- Rename all instances to "shutdownCtx" to be really explicit. This context is special in that it can be closed at any time without warning, so it should be obvious to the reader.
- Don't use shutdownCtx in RPC clients. Clients should not stop working immediately when shutdown is signalled, they need to keep working while the process is shutting down.
No reason for this to be a standalone func with a param when it can be a method of VspDatabase. This will be useful later when VspDatabase contains its own logger.
* Remove global cache variable.
Rather than maintaining cached data in a global variable, instantiate a cache struct and keep it in the `Server` struct.
* Store net params in RPC clients.
This means net params only need to be supplied once at startup, and also removes a global instance of net params in `background.go`.
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.
This renames "Voting wallet status" to "VSP status" and it now includes the status of the local dcrd instance. This change impacts both the /admin page of the UI, and the response of the /admin/status API endpoint.
To allow signing with addresses other than the commitment address, add
an alternate signature address. In order to continue to prove that the
address was chosen by the user, add an alternate signature history. Only
allow one record per ticket to be saved to cap needed db space.
* Use features from Go 1.16 tooling.
- GO111MODULE environment variable now defaults to "on"
- "go build" and "go test" now exit with an error rather than silently modifying go.mod or go.sum files
- Update README.md
* Don't use deprecated ioutil package.
* Be more specific about consensus vote choices.
Rather than referring to just "Vote choices", refer specifically to "consensus vote choices".
This will be useful when treasury and tspend vote choices are added, and the distinction becomes more important.
* dnldd suggestion.
**NOTE: This contains a backwards incompatible database migration, so if you plan to test it, please make a copy of your database first.**
Moves tickets from a single database bucket containing JSON encoded strings, to a bucket for each ticket.
This change is to preemptively deal with scaling issues seen with databases containing tens of thousands of tickets.
This PR introduces a database migration which deletes any raw fee transactions which remain in the database after already having been confirmed on-chain. There is no need to keep these, and they take up a lot of space.
There is also a change in the background handler to ensure that in future, tx hex is always removed from the database when the tx is confirmed.
Plus a few other miscellaneous pieces which will be usedful soon:
- Remove `Get` from func names `GetCookieSecret` and `GetFeeXPub`.
- Add helpers to encode/decode integers/bytes.
Use randomly generated values of the correct length in test Tickets, rather than using hard-coded and unrealistic values. This code was produced to aid with benchmarking DB performance.
Also fixing some minor typos/errors noticed while working in this file.
This check was added to InsertNewTicket pre-emptivly as a sanity check. It is not strictly required because the fee address itself is also checked, and there is no scenario where we would expect a fee address and its index not to match.
Removing this check eases the route forward to improving database performance.
- Use bootstrap to improve layout.
- Add warning banners for webserver debug mode and vspd closed.
Admin page:
- Replace listing of all tickets with form to search by ticket hash
- 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.
