This commit changes the underlying functions used in
jmbitcoin from the private and public key primitives
in coincurve and replaces them with equivalent
primitives CKey and CPubKey from python-bitcointx,
this removes the need to install coincurve and its
own bundled libsecp256k1 dynamic library.
Note that an additional pubkey_tweak_mul function
is exposed with ctypes from python-bitcointx's
bundled libsecp256k1 library.
Update no-history-sync code:
This updates the new functionality in jmclient.wallet_utils
in the no-history-sync PR #444 to be compatible
with the python-bitcointx refactoring.
Remove all future/py2 compatibility code remaining:
This is in line with #525 and corrects erroneous
addition of more compatibility code.
Addresses all flake8 complaints (ununsed imports etc)
Addresses review of @dgpv
Addresses review of @kristapsk
Replaces core transaction, address, serialization
and sign functionality for Bitcoin with
python-bitcointx backend.
Removes bech32 and btscript
modules from jmbitcoin. Removes all string,
hex, binary conversion routines. A generic
hex/binary conversion now is added to jmbase.
Removes all transaction serialization and
deserialization routines. Removes the now
irrelevant test modules.
Remaining functions in jmbitcoin remove any parsing of
hex format, requiring callers to use binary only.
One additional test added, testing the remaining
function in secp256k1_transaction.py: the signing
of transactions. Deserialized form is now
bitcointx.CMutableTransaction.
For jmbase, in addition to the above, generic conversions
for utxos to and from strings is added, and a dynamic conversion
for AMP messages to binary-only. Within the code, utxos are
now only in (binarytxid, int) form, except where converted
for communcation.
Tthe largest part of the changes are
the modifications to jmbitcoin calls in jmclient;
as well as different encapsulation with CMutableTransaction,
there is also a removal of some but not all hex parsing;
it remains for rpc calls to Core and for AMP message
parsing. Backwards compatibility must be ensured so some
joinmarket protocol messages still use hex, and it is
also preserved in persistence of PoDLE data.
As part of this, some significant simplification of
certain legacy functions within the wallet has been done.
jmdaemon is entirely unaltered (save for one test which
simulates jmclient code).
Previous to this commit, the jmbitcoin package was accessed via
a file in jmclient `btc.py` which was originally added as an
interface to allow the client to use a non-jmbitcoin package to
provide the implementation; while this idea is useful, the way
it was implemented was not, moreover it is not currently used
and contained duplicated code that was unmanaged. Also, the
original usage of this was only by the electrum plugin, which
has currently been abandoned. This simplifies the code and
avoids spurious error messages. Note that most of the changes
are a result of pulling the logging function directly from the
jmbase package instead of indirectly via this interface (which
was unnecessary and not connected with jmbitcoin).
