Functions

func AlgoVerIterator

func AlgoVerIterator(height int32) (next func(), curr func() int32,
	more func() bool,
)

AlgoVerIterator returns a next and more function to use in a for loop to iterate over block versions at current height

func ForkCalc

func ForkCalc()

func GetAlgoID

func GetAlgoID(algoname string, height int32) uint32

GetAlgoID returns the 'algo_id' which in pre-hardfork is not the same as the block version number, but is afterwards

func GetAlgoName

func GetAlgoName(algoVer int32, height int32) (name string)

GetAlgoName returns the string identifier of an algorithm depending on hard fork activation status

func GetAlgoVer

func GetAlgoVer(name string, height int32) (version int32)

GetAlgoVer returns the version number for a given algorithm (by string name) at a given height. If "random" is given, a random number is taken from the system secure random source (for randomised cpu mining)

func GetAlgoVerSlice

func GetAlgoVerSlice(height int32) (o []int32)

func GetAlgos

func GetAlgos(height int32) (o map[string]AlgoParams)

GetAlgos returns the map of names and algorithm parameters

func GetAveragingInterval

func GetAveragingInterval(height int32) (r int32)

GetAveragingInterval returns the active block interval target based on hard fork status

func GetCurrent

func GetCurrent(height int32) (curr int)

GetCurrent returns the hardfork number code

func GetMinBits

func GetMinBits(algoname string, height int32) (mb uint32)

GetMinBits returns the minimum diff bits based on height and testnet

func GetMinDiff

func GetMinDiff(algoname string, height int32) (md *big.Int)

GetMinDiff returns the minimum difficulty in uint256 form

func GetNumAlgos

func GetNumAlgos(height int32) (numAlgos int)

GetNumAlgos returns the number of algos at a given height

func GetRandomVersion

func GetRandomVersion(height int32) int32

GetRandomVersion returns a random version relevant to the current hard fork state and height

func GetTargetTimePerBlock

func GetTargetTimePerBlock(height int32) (r int64)

GetTargetTimePerBlock returns the active block interval target based on hard fork status
