```
In SendTab.broadcast_transaction.broadcast_thread, self.payto_e.payment_identifier was referenced -
but do_clear() has already cleared it by then.
E.g. consider SendTab.pay_onchain_dialog: it calls save_pending_invoice(), which calls do_clear(),
and later (in sign_done), it calls window.broadcast_or_show, which will call SendTab.broadcast_transaction().
As there might be multiple independent transaction dialogs open simultaneously, the single shared state
send_tab.payto_e.payment_identifier approach was problematic -- I think it is conceptually nicer to
pass around the payment_identifiers as needed, as done with this change.
However, this change is not a full proper fix, as it still somewhat relies on
send_tab.payto_e.payment_identifier (e.g. in pay_onchain_dialog). Hence, e.g. when using
the invoice_list context menu "Pay..." item, as payto_e.payment_identifier is not set,
payment_identifier will be None in broadcast_transaction.
but at least we handle PI being None gracefully -- before this change, broadcast_transaction
expected PI to be set, and it was never set to the correct thing (as do_clear() already ran by then):
depending on timing it was either None or a new empty PI. In the former case, producing the above
traceback and hard failing (not only for bip70 stuff!), and in the latter, silently ignoring the logic bug.
regression from https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/8462
- pr.verify() was called in qml, but not in qt gui
- we now call pr.verify() in get_payment_request(), to make the API less error-prone
- it is now ok to call pr.verify() multiple times, the result is cached
- qt chan details dlg: show both local and remote aliases
- lnchannel: more descriptive names, add clarification in doctstrings,
and also save the "local_scid_alias" in the wallet file (to remember if
we sent it)
- lnpeer:
- resend channel_ready msg after reestablish, to upgrade old existing channels
to having local_scid_alias
- forwarding bugfix, to follow BOLT-04:
> - if it returns a `channel_update`:
> - MUST set `short_channel_id` to the `short_channel_id` used by the incoming onion.
A new config API is introduced, and ~all of the codebase is adapted to it.
The old API is kept but mainly only for dynamic usage where its extra flexibility is needed.
Using examples, the old config API looked this:
```
>>> config.get("request_expiry", 86400)
604800
>>> config.set_key("request_expiry", 86400)
>>>
```
The new config API instead:
```
>>> config.WALLET_PAYREQ_EXPIRY_SECONDS
604800
>>> config.WALLET_PAYREQ_EXPIRY_SECONDS = 86400
>>>
```
The old API operated on arbitrary string keys, the new one uses
a static ~enum-like list of variables.
With the new API:
- there is a single centralised list of config variables, as opposed to
these being scattered all over
- no more duplication of default values (in the getters)
- there is now some (minimal for now) type-validation/conversion for
the config values
closes https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/5640
closes https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/5649
Note: there is yet a third API added here, for certain niche/abstract use-cases,
where we need a reference to the config variable itself.
It should only be used when needed:
```
>>> var = config.cv.WALLET_PAYREQ_EXPIRY_SECONDS
>>> var
<ConfigVarWithConfig key='request_expiry'>
>>> var.get()
604800
>>> var.set(3600)
>>> var.get_default_value()
86400
>>> var.is_set()
True
>>> var.is_modifiable()
True
```
- case 1: in version 4.4.1, 4.4.2, the qml GUI wizard allowed creating multisig wallets with an old_mpk as cosigner.
- case 2: in version 4.4.0, 4.4.1, 4.4.2, the qml GUI wizard allowed creating multisig wallets with mixed xpub/Ypub/Zpub.
The corresponding missing input validation was a bug in the wizard, it was unintended behaviour. Validation was added in d2cf21fc2b. Note however that there might be users who created such wallet files.
Re case 1 wallet files: there is no version of Electrum that allows spending from such a wallet. Coins received at addresses are not burned, however it is technically challenging to spend them. (unless the multisig can spend without needing the old_mpk cosigner in the quorum).
Re case 2 wallet files: it is possible to create a corresponding spending wallet for such a multisig, however it is a bit tricky. The script type for the addresses in such a heterogeneous xpub wallet is based on the xpub_type of the first keystore. So e.g. given a wallet file [Yprv1, Zpub2] it will have sh(wsh()) scripts, and the cosigner should create a wallet file [Ypub1, Zprv2] (same order).
Technically case 2 wallet files could be "fixed" automatically by converting the xpub types as part of a wallet_db upgrade. However if the wallet files also contain seeds, those cannot be converted ("standard" vs "segwit" electrum seed).
Case 1 wallet files are not possible to "fix" automatically as the cosigner using the old_mpk is not bip32 based.
It is unclear if there are *any* users out there affected by this. I suspect for case 1 it is very likely there are none (not many people have pre-2.0 electrum seeds which were never supported as part of a multisig who would also now try to create a multisig using them); for case 2 however there might be.
This commit breaks both case 1 and case 2 wallets: these wallet files can no longer be opened in new Electrum, an error message is shown and the crash reporter opens. If any potential users opt to send crash reports, at least we will know they exist and can help them recover.
