2026-08-04wallet encryption: the stack from #130–#133, with the two blockers fixed ↵Bitflash
(#134) * wallet: refuse future encrypted wallet formats * wallet: add encrypted key unlock core * wallet: add encryptwallet rewrite command * wallet: read passphrases from stdin or files * wallet: keep the derivation across encryption, and take the logs with it Two things stopped the encryption stack from being safe to merge. Both were found against a wallet holding real coin, not in the self-tests. 1. Encrypting turned a BIP44 wallet into a legacy one. LoadWallet() ends by resetting the schema and the derivation counters when no seed is in memory. That was written when "no seed after loading" could only mean the wallet had none. An encrypted wallet has a seed -- it just has not been decrypted yet -- so the reset threw away metadata that had been read correctly a moment earlier. Unlocking later restores the seed and nothing restores the rest. Measured on the wallet from the #124 proof: after encrypting, index 1 moved off BAtgSgra2X8Dqo5PJzPCLJhPwrrC2thYVJ, the address actually holding 1.00 BTF, and the audit went from "1.00 covered by the phrase" to "0.00 covered, 1.00 wallet.dat-only". Encrypt your wallet and the program told you your recovery phrase no longer covered your money. Now the condition also accepts a wallet whose seed is present but encrypted. Same wallet, before and after: schema bip44, same four derived addresses, 1.00 BTF still reported as covered. 2. The plaintext keys stayed behind in the Berkeley DB logs. wallet.dat comes out clean -- verified by scanning the raw file for the 118 bytes of a known private key. database/log.0000000002 did not: it held the whole key, and still did after a full node restart, because every record this wallet ever wrote passed through the log. That defeats the feature for the case it exists for, since our own backup advice is to copy the whole directory rather than wallet.dat alone. log_archive() cannot fix it: it only drops logs Berkeley DB considers obsolete and never the one it is writing to, and with one 10 MB log per directory that is precisely where the keys are. They also did not get there at encryption time -- they accumulated over the wallet's whole life -- so nothing done during the rewrite can archive them out. So the encrypt command now closes the environment and deletes the logs on its way out, after the flush that makes every .dat self-contained. This is not secure erasure; the blocks are unlinked, not overwritten. It closes the case of someone reading a copied data directory. Getting there uncovered a third bug, older than both. DBFlush(true) is not safe to call twice. The first call closes the environment, and txn_checkpoint() on a closed environment segfaults instead of returning an error, so the try/catch around it never sees anything. EncryptWallet() already flushes before renaming the wallet, and the command flushes again on the way out -- that pair crashed every single time. Guarded now. The same function has been calling log_archive() with the address of an uninitialised pointer since 0.1.0, on every clean shutdown, in a path whose catch(...) cannot catch a structured fault on Windows. DB_ARCH_REMOVE requires that argument to be NULL. Fixed while here, because the encryption cleanup depends on that call not being a coin flip. --------- Co-authored-by: Gilcimar Duarte <ti@gpm.infra>

2026-08-02Add consensus block size limit (#111, from #110)Bitflash
CheckBlock() validated block size against MAX_SIZE, the serializer's generic 32 MB guard rather than a block rule; MAX_BLOCK_SIZE did not exist in this tree at all, because Bitcoin's 1 MB cap arrived in 0.3.x, after the 0.1.0 this fork came from. A miner could produce a 32 MB block and every node would download, verify and store it. Original work by mtg0001 in #110, rebased over #109 with the self-test conflict resolved, plus a comment explaining why the inherited count-against-bytes test stays. Measured before choosing the number: 5709 blocks read from blk0001.dat give a largest block of 34,290 bytes and a median of 216, so 1 MB leaves 29x of headroom and rejects nothing that exists. A node built from this branch then synced genesis to 5706 on the live network with zero size-limit rejections and zero CheckBlock errors -- the same test that caught BIP30 rejecting a real block at height 859.
2026-08-02Keep HD change recoverable and bound message stalls (#109)mtg0001
Change from an HD wallet now goes to a newly derived phrase-backed key instead of reusing a spent input's key. Reusing an input key silently moved value back to a key the phrase cannot reproduce; if derivation fails the transaction is refused rather than creating unrecoverable change. Legacy wallets with no seed keep the 0.1.0 behaviour. Restore also scans past the pre-generated key-pool window before treating an empty batch as the end. The message parser no longer consumes a header it cannot complete: it reads from a copy, so the O(n) reinsert and the 100 ms sleep inside the shared message thread are gone, and a peer that sits on an incomplete payload is disconnected after two minutes. The wire cap drops from 256 MB to MAX_SIZE. New net-message self-test covers complete, incomplete, stale and oversized headers. Verified here: clean rebuild, all self-tests pass, lock order checked (no path takes cs_keyPool before cs_mapWallet), and a node built from this branch synced from genesis to the chain tip on the live network with zero rejections.
2026-08-01wallet: reserve index 0 before deriving it, and name the address the phrase ↵Bitflash
does not cover (#104) Follow-up to #102. Reserves derivation index 0 before deriving it, so a failure between installing the seed and writing the default key cannot leave the pool free to hand that index out as an ordinary key. Renames the address that stops being the default to 'Your Address (created before the recovery phrase)', which was otherwise left under the same name as the new one. Also documents why the key-pool clear precedes the seed write, correcting a review comment of mine that asked for the reverse.
2026-08-01Keep new phrase addresses recoverable (#102)mtg0001
-newphrase installed a seed but left the wallet's visible address as the pre-seed random key and the old random pool intact, so the next address handed out -- a mining payout included -- could be one the twelve words cannot reproduce, while the window said a recovery phrase existed. Installing a phrase now clears the stale pool records (private keys stay in wallet.dat), reserves a derived default receiving key, tolerates already-stored derived keys so repeated installs do not stall the pool, and -restorephrase reports what it recovered rather than the wallet's total transaction count. Self-test covers installing a phrase over a pre-existing random pool.
2026-08-01wallet: create and restore a recovery phrase (#96)Bitflash
Adds -newphrase, -restorephrase, -restoredepth, -newaddress and -showderived, plus the window buttons that reach the same code. Restore derives forward in batches of 100 and rescans after each, stopping when a whole batch turns up nothing; the phrase is shown on the terminal only, never in debug.log. Proved end to end on a live wallet: paid a derived address, deleted wallet.dat, restored from the twelve words and recovered the coin. Coins on the pre-seed default address do not come back, and the command says so.
2026-08-01wallet: derive the key pool from a seed, so a phrase could bring it back (#93)Bitflash
Adds BIP32 derivation behind the wallet key pool, with no user-facing way to create a seed yet. wallet.dat gains hdmaster/hdchaincode/hdnext; the mnemonic is never stored. TopUpKeyPool derives m/n' when a seed exists and falls back to a random key, with a log line, if derivation fails. New -selftest=wallet-hd, wired into make tests on both platforms.
2026-08-01diag: make the self-test report where the person running it can see (#92)Bitflash
On Windows the self-test from #91 printed nothing. printf in this tree is OutputDebugStringF, which writes to the data directory debug.log, and the Windows binary is linked -mwindows with no console. A failure was still caught, since a non-zero return stops make, but it arrived with no way to tell which check failed. And because the first line printed before strSetDataDir pointed at the temporary directory, every line was appended to the real debug.log -- the file users are asked to paste into issues. The file now gets the real printf, the data directory is set before anything prints, and on Windows a console is borrowed only when stdout has nowhere to go. That last condition matters: the first version reopened stdout unconditionally and took the output away from `make tests > log`, which is the case that counts.
