An “output descriptor” should not have many different checksums #30632

   Is there an existing issue for this?

   • I have searched the existing issues

   Current behaviour

   There are different BIP-380 checksums for the same addresses/ScriptPubKey/keys: “mpfvuvu6” and “ecrayewn”, e.g.:

   0$ bitcoin-cli deriveaddresses "wpkh([b8688df1]xprv9s21ZrQH143K2x4gnzRB1eZDq92Uuvy9CXbvgQGdvykXZ9mkkot6LBjzDpgaAfvzkuxJe9JKJXQ38VoPutxvACA5MsyoBs5UyQ4HZKGshGs/84'/0'/0'/0/0)#mpfvuvu6"
   1[
   2  "bc1qgkju4yvvtuz0s8vqn837q396jezu2h8ex7gk98"
   3]
   

   0$ bitcoin-cli deriveaddresses "wpkh([b8688df1]xprv9s21ZrQH143K2x4gnzRB1eZDq92Uuvy9CXbvgQGdvykXZ9mkkot6LBjzDpgaAfvzkuxJe9JKJXQ38VoPutxvACA5MsyoBs5UyQ4HZKGshGs/84h/0h/0h/0/0)#ecrayewn"
   1[
   2  "bc1qgkju4yvvtuz0s8vqn837q396jezu2h8ex7gk98"
   3]
   

   Expected behaviour

   The checksum should be the same irrespectively how a ScriptPubKey is represented (“output descriptor” formats, hex string, binary etc.). Different checksums are against their purpose, confuse users, alerting as if ScriptPubKey/data were entered incorrectly by a user.

   Steps to reproduce

   See the “current behaviour” section above.

   The goal of the checksum is to protect the human-readable string from data transmission errors, not to establish a global output identifier. You can specify the same output script in different ways, and this doesn’t mean they will share the same checksum. Look:

   1. Your descriptor "wpkh([b8688df1]xprv9s21ZrQH143K2x4gnzRB1eZDq92Uuvy9CXbvgQGdvykXZ9mkkot6LBjzDpgaAfvzkuxJe9JKJXQ38VoPutxvACA5MsyoBs5UyQ4HZKGshGs/84'/0'/0'/0/0)#mpfvuvu6"

   3. Only the public key "wpkh(02e1e839f771a9af60554e043de9a2c5af6dabc5bd1d32f33197097dca548e8957)#3ygyu5py"

   I’m seeing an issue related to this.

   When I get checksums of two descriptors (an internal and external one) individually, I get these checksum values:

   I’m computing these descriptors outside of core, and creating an export feature into core. What is causing a deviation of the descriptors to result in a different checksum, if all of the descriptor portions of the importdescriptor argument are identical?

   @Rob1Ham That is an unrelated issue likely caused by usage of single quotes for the hardened identifier (notice how your import string uses a single quote). I suggest using h, it resolves a ton of shell escape issues that can cause errors like that.

   Confirmed using hs worked!
