This allows both tspend and treasury policies to be set by clients on a per-ticket basis. Preferences can be set when initially registering a ticket with `/payfee`, and can be later updated using `/setvotechoices`.
Any requests which alter treasury/tspend policy will be stored in the database using the existing accountability system.
**Note:** This does not include consistency checking, it will need to be added later when dcrwallet has an RPC to retrieve policies in batches.
* Add network proportion to homepage and /vspinfo.
Proportion is calculated using the number of tickets currently registered with the VSP, divided by the total size of the network ticket pool as reported by `getblockheader`.
The value will only ever be an estimate because:
- it's possible for a single ticket to be added to multiple VSPs.
- vspd does not distinguish between immature and live tickets, whereas `getblockheader` only reports live tickets.
- `getblockheader` is reporting the size of the ticket pool as of the previous block, not the current block.
* xaur suggestions
* Show missed ticket %, not just the raw number.
- Fee tx status is now tracked using a dedicated field, with values none/received/broadcast/confirmed/error.
- Fee tx hex and hash are now both set in /payfee. The absense of txhash is no longer used to determine if a fee tx has been broadcast or not.
- setvotechoices can no longer be called before a fee is received.
- Remove `binding:required` from response types. It has no effect on responses, it is only needed on request types which are validated by gin.
* Calculate fee from percentage.
- Reverted config to accept a fee percentage, not absolute value.
- The fee amount to be paid is now included in the `getfeeaddress` response. The current best block is used to calculate the fee percentage, and new blocks may be mined before the fee is paid, so the fee expiry period is shortened from 24 hours to 1 hour to mitigate this.
- Rename ticket db field to FeeAmount so it is more representative of the data it holds.
- API fields renamed to "FeePercentage" and "FeeAmount"
- Relay fee is still hard coded.
* Use getbestblockhash
* Delay fee broadcast and adding tickets to wallets.
- Adds a `background` package which implements a dcrd notification handler. On each blockconnected notification, tickets with 6+ confirmations are marked confirmed, relevant fee transactions are broadcast, and any fees with 6+ confirmations have their tickets added to voting wallets.
- VSP fee is now an absolute value measured in DCR rather than a percentage. This simplifies the code and is more appropriate for an MVP. We can re-add percentage based fees later.
- Database code for tickets is now simplified to just "Insert/Update", rather than having functions for updating particular fields.
- Pay fee response no longer includes the fee tx hash, because we dont necessarily broadcast the fee tx straight away.
* Const for required confs
* Rework client/server authentication.
- Remove Signature from all requests, and instead expect a signature in HTTP header "VSP-Client-Signature".
- Remove CommitmentSignatures from the database.
- Use a bool flag to indicate when a ticket is missing from the database rather than an error.
This commit introduces a lot of duplication into each of the authenticated HTTP handlers. This should be removed in future work which moves the authentication to a dedicated middleware.
* Introduce auth and rpc middleware.
This removed the duplication added in the previous commit, and also removes the duplication of RPC client error handling.
