Bug - Impossible to restore addresses about samourai-dojo

[Technifocal]

@kenshin-samourai Fair enough, using active seems to work. I feel like the documentation for active could be improved as it does not mention that they will be imported at all:

active - string - A pipe-separated list of extended public keys and/or loose addresses and/or pubkeys (xpub1|address1|address2|pubkey1|...)

@pxsocs Dojo is only able to acquire UTXOs, not STXOs, without using oxt.me (which is disabled by default for privacy reasons, I believe). This is a limitation of bitcoind's scantxoutset

[kenshin-samourai]

addresses are restored by passing the addresses to /multiaddr through the "active" parameter.

as you will notice step 1 doesn't process active addresses.

others parameters of the endpoint (new, bip49, bip84, pubkey) are for new addresses/xpubs.

I'm going to try to detail here the steps I'm taking. Both with the Dojo Maintenance Tool as well as with the API and the results I'm getting. I just can't get the transaction details correctly or reliably. Not sure what I'm missing. Tried many different things and still not getting reliable transaction data.

Importing with the Maintenance Tool

Test 1

Sample random address: 3BMEXqGpG4FxBA1KWhRFufXfSTRgzfDBhJ

OXT Shows the following activity:

1. Click on Tab MULTIADDR and enter:
   active=3BMEXqGpG4FxBA1KWhRFufXfSTRgzfDBhJ
   Result:
   
   Notice the hash of the single transaction is the hash of the last transaction in this address (on July 3rd).

Result with this address: Correct Balance (since last tx is ok) but only 1 tx listed

Test 2

Sample random address: 1Ckq6GXGWMoALRV4hLTcoJTKX5rVUDbNLz

1. Click on Tab MULTIADDR and enter:
   active=1Ckq6GXGWMoALRV4hLTcoJTKX5rVUDbNLz
   Result:
   

Result with this address: Correct Balance (zero) but no tx listed.

Alternative method tried with the Maintenance Tool

. Step 1: MULTIADDR: new=[add]
. Step 2: ADDR. RESCAN
. Step 3: MULTIADDR: pubkey=[add]
This method works some times returning all txs (but doesn't work consistently)

Importing with the API

Test 1

Sample random address: 1JFzLv56GqDgxg8S88t9Mt46x19sD9P9zP

1. Send Get request:
   GET /multiaddr?active=1JFzLv56GqDgxg8S88t9Mt46x19sD9P9zP&at=[token]
   API LOG Returns:

Importing 1JFzLv56GqDgxg8S88t9Mt46x19sD9P9zP
Got 0 transactions
Imported 1 addresses in 44.3s (44335 ms/addr)

2. List Transactions:
   GET /txs?active=1JFzLv56GqDgxg8S88t9Mt46x19sD9P9zP&at=[token
   Returns:
   {"n_tx": 0, "address": "1JFzLv56GqDgxg8S88t9Mt46x19sD9P9zP", "balance": 0}

Result with this address: No Txs seem to be imported.

@Technifocal that would explain the missing transactions. Thanks.

[kenshin-samourai]

@Technifocal ACK for the doc

@pxsocs Technifocal is 100% correct about the limitations of dojo when using bitcoind's scantxoutset.
