* minor cleanup - unused imports
* cleanup build warnings - unused vars
* make structs pub to get rid of the private_in_public lint warning
* missing docs on RangeProof
* add missing docs to store delete function
* cleaned up deprecation warning -
tokio_core -> tokio_io
complete() -> send()
* 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
* 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
Operations on the wallet data file are now fenced by a lock to
avoid potentially messy concurrent modifications by multiple
processes (i.e. the wallet receiver and a send command). The lock
is done using a create-only lock file, which is an atomic
operation.
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.
Once the wallet transaction is fully built, serializing it and
sending the push request to a node. Implemented the push node
API, mocked up for now (until the tx pool is integrated).
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.
