Struct Block 

pub struct Block {
    pub transactions: Vec<Transaction>,
    pub timestamp: u64,
    pub nonce: u64,
    pub block_pow_difficulty: [u8; 32],
    pub tx_pow_difficulty: [u8; 32],
    pub previous_block: Hash,
    pub hash: Option<Hash>,
}

Stores transaction, difficulties, its hash, and its nonce The hash can be often used for indexing, however can only be trusted if this node checked this block already

Fields

transactions: Vec<Transaction>

timestamp: u64

nonce: u64

block_pow_difficulty: [u8; 32]

tx_pow_difficulty: [u8; 32]

previous_block: Hash

hash: Option<Hash>

Implementations

impl Block

pub fn new_block_now( transactions: Vec<Transaction>, block_pow_difficulty: &[u8; 32], tx_pow_difficulty: &[u8; 32], previous_block: Hash, ) -> Self

Create a new block timestamped now, with a set of transactions, specifying transaction difficulty and block difficulty

pub fn get_hashing_buf(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, EncodeError>

Get this blocks hashing buffer required to mine this transaction. Essentially makes sure that any hash attached to this block is not included in the block hashing buffer WARNING: Slow

pub fn compute_pow(&mut self) -> Result<(), EncodeError>

👎Deprecated

Mine this block and attach its hash. DEPRECATED: This is single threaded and cannot be used for actual mining as proper, multi-threaded mining machines outperform this by absolute miles
