chainntnfs/txnotifier: commit height hint after rescan is complete
In this commit, we'll now commit the current height of the TxNotifier as
the height hint for an outpoint/transaction after a rescan has been
completed and has determined that the outpoint is unspent/transaction is
unconfirmed. We do this to prevent another potentially long rescan if
the daemon is restarted before a new block comes in (which is when the
hints will be updated again).

Build Status MIT licensed GoDoc

The chainntnfs package implements a set of interfaces which allow callers to receive notifications in response to specific on-chain events. The set of notifications available include:

  • Notifications for each new block connected to the current best chain.
  • Notifications once a txid has reached a specified number of confirmations.
  • Notifications once a target outpoint (txid:index) has been spent.

These notifications are used within lnd in order to properly handle the workflows for: channel funding, cooperative channel closures, forced channel closures, channel contract breaches, sweeping time-locked outputs, and finally pruning the channel graph.

This package is intentionally general enough to be applicable outside the specific use cases within lnd outlined above. The current sole concrete implementation of the ChainNotifier interface depends on btcd.
