nimiqclient.models.miner.WorkInstructions

class nimiqclient.models.miner.WorkInstructions(data, suffix, target, algorithm)

Bases: object

Work instructions receipt returned by the server.

Parameters

• data (str) – Hex-encoded block header. This is what should be passed through the hash function. The last 4 bytes describe the nonce, the 4 bytes before are the current timestamp. Most implementations allow the miner to arbitrarily choose the nonce and to update the timestamp without requesting new work instructions.

• suffix (str) – Hex-encoded block without the header. When passing a mining result to submitBlock, append the suffix to the data string with selected nonce.

• target (int) – Compact form of the hash target to submit a block to this client.

• algorithm (str) – Field to describe the algorithm used to mine the block. Always nimiq-argon2 for now.
