* introduce grin_keychain, encapsulate derivation of secret_keys
* core compiles against keychain, tests don't run yet
* core tests are now passing against keychain
* wip - getting wallet working with keychain
* add util and keychain to travis test matrix
* basic test around key derivation
* playing around with changing cuckoo sizes on the fly
* modifying tests to use global cuckoo parameters, and checking results
* check for pow size
* Changing global function names, and removing length from POW serialization
* addition of configuration file to grin executable, instructions on how it's picked up are in grin.toml
* Starting to add a configuration file, and change some elements of configuration structures to make them more consistent
Introduce a new Chain struct that maintains the current head,
acts as facade to the store and the block processing pipeline
and handles all appropriate locking.
All higher level components, like the overall server, REST APIs
and miner have been update to only depend on Chain. Cleaned up
some duplication and tests now that there's a single entry point
to all blockchain operations.
* Starting to refactor test, adding http post to wallet sender
* Implemented ability to run servers on different ports (mostly for testing), and implemented ability to post http requests directly to receiving wallets
* Adding detailed instructions on running multiple servers on the same machine
* Changes to build.doc to outline server running process
* Removed unwanted debug statements
* WIP Local server testing framework evolution
* More refactoring of server pool, checked in because there's a problem
* Added server reference structure, and ability to return server references from tests cleanly
* Added simulate_parallel_mining test, which puts some artificial slowdown into test mining loops, and the difficulty can currently be watched in the log
* Removing the ServerRef structure placed in earlier and replaced with a ServerStats structure, that just returns relevant info about the Server state without exposing it to the world
Integrate the new difficulty calculation into the block chain
validation, the miner and tests. As the difficulty calculation
doesn't use varying Cuckoo sizes anymore and we narrowed down
reasonable final Cuckoo Cycle parameters, removed all Cuckoo
Cycle sizes from block headers.
Formalized easier Cuckoo Cycle sizes for testing (and possibly
testnet) by introducing a test mode in configuration. Updated
all tests.
* Beginning to refactor server tests
* Extended test framework to include running wallet servers and miners. Also some changes to the wallet reciever api to include a wallet config and set the data directly for the wallet file explicitly rather than assuming it's always in the working dir.
* Adding wallet config to main executable
* Adding ability to select wallet server while mining
* Configurable wallet receiver url
Fixes a few loose ends in the full cycle of sending coins,
accepting them, pushing that transaction to the pool and having it
mined. More specifically:
* The API output endpoint needs to be a UTXO endpoint, as the
server can't make any guarantee about having a spent output.
* Bubbling up HTTP not found errors.
* Wallet output status checker now handles spent outputs.
* Transaction pool validates the transaction before accepting it.
* Fixed the operation API routes.
* Fixed too greedy wallet coin selection loop.
Parse the partial transaction encoded in JSON, adding a new output
and finalizing. Should push the final tx to a grin node for
broadcast once that's fleshed out. Should also add an endpoint for
the http receiver.
Most of the logic to build a transaction that sends coin to
another party. Still requires more debugging and clean up.
Main changes and additions are:
* Update to serde 1.0
* API endpoint to retrieve an Output
* Output is now Serialize and Deserialize
* Wallet configuration
* Command line for the send operation
* Wallet data checker to update created outputs into confirmed
* Wallet-specific configuration
With the coinbase receiver daemon in place, when starting a Grin
server in mining mode, the miner will now ask the receiver for a
coinbase output. The output is then used to insert in a block when
successfully mined.
Beginning of a first pass at simple wallet functionalities so
Grin can be used to author transactions. We introduce a
receiving server, to be at least able to build coinbase outputs
that can be used by the mining daemon.
Present:
* Coinbase receiving API.
* Command to start the receiving server.
* Beginning of a transaction sending command.
* Improvements to the REST API abstractions to support the above.
Still to do:
* Change to the miner daemon to use the receiving server.
* A command line sender.
* API to receive any transaction (not just coinbase).
* A command line receiver.
Beyond that, HD derivation and seed generation are very simple
so far and almost certainly insecure. Just for testing for now.
