chainntnfs/tx_notifier: mark rescan as complete for transactions confirmed at tip
In this commit, we mark the rescan status for a transaction as complete
if we happen to detect it has confirmed within a new block that extends
the chain. We do this as otherwise, it's possible for us to not
immediately dispatch the notification upon a subsequent registration due
to the rescan state machine.

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.
