miner - Parallax Docs

The miner API is responsible to provide remote control the node’s mining operation and set various mining specific settings.

miner_getHashrate

Get hashrate in H/s (Hash operations per second).

CLIENT	METHOD INVOCATION
Console	miner.getHashrate()
RPC	{“method”: “miner_getHashrate”, “params”: []}

miner_setExtra

Sets the extra data a miner can include when miner blocks. This is capped at 32 bytes.

CLIENT	METHOD INVOCATION
Go	miner.setExtra(extra string) (bool, error)
Console	miner.setExtra(string)
RPC	{“method”: “miner_setExtra”, “params”: [string]}

miner_setGasPrice

Sets the minimal accepted gas price when mining transactions. Any transactions that are below this limit are excluded from the mining process.

CLIENT	METHOD INVOCATION
Go	miner.setGasPrice(number *rpc.HexNumber) bool
Console	miner.setGasPrice(number)
RPC	{“method”: “miner_setGasPrice”, “params”: [number]}

miner_setRecommitInterval

Updates the interval for recomitting the miner sealing work.

CLIENT	METHOD INVOCATION
Console	miner.setRecommitInterval(interval int)
RPC	{“method”: “miner_setRecommitInterval”, “params”: [number]}

miner_start

Start the CPU mining process.

CLIENT	METHOD INVOCATION
Go	miner.Start() error
Console	miner.start()
RPC	{“method”: “miner_start”, “params”: []}

miner_stop

Stop the CPU mining operation.

CLIENT	METHOD INVOCATION
Go	miner.Stop() bool
Console	miner.stop()
RPC	{“method”: “miner_stop”, “params”: []}

miner_setCoinbase

Sets the coinbase, where mining rewards will go.

CLIENT	METHOD INVOCATION
Go	miner.SetCoinbase(util.Address) bool
Console	miner.setCoinbase(address)
RPC	{“method”: “miner_setCoinbase”, “params”: [address]}

miner_setGasLimit

Sets the gas limit the miner will target when mining. Note: on networks where EIP-1559 is activated, this should be set to twice the gas target (i.e. the effective gas used on average per block) to be.

CLIENT	METHOD INVOCATION
Go	miner.SetGasLimit(number *rpc.HexNumber) bool
Console	miner.SetGasLimit(number)
RPC	{“method”: “miner_setGasLimit”, “params”: [number]}
