Proof-of-work related integer types.

Provides the Work and Target types that are use in proof-of-work calculations. The functions here are designed to be fast, by that we mean it is safe to use them to check headers.

Structs

  • CompactTarget
    Encoding of 256-bit target as 32-bit float.
  • Target
    A 256 bit integer representing target.
  • TryFromError
