Types

type Agent

type Agent interface {
	Work() chan<- *Work
	SetReturnCh(chan<- *Result)
	Stop()
	Start()
	GetHashRate() int64
}

Agent can register themself with the worker

type Backend

type Backend interface {
	AccountManager() *accounts.Manager
	BlockChain() *core.BlockChain
	TxPool() *core.TxPool
	ChainDb() ethdb.Database
	CheckWitnessId(id string) bool
	GetRefAddr() (common.Address, []common.Address)
}

Backend wraps all methods required for mining.

type Miner

type Miner struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Miner creates blocks and searches for proof-of-work values.

func New

func New(eth Backend, config *params.ChainConfig, mux *event.TypeMux, engine consensus.Engine) *Miner

func (*Miner) HashRate

func (self *Miner) HashRate() (tot int64)

func (*Miner) Mining

func (self *Miner) Mining() bool

func (*Miner) Pending

func (self *Miner) Pending() (*types.Block, *state.StateDB)

Pending returns the currently pending block and associated state.

func (*Miner) PendingBlock

func (self *Miner) PendingBlock() *types.Block

PendingBlock returns the currently pending block.

Note, to access both the pending block and the pending state simultaneously, please use Pending(), as the pending state can change between multiple method calls

func (*Miner) Register

func (self *Miner) Register(agent Agent)

func (*Miner) SetEtherbase

func (self *Miner) SetEtherbase(addr common.Address)

func (*Miner) SetExtra

func (self *Miner) SetExtra(extra []byte) error

func (*Miner) Start

func (self *Miner) Start(coinbase common.Address)

func (*Miner) Stop

func (self *Miner) Stop()

func (*Miner) Unregister

func (self *Miner) Unregister(agent Agent)

type Result

type Result struct {
	Work  *Work
	Block *types.Block
}

type Work

type Work struct {
	Block *types.Block // the new block
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Work is the workers current environment and holds all of the current state information
