Adding `importdescriptors` for Descriptor-Based Wallets #199

sandipndev · 2021-09-13T15:48:29Z

This PR adds the following features:

importdescriptors RPC command
Bech32m address support
Updated createwallet to add in descriptors parameter
Updates version of rust-bitcoin to 0.27
The integration_test/run.sh script was updated to support the latest versioning of Bitcoin Core.

I figure this would be very useful for anyone creating descriptor based wallets, especially with Taproot coming in!

…scriptors parameter and added bech32m address type

Running bitcoind (master) and a BDK descriptor-based wallet

wallet.sync gives me Rpc(JsonRpc(Rpc(RpcError { code: -4, message: "This type of wallet does not support this command", data: None })))'

that seems come from /bitcoin/src/wallet/rpc/util.cpp line 109

and have mention in bitcoin 23946
"This occurs when your wallet is a descriptor wallet. It is expected behavior.
For builds of the master branch (and the future 23.0 release), newly created wallets will default to being descriptor wallets."

Running bitcoind v22.0 and a BDK descriptor-based wallet works but will break at v23.0 onward it seems

so maybe this PR after review can make us progress forward ...

importdescriptor was avoided in BDK RPCBlockchain because at that time the descriptor supported by core was a subset of the descriptors supported by BDK.

We should verify if it's not the case anymore with 23.0 and use importdescriptor or otherwise BDK should specify the non-default option during wallet creation (non-descriptor wallet)

Sorry for the BDK off-topic, this PR should be worked on anyway

Concept ACK - the code looks good, but there are conflicts with master. I'll review once is rebased :)

Currently master is at 0.28.0, but I believe we should drop the patch specification as before so users of the library can resolve the latest patch.

So just a rebase is in order and then we can drop the patch version :)

We'll also need to make the following an Option<usize> for descriptor wallet compatibility:

Bitcoin Core 23 now creates descriptor wallets by default. So in order for these tests to pass, this needs to be descriptors: Some(false) for each of these WalletParams.

This should be an Option<usize> as well if we're updating getwalletinfo:

Needs to be Some(false) for Bitcoin Core 23 compatibility.

Last default option should be true.into() to be compatible with Bitcoin Core 23.

I don't mean to seem impatient, but is there any hope of this getting merged? I find it amazing that the Rust Bitcoin community has no need to use descriptor wallets in Bitcoin Core, which have now been available for over 2 years and are required for Taproot.

Are you going the route without BWT now, which also isn't getting much attention currently. Adding Taproot support there wouldn't do much other than just pass descriptors to Core directly (at least that's how I'd do it if this were merged). At least then I don't think Sparrow would need this if you're just going to do descriptor RPC directly. But agree that someone would definitely need to use descriptor wallets with this crate.

Yes, I'm considering giving up with BWT. It doesn't seem like Rust Bitcoin has sufficient community to keep up. I'd prefer a Java library for Sparrow in any case.
