Support `generate_work`, add functions to get block hash without actually sending a transaction

Closed this issue 25 days ago · 4 comments

Adding functions to get block hash without actually sending the transaction will allow people to use locally generated work or generate_work RPC call easier.

I second this - I'm finding out I need the block hash to create a separate call to generate the work via another server.

I'm thinking of making the work param optionally a function, and if it is a function, then passing the block hash to it as a param.

Since it seems like you need this, I'll get to work (hahahahahahahahhahahaha) on this ASAP

In version 0.1.4 a7cc2a9, you can now pass a function (that takes block hash as parameter) instead of a string for the work parameter. I briefly tested but let me know if it doesn't work. @elementalennui-dev
