Member Function Documentation

getBlock()

virtual CBlock interfaces::BlockTemplate::getBlock ( )

pure virtual

getBlockHeader()

virtual CBlockHeader interfaces::BlockTemplate::getBlockHeader ( )

pure virtual

getCoinbaseMerklePath()

virtual std::vector< uint256 > interfaces::BlockTemplate::getCoinbaseMerklePath ( )

pure virtual

Compute merkle path to the coinbase transaction.

Returns

merkle path ordered from the deepest

getCoinbaseTx()

virtual node::CoinbaseTx interfaces::BlockTemplate::getCoinbaseTx ( )

pure virtual

Return fields needed to construct a coinbase transaction.

getTxFees()

virtual std::vector< CAmount > interfaces::BlockTemplate::getTxFees ( )

pure virtual

getTxSigops()

virtual std::vector< int64_t > interfaces::BlockTemplate::getTxSigops ( )

pure virtual

interruptWait()

virtual void interfaces::BlockTemplate::interruptWait ( )

pure virtual

Interrupts the current wait for the next block template.

submitSolution()

virtual bool interfaces::BlockTemplate::submitSolution ( uint32_t version, uint32_t timestamp, uint32_t nonce, CTransactionRef coinbase )

pure virtual

Construct and broadcast the block.

Modifies the template in place, updating the fields listed below as well as the merkle root.

Parameters

[in]	version	version block header field
[in]	timestamp	time block header field (unix timestamp)
[in]	nonce	nonce block header field
[in]	coinbase	complete coinbase transaction (including witness)

Note

unlike the submitblock RPC, this method does NOT add the coinbase witness automatically.

Returns

if the block was processed, does not necessarily indicate validity.

Note

Returns true if the block is already known, which can happen if the solved block is constructed and broadcast by multiple nodes (e.g. both the miner who constructed the template and the pool).

waitNext()

virtual std::unique_ptr< BlockTemplate > interfaces::BlockTemplate::waitNext ( node::BlockWaitOptions options = {} )

pure virtual

Waits for fees in the next block to rise, a new tip or the timeout.

Parameters

[in]

options

Control the timeout (default forever) and by how much total fees for the next block should rise (default infinite).

Returns

a new BlockTemplate or nothing if the timeout occurs.

On testnet this will additionally return a template with difficulty 1 if the tip is more than 20 minutes old.
