Payment channels permit off-ledger checkpoints of XRP payments flowing
in a single direction. A channel sequesters the owner's XRP in its own
ledger entry. The owner can authorize the recipient to claim up to a
give balance by giving the receiver a signed message (off-ledger). The
recipient can use this signed message to claim any unpaid balance while
the channel remains open. The owner can top off the line as needed. If
the channel has not paid out all its funds, the owner must wait out a
delay to close the channel to give the recipient a chance to supply any
claims. The recipient can close the channel at any time. Any transaction
that touches the channel after the expiration time will close the
channel. The total amount paid increases monotonically as newer claims
are issued. When the channel is closed any remaining balance is returned
to the owner. Channels are intended to permit intermittent off-ledger
settlement of ILP trust lines as balances get substantial. For
bidirectional channels, a payment channel can be used in each direction.
Include the ledger sequence number in fee change transactions to ensure
each such transaction has a unique transaction ID.
We tolerate the absence of a ledger sequence in fee change transactions so
that past fee change transactions remain parseable. Since no live amendment
transactions have yet happened, there is no need to tolerate an absent
ledger sequence there.
With this changeset two-level multisigning is removed from the
codebase and replaced with single-level multisigning.
Additionally, SignerLists in the ledger are prepared for the
possibility of multiple SignerLists per account. This was done
by adding a defaulted 32-bit SignerListID to each SignerList.
The SignerListIndex calculation incorporates the SignerListID.
There are three known missing elements:
1. Multisigned transactions should require higher fees than
regular (single-signed) transaction. That's not yet
implemented.
2. It should be possible to disable the master key on an account
if that account is multisign enabled (has a signer list).
That's not yet implemented.
3. Documentation about multisigning needs to be improved.
Multisigning is still compiled out of the code base. To enable
multisigning for a stand-alone rippled, change the
RIPPLE_ENABLE_MULTI_SIGN macro (in BeastConfig.h) to "1" and
rebuild.
This commit also addresses:
o RIPD-912: Remove multisign APIs from STObject, and
o RIPD-944: Replace common_transactor with jtx at call sites.
This commit provides support for 2-level multi-signing of
transactions. The ability is usually compiled out, since other
aspects of multi-signing are not yet complete.
Here are the missing parts:
o Full support for Tickets in transactions.
o Variable fees based on the number of signers,
o Multiple SignerLists with access control flags on accounts,
o Enable / disable operations based on access control flags,
o Enable / disable all of multi-signing based on an amendment,
o Integration tests, and
o Documentation.
Add support for the SignerListSet transaction as a step toward
multi-sign support.
As part of the SignerListSet implementation, add InnerObjectFormat
templates (similar to TxFormats and LedgerFormats) and enforce them
in STObject, STArray, and STParsedJSON.
* Support PreviousTxnID until the switchover
* Implement "No Ripple" for issue_iou and redeem_iou.
* Do not utilize issue_iou and redeem_iou from legacy code
* Rename 0.27.x legacy files to account for VS build process
* Misc. cleanups
The PreviousTxnID field has been deprecated and should not be used for
transactions that use the field will now be rejected.
The AccountTxnID feature should be used instead by enabling transaction
tracking and specifying a transaction ID at submission. More details
are available at: https://ripple.com/build/transactions/#accounttxnid
An alternative to the unity build, the classic build compiles each
translation unit individually. This adds more modules to the classic build:
* Remove unity header app.h
* Add missing includes as needed
* Remove obsolete NodeStore backend code
* Add app/, core/, crypto/, json/, net/, overlay/, peerfinder/ to classic build
* New src/ripple/crypto and src/ripple/protocol directories
* Merged src/ripple/common into src/ripple/basics
* Move resource/api files up a level
* Add headers for "include what you use"
* Normalized include guards
* Renamed to JsonFields.h
* Remove obsolete files
* Remove net.h unity header
* Remove resource.h unity header
* Removed some deprecated unity includes
