# Transaction Controller

Transaction Controller is an aggregate of sub-controllers and trackers
exposed to the MetaMask controller.

- txStateManager
    responsible for the state of a transaction and
    storing the transaction
- pendingTxTracker
    watching blocks for transactions to be include
    and emitting confirmed events
- txGasUtil
    gas calculations and safety buffering
- nonceTracker
    calculating nonces

## txMeta's & txParams

A txMeta is the "meta" object it has all the random bits of info we need about a transaction on it. txParams are sacred every thing on txParams gets signed so it must
be a valid key and be hex prefixed except for the network number. Extra stuff must go on the txMeta!

Here is a txMeta too look at:

```js
txMeta = {
  "id": 2828415030114568, // unique id for this txMeta used for look ups
  "time": 1524094064821, // time of creation
  "status": "confirmed",
  "metamaskNetworkId": "1524091532133", //the network id for the transaction
  "loadingDefaults": false, // used to tell the ui when we are done calculatyig gass defaults
