  1. instagibbs commented at 7:07 pm on October 5, 2022: member

    Since the original fix was set to be a “reasonable” transaction to reduce allocations and the true motivation later revealed, it makes sense to relax this check to something more principled.

    There are more exotic transaction patterns that could take advantage of a relaxed requirement, such as 1 input, 1 output OP_RETURN to burn a utxo to fees for CPFP purposes when change isn’t practical.

    Two changes could be accomplished:

    1. Anything not 64 bytes could be allowed

    2. Anything above 64 bytes could be allowed

    In the Great Consensus Cleanup, suggestion (2) was proposed as a consensus change, and is the simpler of the two suggestions. It would not allow an “empty” OP_RETURN but would reduce the required padding from 22 bytes to 5.

    The functional test is also modified to test the actual case we care about: 64 bytes

    ajtowns commented at 1:03 am on October 7, 2022:

    Wouldn’t [RETURN FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE] be a better min op_return script, since that way it passes standardness rules?

    For a spendable (but necessarily non-standard) output, [NOP NOP NOP NOP TRUE] might be more explicit? But I don’t think that case ever makes sense – if it’s a “dust” amount, that you don’t care about, it’s better to send it to fees and use a 0-value OP_RETURN output; if it’s not a dust amount and you do care about it, you’ll want to secure the funds and use something that requires an output to redeem. Saving a few bytes in the bip68 functional test doesn’t seem worth the effort?

    assert len(*_MIN_*_SCRIPT) == MIN_PADDING might be clearer than explaining all the off-by-one things?

    Both are nonstandard (Edit: I guess no longer, now that the new dummy switched to OP_RETURN).

    My goal was to get rid of this dummy completely by using standard scripts and/or MiniWallet, but I never got around to do it for the last remaining use here.

    ACK e5adc1a284a9292362e75501adc9f71ac6ecdf6e

    Checked that the invalid_txs test triggers if the tx is accepted (by changing the tx to be 65 bytes). Also noticed that the mempool_accept tx is greater than 65 vbytes (two flag bytes, a byte for the witness stack size, a byte for the witness length, and a byte for the OP_TRUE in the witness is 5 bytes total, divided by 4 gives 1.25 extra vbytes, for a total of 65.25 vbytes), so this is also testing that additional witness bytes doesn’t actually help.

    Anything not 64 bytes could be allowed

    I believe the minimum possible transaction is 60 bytes: 4B version, 4B locktime, 2B for in and count of 1 each (0 is illegal), 32B+4B for utxo txid and vout, 1B for scriptSig length of 0, 4B for nSequence, 8B for output amount, 1B for output scriptPubKey length of 0, and thus the minimum possible tx that only generates provably unspendable outputs is 61 bytes. Presuming there’s a 64B signature in the witness (66B total to include the count of witness elements and the size of the signature), padding to from 61B to 65B is an increase of ~4% in raw data, and ~5.2% in weight/vbytes, and if you’re trying to pay fees to get some meaningful transaction mined, then adding that other transaction to the denominator makes the increase even smaller. That seems pretty negligible to me, and “60-63 is okay but 64 isn’t” seems like a horrible special case.

    (The smallest transaction you can easily create with bitcoind seems to be 63B since createrawtransaction and createpsbt require non-empty data for the OP_RETURN, which adds a byte for the push data opcode, and a byte for the data being pushed)

    On the mailing list @petertodd pushes back and says checking for inequality to 64 should be preferred. @ajtowns you probably had the strongest reaction against it. Thoughts? Typical usage would clock in at 60 bytes, unless you actually wanted OP_RETURN pushes of a specific size for publication purposes.

    “That seems pretty negligible to me, and “60-63 is okay but 64 isn’t” seems like a horrible special case.”

    I don’t agree. Either way it’s an arbitrary restriction beyond the goal of preventing 64 byte transactions. Since the exploit is public, we might as well tailor the rule to exactly what we’re trying to prevent, and explain that in the docs. Having an arbitrary “no small txs” rule meanwhile is more mysterious.

    As a note, a serious use of this would be to directly toss funds into fees. If the spend isn’t bound to a key, f.e. wsh(OP_TRUE), this opens the door for miner MEV to save a few bytes. If the transactor makes the smallest unspendable output possible(OP_RETURN with no data), this leaves the miner with “just” 1vb on the table, where the miner has incentive to replace it with an empty scriptpubkey, creating 0-value dust. Keeping this delta as small as possible has value, looking forward.

Keeping this delta as small as possible has value, looking forward.

    Seems unlikely that a miner will exactly fill their block up such that 1vb (or 4vb going from 61-byte stripped size to 65-byte stripped size) would make any difference. If you’re sending dust to fees, doing so with a SIGHASH_ANYONECANPAY|SIGHASH_ALL signature against a 0sat OP_RETURN output would allow a miner to combine multiple burn inputs into a single tx (saving 20vb per input after the first, as compared to having each as their own tx), which seems more advantageous.

    Slightly prefer #26398

    Unless there is a compelling safety reason, and the code/tests don’t become more complex, I’ll leave the use-case designing to future developers who have more context/requirements than we do.

    The only additional danger with #26398 is that someone writes support for transactions up to 64 non-witness bytes and doesn’t test at the 64 byte marker, causing their tx to not propagate.

    Any other dangers I’m missing?

    The policy could first relax to >64, then further to !=64 in the future, so the door on #26398 would not be completely closed. It seems that people are open to that possibility.

    Yes leaving it in draft as I’m willing to take it up again if/when there is consensus. Thank you for your patience with my flapping PRs!

    nit: based on the comment I think something like this would be appropriate to add: (import assert_greater_than from util)

    0        # Note it's only non-witness size that matters!
1        assert_greater_than(len(tx.serialize()), 64)

    ACK b2c900e130, with a few nits

    Could you please also:

    • Link the ML post in the OP
    • Add a release note (something similar to the one in #26398)
  64. Relax MIN_STANDARD_TX_NONWITNESS_SIZE to 65 non-witness bytes 
    Since the original fix was set to be a "reasonable" transaction
to reduce allocations and the true motivation later revealed,
it makes sense to relax this check to something more principled.

There are more exotic transaction patterns that could take advantage
of a relaxed requirement, such as 1 input, 1 output OP_RETURN to burn
a utxo to fees for CPFP purposes when change isn't practical.

Two changes could be accomplished:

1) Anything not 64 bytes could be allowed

2) Anything above 64 bytes could be allowed

In the Great Consensus Cleanup, suggestion (2) was the route taken.
It would not allow an "empty" OP_RETURN
but would reduce the required padding from 22 bytes to 5.

The functional test is also modified to test the actual case
we care about: 64 bytes

  68. glozow commented at 10:24 am on December 20, 2022: member

    reACK b2aa9e85289fc654106a890c35935e9c76c411fb

    Changes were

    • commit message note about Great Consensus Cleanup doing <=64
    • assertion that size with witness is greater than 64
    • comment typo fix
    • release note

    CI failure looks unrelated
