📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds IMoneroRpcProvider, updates Monero dependency injection, changes fee calculation to use a 1,500-byte estimate with quantization rounding, adds fee calculation tests, and updates the .NET SDK version.

Changes

Monero handler refactor

Layer / File(s) Summary
RPC provider contract and wiring
Plugins/Monero/Services/MoneroRpcProvider.cs, Plugins/Monero/Services/*, Plugins/Monero/Controllers/MoneroLikeStoreController.cs, Plugins/Monero/MoneroPlugin.cs, BTCPayServer.Plugins.IntegrationTests/Monero/MoneroPluginIntegrationTest.cs
Adds IMoneroRpcProvider, changes RPC client properties to get-only, and updates Monero consumers and dependency injection to use the interface. Existing provider behavior remains unchanged.
Payment fee calculation
Plugins/Monero/Payments/MoneroLikePaymentMethodHandler.cs
Uses the atomic per-byte fee rate, estimates a 1,500-byte transaction, and rounds the result up to QuantizationMask.
Fee calculation validation and SDK update
BTCPayServer.Plugins.UnitTests/Monero/Payments/MoneroFeeCalculationTests.cs, global.json
Adds asynchronous tests for standard and upward-rounded fee calculations. Updates the configured .NET SDK version to 10.0.302.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 79ee6

The fee-calculation tests still encode an incorrect unit conversion, which could allow payment fees to be undercharged in production. Merge should wait until the test and corresponding fee behavior are corrected or explicitly accepted by the owner.

🌐 Web query:

Monero get_fee_estimate RPC fee units atomic units per byte fee field

💡 Result:

The Monero get_fee_estimate RPC method provides an estimate of the transaction fee required per byte [1][2]. The primary fee field in the response represents this value in atomic units (where 1 XMR = 10^12 atomic units) [1][3]. Key details regarding the get_fee_estimate response include: - Fee (fee field): This value is an unsigned integer representing the estimated fee per byte in atomic units [1][2]. - Priority Levels (fees field): The response may include a fees array, which provides base fee estimates for different network priority levels, typically ordered as [slow, normal, fast, fastest] [1][2]. - Quantization Mask: The result also includes a quantization_mask field [1][2]. Fees for a transaction should be calculated by multiplying the weight of the transaction by the estimated fee and then rounding up to the nearest multiple of this mask [1][4]. The get_fee_estimate call helps developers size transactions correctly to ensure they are accepted by the network and processed with the desired priority [2][5].

Citations:


Use the fee rate in atomic units per byte.

GetFeeEstimateResponse.Fee is already an atomic-unit-per-byte rate. Remove the / 1024 conversion and update the assertion to expect 2,000,000 atomic units (0.000002m) for 100 bytes.

Proposed test correction
-        Assert.Equal(0.000000001900m, context.Prompt.PaymentMethodFee);
+        Assert.Equal(0.000002000000m, context.Prompt.PaymentMethodFee);

Register MoneroRpcProvider as a concrete singleton. Four production services still inject MoneroRpcProvider, and an integration test resolves it directly. Map IMoneroRpcProvider to the same singleton instance.
