTransactionScripts validates the scripts for the passed transaction using multiple goroutines.

Types

type AssertError 

type AssertError string

AssertError identifies an error that indicates an internal code consistency issue and should be treated as a critical and unrecoverable error.

func (AssertError) Error 

func (e AssertError) Error() string

Error returns the assertion error as a huma-readable string and satisfies the error interface.

type BehaviorFlags 

type BehaviorFlags uint32

BehaviorFlags is a bitmask defining tweaks to the normal behavior when performing chain processing and consensus rules checks. 

const (
	// BFFastAdd may be set to indicate that several checks can be avoided
	// for the block since it is already known to fit into the chain due to
	// already proving it correct links into the chain up to a known
	// checkpoint.  This is primarily used for headers-first mode.
	BFFastAdd BehaviorFlags = 1 << iota

	// BFNoPoWCheck may be set to indicate the proof of work check which
	// ensures a block hashes to a value less than the required target will
	// not be performed.
	BFNoPoWCheck

	// BFDryRun may be set to indicate the block should not modify the chain
	// or memory chain index.  This is useful to test that a block is valid
	// without modifying the current state.
	BFDryRun

	// BFNone is a convenience value to specifically indicate no flags.
	BFNone BehaviorFlags = 0
)

type BestState 

type BestState struct {
	Hash         *chainhash.Hash // The hash of the block.
	Height       int64           // The height of the block.
	Bits         uint32          // The difficulty bits of the block.
	BlockSize    uint64          // The size of the block.
	NumTxns      uint64          // The number of txns in the block.
	TotalTxns    uint64          // The total number of txns in the chain.
	MedianTime   time.Time       // Median time as per calcPastMedianTime.
	TotalSubsidy int64           // The total subsidy for the chain.
}

BestState houses information about the current best block and other info related to the state of the main chain as it exists from the point of view of the current best block.

The BestSnapshot method can be used to obtain access to this information in a concurrent safe manner and the data will not be changed out from under the caller when chain state changes occur as the function name implies. However, the returned snapshot must be treated as immutable since it is shared by all callers.

type BlockAcceptedNtfnsData 

type BlockAcceptedNtfnsData struct {
	OnMainChain bool
	Block       *hcutil.Block
}

BlockAcceptedNtfnsData is the structure for data indicating information about a block being accepted.

type BlockChain 

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

func (*BlockChain) CalcSequenceLock 

func (b *BlockChain) CalcSequenceLock(tx *hcutil.Tx, view *UtxoViewpoint) (*SequenceLock, error)

CalcSequenceLock computes the minimum block height and time after which the passed transaction can be included into a block while satisfying the relative lock times of all of its input sequence numbers. The passed view is used to obtain the past median time and block heights of the blocks in which the referenced outputs of the inputs to the transaction were included. The generated sequence lock can be used in conjunction with a block height and median time to determine if all inputs to the transaction have reached the required maturity allowing it to be included in a block.

NOTE: This will calculate the sequence locks regardless of the state of the agenda which conditionally activates it. This is acceptable for standard transactions, however, callers which are intending to perform any type of consensus checking must check the status of the agenda first.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) CalcStakeVersionByHash

func (b *BlockChain) CheckBlockStakeSanity(stakeValidationHeight int64, node *blockNode, block *hcutil.Block, parent *hcutil.Block, chainParams *chaincfg.Params) error

CheckBlockStakeSanity performs a series of checks on a block to ensure that the information from the block's header about stake is sane. For instance, the number of SSGen tx must be equal to voters. TODO: We can consider breaking this into two functions and making some of these checks go through in processBlock, however if a block has demonstrable PoW it seems unlikely that it will have stake errors (because the miner is then just wasting hash power).

func (*BlockChain) CheckConnectBlock 

func (b *BlockChain) CheckConnectBlock(block *hcutil.Block) error

CheckConnectBlock performs several checks to confirm connecting the passed block to the main chain does not violate any rules. An example of some of the checks performed are ensuring connecting the block would not cause any duplicate transaction hashes for old transactions that aren't already fully spent, double spends, exceeding the maximum allowed signature operations per block, invalid values in relation to the expected block subsidy, or fail transaction script validation.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) DisableVerify 

func (b *BlockChain) DisableVerify(disable bool)

DisableVerify provides a mechanism to disable transaction script validation which you DO NOT want to do in production as it could allow double spends and other undesirable things. It is provided only for debug purposes since script validation is extremely intensive and when debugging it is sometimes nice to quickly get the chain.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) EstimateNextStakeDifficulty 

func (b *BlockChain) EstimateNextStakeDifficulty(newTickets int64, useMaxTickets bool) (int64, error)

EstimateNextStakeDifficulty estimates the next stake difficulty by pretending the provided number of tickets will be purchased in the remainder of the interval unless the flag to use max tickets is set in which case it will use the max possible number of tickets that can be purchased in the remainder of the interval.

FetchUtxoEntry loads and returns the unspent transaction output entry for the passed hash from the point of view of the end of the main chain.

NOTE: Requesting a hash for which there is no data will NOT return an error. Instead both the entry and the error will be nil. This is done to allow pruning of fully spent transactions. In practice this means the caller must check if the returned entry is nil before invoking methods on it.

This function is safe for concurrent access however the returned entry (if any) is NOT.

func (*BlockChain) FetchUtxoView 

func (b *BlockChain) FetchUtxoView(tx *hcutil.Tx, treeValid bool) (*UtxoViewpoint,
	error)

FetchUtxoView loads utxo details about the input transactions referenced by the passed transaction from the point of view of the end of the main chain. It also attempts to fetch the utxo details for the transaction itself so the returned view can be examined for duplicate unspent transaction outputs.

This function is safe for concurrent access however the returned view is NOT.

func (*BlockChain) ForceHeadReorganization 

func (b *BlockChain) ForceHeadReorganization(formerBest chainhash.Hash, newBest chainhash.Hash) error

ForceHeadReorganization is the exported version of forceHeadReorganization. ForceHeadReorganization forces a reorganization of the block chain to the block hash requested, so long as it matches up with the current organization of the best chain.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) GetStakeVersions 

func (b *BlockChain) GetStakeVersions(hash *chainhash.Hash, count int32) ([]StakeVersions, error)

GetVoteInfo returns

func (*BlockChain) HaveBlock 

func (b *BlockChain) HaveBlock(hash *chainhash.Hash) (bool, error)

HaveBlock returns whether or not the chain instance has the block represented by the passed hash. This includes checking the various places a block can be like part of the main chain, on a side chain, or in the orphan pool.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) HeaderByHeight 

func (b *BlockChain) HeaderByHeight(height int64) (*wire.BlockHeader, error)

HeaderByHeight is the exported version of dbFetchHeaderByHeight that internally creates a database transaction to do the lookup.

func (*BlockChain) HeightRange 

func (b *BlockChain) HeightRange(startHeight, endHeight int64) ([]chainhash.Hash, error)

HeightRange returns a range of block hashes for the given start and end heights. It is inclusive of the start height and exclusive of the end height. The end height will be limited to the current main chain height.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) IsCheckpointCandidate 

func (b *BlockChain) IsCheckpointCandidate(block *hcutil.Block) (bool, error)

IsCheckpointCandidate returns whether or not the passed block is a good checkpoint candidate.

The factors used to determine a good checkpoint are:

  • The block must be in the main chain
  • The block must be at least 'CheckpointConfirmations' blocks prior to the current end of the main chain
  • The timestamps for the blocks before and after the checkpoint must have timestamps which are also before and after the checkpoint, respectively (due to the median time allowance this is not always the case)
  • The block must not contain any strange transaction such as those with nonstandard scripts

The intent is that candidates are reviewed by a developer to make the final decision and then manually added to the list of checkpoints for a network.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) IsCurrent 

func (b *BlockChain) IsCurrent() bool

IsCurrent returns whether or not the chain believes it is current. Several factors are used to guess, but the key factors that allow the chain to believe it is current are:

  • Latest block height is after the latest checkpoint (if enabled)
  • Latest block has a timestamp newer than 24 hours ago

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) IsKnownOrphan 

func (b *BlockChain) IsKnownOrphan(hash *chainhash.Hash) bool

IsKnownOrphan returns whether the passed hash is currently a known orphan. Keep in mind that only a limited number of orphans are held onto for a limited amount of time, so this function must not be used as an absolute way to test if a block is an orphan block. A full block (as opposed to just its hash) must be passed to ProcessBlock for that purpose. However, calling ProcessBlock with an orphan that already exists results in an error, so this function provides a mechanism for a caller to intelligently detect *recent* duplicate orphans and react accordingly.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) LatestBlockLocator 

func (b *BlockChain) LatestBlockLocator() (BlockLocator, error)

LatestBlockLocator returns a block locator for the latest known tip of the main (best) chain.

LotteryDataForBlock returns lottery data for a given block in the block chain, including side chain blocks.

It is safe for concurrent access. TODO An optimization can be added that only calls the read lock if the 

block is not minMemoryStakeNodes blocks before the current best node.
This is because all the data for these nodes can be assumed to be
in memory.

func (*BlockChain) MainChainHasBlock 

func (b *BlockChain) MainChainHasBlock(hash *chainhash.Hash) (bool, error)

MainChainHasBlock returns whether or not the block with the given hash is in the main chain.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) ProcessBlock 

func (b *BlockChain) ProcessBlock(block *hcutil.Block, flags BehaviorFlags) (bool, bool, error)

ProcessBlock is the main workhorse for handling insertion of new blocks into the block chain. It includes functionality such as rejecting duplicate blocks, ensuring blocks follow all rules, orphan handling, and insertion into the block chain along with best chain selection and reorganization.

When no errors occurred during processing, the first return value indicates whether or not the block is on the main chain and the second indicates whether or not the block is an orphan.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

Example

This example demonstrates how to create a new chain instance and use ProcessBlock to attempt to attempt add a block to the chain. As the package overview documentation describes, this includes all of the Hcd consensus rules. This example intentionally attempts to insert a duplicate genesis block to illustrate how an invalid block is handled. 

package main

func main() {
	// Create a new database to store the accepted blocks into.  Typically
	// this would be opening an existing database and would not be deleting

	// a complete working example and does not leave temporary files laying
	// around.
	dbPath := filepath.Join(os.TempDir(), "exampleprocessblock")
	_ = os.RemoveAll(dbPath)
	db, err := database.Create("ffldb", dbPath, chaincfg.MainNetParams.Net)
	if err != nil {

		return
	}
	defer os.RemoveAll(dbPath)
	defer db.Close()

	// Create a new BlockChain instance using the underlying database for
	// the main bitcoin network.  This example does not demonstrate some
	// of the other available configuration options such as specifying a
	// notification callback and signature cache.  Also, the caller would
	// ordinarily keep a reference to the median time source and add time
	// values obtained from other peers on the network so the local time is
	// adjusted to be in agreement with other peers.
	chain, err := blockchain.New(&blockchain.Config{
		DB:          db,
		ChainParams: &chaincfg.MainNetParams,
		TimeSource:  blockchain.NewMedianTime(),
	})
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Failed to create chain instance: %v\n", err)
		return
	}

	// Process a block.  For this example, we are going to intentionally
	// cause an error by trying to process the genesis block which already
	// exists.
	genesisBlock := hcutil.NewBlock(chaincfg.MainNetParams.GenesisBlock)
	isMainChain, isOrphan, err := chain.ProcessBlock(genesisBlock,
		blockchain.BFNone)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Failed to create chain instance: %v\n", err)
		return
	}
	fmt.Printf("Block accepted. Is it on the main chain?: %v", isMainChain)
	fmt.Printf("Block accepted. Is it an orphan?: %v", isOrphan)

	// This output is dependent on the genesis block, and needs to be
	// updated if the mainnet genesis block is updated.
	

Output:

func (*BlockChain) ThresholdState 

func (b *BlockChain) ThresholdState(hash *chainhash.Hash, version uint32, deploymentID string) (ThresholdStateTuple, error)

ThresholdState returns the current rule change threshold state of the given deployment ID for the block AFTER the provided block hash.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) TicketPoolValue 

func (b *BlockChain) TicketPoolValue() (hcutil.Amount, error)

TicketPoolValue returns the current value of all the locked funds in the ticket pool.

This function is safe for concurrent access. All live tickets are at least 256 blocks deep on mainnet, so the UTXO set should generally always have the asked for transactions.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

type BlockLocator 

type BlockLocator []*chainhash.Hash

BlockLocator is used to help locate a specific block. The algorithm for building the block locator is to add the hashes in reverse order until the genesis block is reached. In order to keep the list of locator hashes to a reasonable number of entries, first the most recent previous 10 block hashes are added, then the step is doubled each loop iteration to exponentially decrease the number of hashes as a function of the distance from the block being located.

Calculate the max number of entries that will ultimately be in the block locator. See the description of the algorithm for how these numbers are derived. For example, assume you have a block chain with a side chain as depicted below: 

genesis -> 1 -> 2 -> ... -> 15 -> 16  -> 17  -> 18
                              \-> 16a -> 17a

The block locator for block 17a would be the hashes of blocks: [17a 16a 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 6 2 genesis]

	// The caller is expected to keep a reference to the time source as well
	// and add time samples from other peers on the network so the local
	// time is adjusted to be in agreement with other peers.
	TimeSource MedianTimeSource

	// Notifications defines a callback to which notifications will be sent
	// when various events take place.  See the documentation for
	// Notification and NotificationType for details on the types and
	// contents of notifications.
	//
	// This field can be nil if the caller is not interested in receiving
	// notifications.
	Notifications NotificationCallback

	// SigCache defines a signature cache to use when when validating
	// signatures.  This is typically most useful when individual
	// transactions are already being validated prior to their inclusion in
	// a block such as what is usually done via a transaction memory pool.
	//
	// This field can be nil if the caller is not interested in using a
	// signature cache.
	SigCache *txscript.SigCache

	// IndexManager defines an index manager to use when initializing the
	// chain and connecting and disconnecting blocks.
	//
	// This field can be nil if the caller does not wish to make use of an
	// index manager.
	IndexManager IndexManager
}
