View shielded information in wallet transactions
|
||||||
|
------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In previous `zcashd` versions, to obtain information about shielded transactions
|
||||||
|
you would use either the `z_listreceivedbyaddress` RPC method (which returns all
|
||||||
|
notes received by an address) or `z_listunspent` (which returns unspent notes,
|
||||||
|
optionally filtered by addresses). There were no RPC methods that directly
|
||||||
|
returned details about spends, or anything equivalent to the `gettransaction`
|
||||||
|
method (which returns transparent information about in-wallet transactions).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This release introduces a new RPC method `z_viewtransaction` to fill that gap.
|
||||||
|
Given the ID of a transaction in the wallet, it decrypts the transaction and
|
||||||
|
returns detailed shielded information for all decryptable new and spent notes,
|
||||||
|
including:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The address that each note belongs to.
|
||||||
|
- Values in both decimal ZEC and zatoshis.
|
||||||
|
- The ID of the transaction that each spent note was received in.
|
||||||
|
- An `outgoing` flag on each new note, which will be `true` if the output is not
|
||||||
|
for an address in the wallet.
|
||||||
|
- A `memoStr` field for each new note, containing its text memo (if its memo
|
||||||
|
field contains a valid UTF-8 string).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Information will be shown for any address that appears in `z_listaddresses`;
|
||||||
|
this includes watch-only addresses linked to viewing keys imported with
|
||||||
|
`z_importviewingkey`, as well as addresses with spending keys (both generated
|
||||||
|
with `z_getnewaddress` and imported with `z_importkey`).
