jmwallet.wallet.spend

jmwallet.wallet.spend

Reusable direct-send (non-CoinJoin) transaction building, signing, and broadcasting.

This module contains the core spending logic extracted from the CLI so that both the CLI and the jmwalletd HTTP daemon can share it without duplication.

Attributes

DEFAULT_MAX_FEE_RATE_SAT_VB: float = 1000.0 module-attribute

DUST_THRESHOLD = 546 module-attribute

ExcessiveFeeRateError

Bases: ValueError

Raised when a resolved fee rate exceeds the configured safety cap.

Subclasses :class:ValueError so existing except ValueError handlers in the CLI and HTTP layers continue to behave correctly (refuse the transaction with a user-visible error) without needing to know about the new exception type.

Build, sign, and broadcast a direct (non-CoinJoin) transaction.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
wallet WalletService

An initialised and synced :class:WalletService.

required
backend BlockchainBackend

The blockchain backend for fee estimation and broadcasting.

required
mixdepth int

The mixdepth (account) to spend from.

required
amount_sats int

Amount in satoshis to send. 0 means sweep the entire mixdepth.

required
destination str

Destination Bitcoin address (bech32 only).

required
fee_rate float | None

Explicit fee rate in sat/vB. When None, the rate is estimated from the backend using fee_target_blocks.

None
fee_target_blocks int

Number of blocks for fee estimation (ignored when fee_rate is set).

6
tx_fee_factor float

Privacy randomization factor. The final rate is selected between the resolved rate and that rate multiplied by 1 + tx_fee_factor, with the upper end limited by max_fee_rate_sat_vb.

0.0
max_fee_rate_sat_vb float

Safety cap on the fee rate (sat/vB). The resolved rate (manual or from backend estimation) is rejected with :class:ExcessiveFeeRateError when it exceeds this value. Defaults to :data:DEFAULT_MAX_FEE_RATE_SAT_VB; daemon and CLI callers wire this from settings.wallet.max_fee_rate_sat_vb.

estimate_fee(utxos: list[UTXOInfo], destination: str, fee_rate: float, *, has_change: bool) -> tuple[int, int]

Estimate the transaction fee and vsize.

P2WSH inputs (expired fidelity bonds being swept) are larger than P2WPKH inputs (their witness carries the timelock script), so size them as such or the resulting fee rate falls below the requested one (and potentially below the relay floor).

Returns (fee, vsize).
