# Looking for things to hack on? #
|
|
|
|
I've marked things as simple if you want something easy to work on!
|
|
|
|
## Cleanups ##
|
|
|
|
* Wean off openssl's -lcrypto
|
|
* (simple) use libsodium for all RNG
|
|
* (simple) use libbase58
|
|
|
|
* Remove our specific libsecp256k1 in secp256k1/ and use the installed one.
|
|
* Implement `sig_valid`, using `secp256k1_ecdsa_signature_normalize`
|
|
* Use `secp256k1_ecdsa_signature_parse_compact`/`_serialize_compact` in `signature_to_proto`
|
|
|
|
## Minor improvements ##
|
|
|
|
* Optimize `bitcoind_poll_transactions` not to list all transactions every time
|
|
* Make `json_get_params` fail if unknown parameters are specified by user.
|
|
* Print backtrace in `log_crash`
|
|
* Support locktime in blocks in `accept_pkt_open`, `accept_pkt_htlc_add`, `commit_tx_depth`
|
|
* Get bitcoind's idea of time for `commit_tx_depth`, not our wall clock.
|
|
* When unpacking a packet, reject any with an unknown odd-numbered field as per BOLT #2.
|
|
* Provide details (string) when a command fails because state() returns CMD_FAIL
|
|
* logging: add `log_struct()` for common structs.
|
|
* `state_single` should only kill the specific peer when it enters an error state.
|
|
* Limit total number of peers in `new_peer`, or at least in `peer_connected_in`.
|
|
* logging: add IO logging for peers.
|
|
* implement on-chain HTLCs correctly (`peer_watch_our_htlc_outputs` etc in peer.c).
|
|
* Add `history` RPC command which shows all prior commit txs.
|
|
* Improve `getpeers` to show status of peers when connecting, DNS lookups etc.
|
|
* Add pings to protocol
|
|
* Timeout a peer if they don't respond in a given time (eg. 2 pings)
|
|
* Add timers to drop peer if we approach timeout for HTLCs and they're still
|
|
uncommitted to closing it (see BOLT #2 "Risks With HTLC Timeouts").
|
|
|
|
## Testing: ##
|
|
|
|
* Add more unit tests in bitcoin/test.
|
|
* Test more scenarios with daemon/test/test.sh
|
|
* Implement compile-time crypto-free mode
|
|
* Implement canned conversation files for fuzz testing (eg AFL).
|
|
* Write canned input/output test cases for various conversations, and
|
|
include them in a form suitable for other implementations to test.
|
|
|
|
## Major improvements: ##
|
|
|
|
* Use dynamic fee calculation for initial commitment fee rate.
|
|
* (MAJOR) Implement fee renegotiation acceptance.
|
|
* (MAJOR) Implement fee renegotiation as fee rate changes.
|
|
|
|
* Don't fail funding if fees insufficient, fall back as per BOLT #2.
|
|
|
|
* (MAJOR) Do proper close, still allowing ongoing HTLCs to resolve.
|
|
|
|
* (MAJOR) Use segregated witness for all transactions.
|
|
* (MAJOR) Implement reconnection.
|
|
* Save preimages in shachain.
|
|
* (MAJOR) Implement persistence.
|
|
* (MAJOR) Implement onion
|
|
* (MAJOR) Implement routing
|
|
* (MAJOR) Implement failure messages
|
|
|
|
## Other ##
|
|
|
|
* Grep for other FIXMEs and fix one :)
