chainntnfs/neutrinonotify/neutrino: remove height shadowing
This commit removes shadowing of the currentHeight
variable when registering for neutrino spend
notifications. Currently, a locally scoped variable
is used when determining if the backend is fully
synced before attempting to call GetUtxo, which
means that the variable won't be updated after
breaking out of the loop. As a result, this could
cause us to scan unnecessarily if the backend is
catching up, e.g. after being offline for some time.

chainntnfs

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.
