This mode is incompatible with -txindex and -rescan. + +External wallet files +--------------------- + +The `-wallet=<path>` option now accepts full paths instead of requiring wallets +to be located in the -walletdir directory. + +Newly created wallet format +--------------------------- + +If `-wallet=<path>` is specified with a path that does not exist, it will now +create a wallet directory at the specified location (containing a wallet.dat +data file, a db.log file, and database/log.?????????? files) instead of just +creating a data file at the path and storing log files in the parent +directory. This should make backing up wallets more straightforward than +before because the specified wallet path can just be directly archived without +having to look in the parent directory for transaction log files. + +For backwards compatibility, wallet paths that are names of existing data files +in the `-walletdir` directory will continue to be accepted and interpreted the +same as before. + +Dynamic loading and creation of wallets +--------------------------------------- + +Previously, wallets could only be loaded or created at startup, by specifying `-wallet` parameters on the command line or in the bitcoin.conf file. It is now possible to load, create and unload wallets dynamically at runtime: + +- Existing wallets can be loaded by calling the `loadwallet` RPC. The wallet can be specified as file/directory basename (which must be located in the `walletdir` directory), or as an absolute path to a file/directory. +- New wallets can be created (and loaded) by calling the `createwallet` RPC. The provided name must not match a wallet file in the `walletdir` directory or the name of a wallet that is currently loaded. +- Loaded wallets can be unloaded by calling the `unloadwallet` RPC. + +This feature is currently only available through the RPC interface. + +Coin selection +-------------- + +### Partial spend avoidance + +When an address is paid multiple times the coins from those separate payments can be spent separately which hurts privacy due to linking otherwise separate addresses. A new `-avoidpartialspends` flag has been added (default=false). If enabled, the wallet will always spend existing UTXO to the same address together even if it results in higher fees. If someone were to send coins to an address after it was used, those coins will still be included in future coin selections. + +Configuration sections for testnet and regtest +---------------------------------------------- + +It is now possible for a single configuration file to set different +options for different networks. This is done by using sections or by +prefixing the option with the network, such as: + + main.uacomment=bitcoin + test.uacomment=bitcoin-testnet + regtest.uacomment=regtest + [main] + mempoolsize=300 + [test] + mempoolsize=100 + [regtest] + mempoolsize=20 + +If the following options are not in a section, they will only apply to mainnet: +`addnode=`, `connect=`, `port=`, `bind=`, `rpcport=`, `rpcbind=` and `wallet=`. +The options to choose a network (`regtest=` and `testnet=`) must be specified +outside of sections. + +'label' and 'account' APIs for wallet +------------------------------------- + +A new 'label' API has been introduced for the wallet. This is intended as a +replacement for the deprecated 'account' API. The 'account' can continue to +be used in V0.17 by starting bitcoind with the '-deprecatedrpc=accounts' +argument, and will be fully removed in V0.18. + +The label RPC methods mirror the account functionality, with the following functional differences: + +- Labels can be set on any address, not just receiving addresses. This functionality was previously only available through the GUI. +- Labels can be deleted by reassigning all addresses using the `setlabel` RPC method. +- There isn't support for sending transactions _from_ a label, or for determining which label a transaction was sent from. +- Labels do not have a balance. + +Here are the changes to RPC methods: + +| Deprecated Method | New Method | Notes | +| :---------------------- | :-------------------- | :-----------| +| `getaccount` | `getaddressinfo` | `getaddressinfo` returns a json object with address information instead of just the name of the account as a string. | +| `getaccountaddress` | n/a | There is no replacement for `getaccountaddress` since labels do not have an associated receive address. | +| `getaddressesbyaccount` | `getaddressesbylabel` | `getaddressesbylabel` returns a json object with the addresses as keys, instead of a list of strings. | +| `getreceivedbyaccount` | `getreceivedbylabel` | _no change in behavior_ | +| `listaccounts` | `listlabels` | `listlabels` does not return a balance or accept `minconf` and `watchonly` arguments. | +| `listreceivedbyaccount` | `listreceivedbylabel` | Both methods return new `label` fields, along with `account` fields for backward compatibility. | +| `move` | n/a | _no replacement_ | +| `sendfrom` | n/a | _no replacement_ | +| `setaccount` | `setlabel` | Both methods now: <ul><li>allow assigning labels to any address, instead of raising an error if the address is not receiving address.<li>delete the previous label associated with an address when the final address using that label is reassigned to a different label, instead of making an implicit `getaccountaddress` call to ensure the previous label still has a receiving address. | + +| Changed Method | Notes | +| :--------------------- | :------ | +| `addmultisigaddress` | Renamed `account` named parameter to `label`. Still accepts `account` for backward compatibility if running with '-deprecatedrpc=accounts'. | +| `getnewaddress` | Renamed `account` named parameter to `label`. Still accepts `account` for backward compatibility. if running with '-deprecatedrpc=accounts' | +| `listunspent` | Returns new `label` fields. `account` field will be returned for backward compatibility if running with '-deprecatedrpc=accounts' | +| `sendmany` | The `account` named parameter has been renamed to `dummy`. If provided, the `dummy` parameter must be set to the empty string, unless running with the `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` argument (in which case functionality is unchanged). | +| `listtransactions` | The `account` named parameter has been renamed to `dummy`. If provided, the `dummy` parameter must be set to the string `*`, unless running with the `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` argument (in which case functionality is unchanged). | +| `getbalance` | `account`, `minconf` and `include_watchonly` parameters are deprecated, and can only be used if running with '-deprecatedrpc=accounts' | + +BIP 174 Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions support +----------------------------------------------------- + +[BIP 174 PSBT](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0174.mediawiki) is an interchange format for Bitcoin transactions that are not fully signed +yet, together with relevant metadata to help entities work towards signing it. +It is intended to simplify workflows where multiple parties need to cooperate to +produce a transaction. Examples include hardware wallets, multisig setups, and +[CoinJoin](https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=279249) transactions. + +### Overall workflow + +Overall, the construction of a fully signed Bitcoin transaction goes through the +following steps: + +- A **Creator** proposes a particular transaction to be created. He constructs + a PSBT that contains certain inputs and outputs, but no additional metadata. +- For each input, an **Updater** adds information about the UTXOs being spent by + the transaction to the PSBT. +- A potentially other Updater adds information about the scripts and public keys + involved in each of the inputs (and possibly outputs) of the PSBT. +- **Signers** inspect the transaction and its metadata to decide whether they + agree with the transaction. They can use amount information from the UTXOs + to assess the values and fees involved. If they agree, they produce a + partial signature for the inputs for which they have relevant key(s). +- A **Finalizer** is run for each input to convert the partial signatures and + possibly script information into a final `scriptSig` and/or `scriptWitness`. +- An **Extractor** produces a valid Bitcoin transaction (in network format) + from a PSBT for which all inputs are finalized. + +Generally, each of the above (excluding Creator and Extractor) will simply +add more and more data to a particular PSBT. In a naive workflow, they all have +to operate sequentially, passing the PSBT from one to the next, until the +Extractor can convert it to a real transaction. In order to permit parallel +operation, **Combiners** can be employed which merge metadata from different +PSBTs for the same unsigned transaction. + +The names above in bold are the names of the roles defined in BIP174. They're +useful in understanding the underlying steps, but in practice, software and +hardware implementations will typically implement multiple roles simultaneously. + +### RPCs + +- **`converttopsbt` (Creator)** is a utility RPC that converts an + unsigned raw transaction to PSBT format. It ignores existing signatures. +- **`createpsbt` (Creator)** is a utility RPC that takes a list of inputs and + outputs and converts them to a PSBT with no additional information. It is + equivalent to calling `createrawtransaction` followed by `converttopsbt`. +- **`walletcreatefundedpsbt` (Creator, Updater)** is a wallet RPC that creates a + PSBT with the specified inputs and outputs, adds additional inputs and change + to it to balance it out, and adds relevant metadata. In particular, for inputs + that the wallet knows about (counting towards its normal or watch-only + balance), UTXO information will be added. For outputs and inputs with UTXO + information present, key and script information will be added which the wallet + knows about. It is equivalent to running `createrawtransaction`, followed by + `fundrawtransaction`, and `converttopsbt`. +- **`walletprocesspsbt` (Updater, Signer, Finalizer)** is a wallet RPC that takes as + input a PSBT, adds UTXO, key, and script data to inputs and outputs that miss + it, and optionally signs inputs. Where possible it also finalizes the partial + signatures. +- **`finalizepsbt` (Finalizer, Extractor)** is a utility RPC that finalizes any + partial signatures, and if all inputs are finalized, converts the result to a + fully signed transaction which can be broadcast with `sendrawtransaction`. +- **`combinepsbt` (Combiner)** is a utility RPC that implements a Combiner. It + can be used at any point in the workflow to merge information added to + different versions of the same PSBT. In particular it is useful to combine the + output of multiple Updaters or Signers. +- **`decodepsbt`** is a diagnostic utility RPC which will show all information in + a PSBT in human-readable form, as well as compute its eventual fee if known. + +Upgrading non-HD wallets to HD wallets +-------------------------------------- + +Since Bitcoin Core 0.13.0, creating new BIP 32 Hierarchical Deterministic wallets has been supported by Bitcoin Core but old non-HD wallets could not be upgraded to HD. Now non-HD wallets can be upgraded to HD using the `-upgradewallet` command line option. This upgrade will result in the all keys in the keypool being marked as used and a new keypool generated. **A new backup must be made when this upgrade is performed.** + +Additionally, `-upgradewallet` can be used to upgraded from a non-split HD chain (all keys generated with `m/0'/0'/i'`) to a split HD chain (receiving keys generated with `'m/0'/0'/i'` and change keys generated with `m'/0'/1'/i'`). When this upgrade occurs, all keys already in the keypool will remain in the keypool to be used until all keys from before the upgrade are exhausted. This is to avoid issues with backups and downgrades when some keys may come from the change key keypool. Users can begin using the new split HD chain keypools by using the `newkeypool` RPC to mark all keys in the keypool as used and begin using a new keypool generated from the split HD chain. + +HD Master key rotation +---------------------- + +A new RPC, `sethdseed`, has been introduced which allows users to set a new HD seed or set their own HD seed. This allows for a new HD seed to be used. **A new backup must be made when a new HD seed is set.** + +Low-level RPC changes +--------------------- + +- The new RPC `scantxoutset` can be used to scan the UTXO set for entries + that match certain output descriptors. Refer to the [output descriptors + reference documentation](/doc/descriptors.md) for more details. This call + is similar to `listunspent` but does not use a wallet, meaning that the + wallet can be disabled at compile or run time. This call is experimental, + as such, is subject to changes or removal in future releases. + +- The `createrawtransaction` RPC will now accept an array or dictionary (kept for compatibility) for the `outputs` parameter. This means the order of transaction outputs can be specified by the client. +- The `fundrawtransaction` RPC will reject the previously deprecated `reserveChangeKey` option. +- `sendmany` now shuffles outputs to improve privacy, so any previously expected behavior with regards to output ordering can no longer be relied upon. +- The new RPC `testmempoolaccept` can be used to test acceptance of a transaction to the mempool without adding it. +- JSON transaction decomposition now includes a `weight` field which provides + the transaction's exact weight. This is included in REST /rest/tx/ and + /rest/block/ endpoints when in json mode. This is also included in `getblock` + (with verbosity=2), `listsinceblock`, `listtransactions`, and + `getrawtransaction` RPC commands. +- New `fees` field introduced in `getrawmempool`, `getmempoolancestors`, `getmempooldescendants` and + `getmempoolentry` when verbosity is set to `true` with sub-fields `ancestor`, `base`, `modified` + and `descendant` denominated in BTC. This new field deprecates previous fee fields, such as + `fee`, `modifiedfee`, `ancestorfee` and `descendantfee`. +- The new RPC `getzmqnotifications` returns information about active ZMQ + notifications. +- When bitcoin is not started with any `-wallet=<path>` options, the name of + the default wallet returned by `getwalletinfo` and `listwallets` RPCs is + now the empty string `""` instead of `"wallet.dat"`. If bitcoin is started + with any `-wallet=<path>` options, there is no change in behavior, and the + name of any wallet is just its `<path>` string. +- Passing an empty string (`""`) as the `address_type` parameter to + `getnewaddress`, `getrawchangeaddress`, `addmultisigaddress`, + `fundrawtransaction` RPCs is now an error. Previously, this would fall back + to using the default address type. It is still possible to pass null or leave + the parameter unset to use the default address type. + +- Bare multisig outputs to our keys are no longer automatically treated as + incoming payments. As this feature was only available for multisig outputs for + which you had all private keys in your wallet, there was generally no use for + them compared to single-key schemes. Furthermore, no address format for such + outputs is defined, and wallet software can't easily send to it. These outputs + will no longer show up in `listtransactions`, `listunspent`, or contribute to + your balance, unless they are explicitly watched (using `importaddress` or + `importmulti` with hex script argument). `signrawtransaction*` also still + works for them. + +- The `getwalletinfo` RPC method now returns an `hdseedid` value, which is always the same as the incorrectly-named `hdmasterkeyid` value. `hdmasterkeyid` will be removed in V0.18. +- The `getaddressinfo` RPC method now returns an `hdseedid` value, which is always the same as the incorrectly-named `hdmasterkeyid` value. `hdmasterkeyid` will be removed in V0.18. + +- Parts of the `validateaddress` RPC method have been deprecated and moved to + `getaddressinfo`. Clients must transition to using `getaddressinfo` to access + this information before upgrading to v0.18. The following deprecated fields + have moved to `getaddressinfo` and will only be shown with + `-deprecatedrpc=validateaddress`: `ismine`, `iswatchonly`, `script`, `hex`, + `pubkeys`, `sigsrequired`, `pubkey`, `addresses`, `embedded`, `iscompressed`, + `account`, `timestamp`, `hdkeypath`, `hdmasterkeyid`. +- `signrawtransaction` is deprecated and will be fully removed in v0.18. To use + `signrawtransaction` in v0.17, restart bitcoind with + `-deprecatedrpc=signrawtransaction`. Projects should transition to using + `signrawtransactionwithkey` and `signrawtransactionwithwallet` before + upgrading to v0.18. + +Other API changes +----------------- + +- The `inactivehdmaster` property in the `dumpwallet` output has been corrected to `inactivehdseed` + +### Logging + +- The log timestamp format is now ISO 8601 (e.g. "2018-02-28T12:34:56Z"). + +- When running bitcoind with `-debug` but without `-daemon`, logging to stdout + is now the default behavior. Setting `-printtoconsole=1` no longer implicitly + disables logging to debug.log. Instead, logging to file can be explicitly disabled + by setting `-debuglogfile=0`. + +Transaction index changes +------------------------- + +The transaction index is now built separately from the main node procedure, +meaning the `-txindex` flag can be toggled without a full reindex. If bitcoind +is run with `-txindex` on a node that is already partially or fully synced +without one, the transaction index will be built in the background and become +available once caught up. When switching from running `-txindex` to running +without the flag, the transaction index database will *not* be deleted +automatically, meaning it could be turned back on at a later time without a full +resync. + +Miner block size removed +------------------------ + +The `-blockmaxsize` option for miners to limit their blocks' sizes was +deprecated in V0.15.1, and has now been removed. Miners should use the +`-blockmaxweight` option if they want to limit the weight of their blocks. + +Python Support +-------------- + +Support for Python 2 has been discontinued for all test files and
