[Bounty: 1 XMR] Upgrade bdk library

binarybaron commented 1 month ago

According to a core developer of the bdk library https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap/issues/1772 can probably be fixed by upgrading to the latest version of the crate. They added a bunch of improvements to the syncing logic.

This is currently blocked by https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/issues/1606. We need a way to migrate the wallet data.

Turns out the issue is not really blocking our migration. We can just switch to 1.0.0-alpha version of bdk. The descriptors and keys are derived from our seed. The first sync post-upgrade will take a while but all data currently stored in the sled wallet database can be derived from the blockchain state. We won't loose any data aside from caches.
