2019-05-16Merge #15870: wallet: Only fail rescan when blocks have actually been prunedMarcoFalke
fa7e311e16 [doc] rpcwallet: Only fail rescan when blocks have been pruned (MarcoFalke) aaaa57c2aa scripted-diff: Bump copyright headers in wallet (MarcoFalke) faf3729242 wallet: Only fail rescan when blocks have actually been pruned (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: This brings the behaviour of the import* calls closer to importmulti. After this change, the difference between importmulti and the other import* calls is * that in importmulti you can "opt-out" of scanning early blocks by setting a later timestamp. * that in importmulti the wallet will successfully import the data, but fail to rescan. Whereas in the other calls, the wallet will abort before importing the data.

2018-07-05RPC: Add new getzmqnotifications method.Daniel Kraft
This adds a new RPC method "getzmqnotifications", which returns information about all active ZMQ notification endpoints. This is useful for software that layers on top of bitcoind, so it can verify that ZeroMQ is enabled and also figure out where it should listen. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/13526.

2018-05-03Merge #12729: Get rid of ambiguous OutputType::NONE valueWladimir J. van der Laan
1e46d8a Get rid of ambiguous OutputType::NONE value (Russell Yanofsky) Pull request description: Based on suggestion by @sipa https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12119#issuecomment-357982763 After #12119, the NONE output type was overloaded to refer to either an output type that couldn't be parsed, or to an automatic change output mode. This change drops the NONE enum and uses a simple bool to indicate parse failure, and a new CHANGE_AUTO enum to refer the change output type. This change is almost a pure refactoring except it makes RPCs reject empty string ("") address types instead of treating them like they were unset. This simplifies the parsing code a little bit and could prevent RPC usage mistakes. It's noted in the release notes. Follows up #12408 by @MarcoFalke Followups for future PRs: - [ ] Add explicit support for specifying "auto" in `ParseOutputType` as suggested by promag and sipa: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12729#issuecomment-374799567 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12729#discussion_r175969481 - [ ] Add wallet `AddressChangeType` method to complement `TransactionChangeType`: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12729#discussion_r175969618.

This is a pointless feature. As it only works when all private keys are in one place, it's useless compared to single key outputs (P2PK, P2PKH, P2WPKH, P2SH-P2WPKH), and worse in terms of space, cost, UTXO size, and ability to test (due to lack of address format for them). Furthermore, they are problematic in that producing a list of all `scriptPubKeys` we accept is not tractable (it involves all combinations of all public keys that are ours). In further wallet changes I'd like to move to a model where all scriptPubKeys that are treated as ours are explicit, rather than defined by whatever keys we have. The current behavior of the wallet is very hard to model in such a design, so I'd like to get rid of it. I think there are two options: * Remove it entirely (do not ever accept bare multisig outputs as ours, unless watched) * Only accept bare multisig outputs in situations where the P2SH version of that output would also be acceptable This PR implements the first option. The second option was explored in #12874. Tree-SHA512: 917ed45b3cac864cee53e27f9a3e900390c576277fbd6751b1250becea04d692b3b426fa09065a3399931013bd579c4f3dbeeb29d51d19ed0c64da75d430ad9a
