mineBlock Source #

Arguments

:: PublicKey	PublicKey address where coinbase reward will be sent
-> [Transaction]	List of transactions to include in transaction
-> Blockchain Validated	Validated blockchain
-> IO (Either MineBlockException Block)

Finds the next block of a blockchain. Depending on blockchain configuration, this function may take a long time to complete.

mineEmptyBlock Source #

Arguments

:: PublicKey	PublicKey address where coinbase reward will be sent
-> Blockchain Validated	Validated blockchain
-> IO (Either MineBlockException Block)

Finds the next block of a blockchain, without including any transactions. Most useful for testing - removes the invariant of an invalid transaction list. Depending on blockchain configuration, this function may take a long time to complete.

mineGenesisBlock :: BlockchainConfig -> IO Block Source #

Finds the first block of a blockchain. Depending on blockchain configuration, this function may take a long time to complete. Note: this generates a keypair but throws away the private key. Coinbase reward in genesis block cannot never be spent.

mineBlockchain :: BlockchainConfig -> IO (Blockchain Validated) Source #

Creates a blockchain from the given config. This includes mining a genesis block.
