Allow YG settings to be saved to joinmarket.cfg.
Before this commit, yield generator settings were
set inside the python script, which is not good.
After this commit, the order of precedence for the
settings for a yield generator is:
* Command line arguments, or
* Settings in [YIELDGENERATOR] in joinmarket.cfg, or
* default config settings in jmclient.configure.py
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).
To facilitate easier management by users and to
follow generally accepted standards, this PR moves
the following all to user home directory, subdir
.joinmarket :
joinmarket.cfg file
wallets/ directory
logs/ directory
cmtdata/ directory
commitmentlist file
User can override location with --datadir option.
An info message is added on startup showing location.
Introduces WalletService object which is in control of
blockchain and wallet access.
The service manages a single transaction monitoring loop,
instead of multiple, and allows updates to the wallet from
external sources to be handled in real time, so that both Qt
and other apps (yg) can respond to deposits or withdrawals
automatically.
The refactoring also controls access to both wallet and
blockchain so that client apps (Taker, Maker) will not need
to be changed for future new versions e.g. client-side filtering.
Also updates and improves Wallet Tab behaviour in Qt (memory
of expansion state).
Additionally, blockchain sync is now --fast by default, with
the former default of detailed sync being renamed --recoversync.
This adds simple unit tests for the core functionality of
YieldGeneratorBasic in the new file jmclient/test/test_yieldgenerator.py.
The tests verify that offer creation, reannouncement of offers when a
change is made to the maxsize and translation of offers to orders works
as it should.
