• Optional solution: Solution
▸ iterate(iterations?): Promise<undefined | Solution>
Iterate iterations times over nonces to find a valid PoW. Caches solution if one is found

|---|---|---|---|
iterations |
number |
0 |
Number of iterations to iterate over. If -1 is passed, the loop runs until a solution is found |
Promise<undefined | Solution>
undefinedif no solution was found, or otherwise aSolutionobject
▸ mine(iterations?): Promise<undefined | BlockHeader | Block>
Iterate iterations time over nonces, returns a BlockHeader or Block if a solution is found, undefined otherwise
| Name | Type | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
iterations |

0 |
Number of iterations to iterate over. If -1 is passed, the loop runs until a solution is found |
Promise<undefined | BlockHeader | Block>
undefinedif no solution was found within the iterations, or aBlockHeaderorBlockwith valid PoW based upon what was passed in the constructor
▸ stop(): void
