# miner

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\_setEtherbase

Sets the etherbase, where mining rewards will go.

| CLIENT  | METHOD INVOCATION                                        |
| ------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Go      | miner.SetEtherbase(common.Address) bool                  |
| Console | miner.setEtherbase(address)                              |
| RPC     | \{"method": "miner\_setEtherbase", "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]} |
