Any projects which want to use Hush code from now on will need to be licensed as
GPLv3 or we will send the lawyers: https://www.softwarefreedom.org/
Notably, Komodo (KMD) is licensed as GPLv2 and is no longer compatible to receive
code changes, without causing legal issues. MIT projects, such as Zcash, also cannot pull
in changes from the Hush Full Node without permission from The Hush Developers,
which may in some circumstances grant an MIT license on a case-by-case basis.
Sapling keys generated from the seed are not yet persisted, so we don't
want to persist the seed or chain state either, otherwise the wallet
could end up in an inconsistent state.
Some tests are temporarily disabled because commenting out HDSeed
persistence breaks invariants inside CCryptoKeyStore.
Revert this commit during the PR for #3388.
The wallet now only stores Sapling extended spending keys, and thus can
only be used with keys generated from an HDSeed via ZIP 32.
Note that not all Sapling keys in the wallet will correspond to the
wallet's HDSeed, as a standalone Sapling xsk can be imported via
z_importkey. However, it must have been generated from a seed itself,
and thus is more likely to be backed up elsewhere.
libzcash::PaymentAddress has been renamed to libzcash::SproutPaymentAddress,
and a new typedef boost::variant is now libzcash::PaymentAddress. Similarly
for ViewingKey and SpendingKey.
A new class InvalidEncoding is introduced as the default boost::variant
option for each address and key type; it is used during decoding instead
of boost::optional.
All address and key storage functions in the wallet have been modified to
refer specifically to the Sprout types, as they are used very precisely.
In most other cases, the more general type is leveraged as much as possible,
and we convert to the Sprout type when necessary. This will be subsequently
wrapped in, or replaced with, context-specific functions once Sapling
types are implemented.
This patch removes the need for the intermediary Base58 type
CZCPaymentAddress, by providing {Encode,Decode}PaymentAddress
functions that directly operate on the conversion between strings
and libzcash::PaymentAddress.
The new parameter is to satisfy the principle of least astonishment
by providing a sensible default for the maximum number of transparent
inputs to shield. If users do not configure -mempooltxinputlimit
it is possible for them to create transactions with hundreds of
inputs which suffer from mining delay, due to the current state of
the network where some miners have configured -mempooltxinputlimit
as a way to deal with the problem of quadratic hashing.
- Add height parameter to z_importkey to reduce rescan range
- Change semantics of rescan parameter, so users can explicitly force a rescan
for existing keys.
Closes#2032
