Struct snarkos_network::server::miner_instance::MinerInstance

pub struct MinerInstance { /* fields omitted */ }

Parameters for spawning a miner that runs proof of work to find a block.

Implementations

impl MinerInstance

pub fn new(
    miner_address: AccountAddress<Components>,
    consensus: ConsensusParameters,
    parameters: PublicParameters<Components>,
    storage: Arc<MerkleTreeLedger>,
    memory_pool_lock: Arc<Mutex<MemoryPool<Tx>>>,
    server_context: Arc<Context>
) -> Self

Creates a new MinerInstance for spawning miners.

pub fn spawn(self)

Spawns a new miner on a new thread using MinerInstance parameters. Once a block is found, A block message is sent to all peers. Calling this function multiple times will spawn additional listeners on separate threads. Miner threads are asynchronous so the only way to stop them is to kill the runtime they were started in. This may be changed in the future.
