Expand description

Bitcoin block header.

Contains all the block’s information except the actual transactions, but including a root of a merkle tree committing to all transactions in the block.

§Bitcoin Core References

Fields§

§version: Version

Block version, now repurposed for soft fork signalling.

§prev_blockhash: BlockHash

Reference to the previous block in the chain.

§merkle_root: TxMerkleNode

The root hash of the merkle tree of transactions in the block.

§time: u32

The timestamp of the block, as claimed by the miner.

§bits: CompactTarget

The target value below which the blockhash must lie.

§nonce: u32

The nonce, selected to obtain a low enough blockhash.

Implementations§

§

impl Header

pub const SIZE: usize = 80usize

The number of bytes that the block header contributes to the size of a block.

pub fn block_hash(&self) -> BlockHash

Returns the block hash.

pub fn target(&self) -> Target

Computes the target (range [0, T] inclusive) that a blockhash must land in to be valid.

pub fn difficulty(&self, params: impl AsRef<Params>) -> u128

Computes the popular “difficulty” measure for mining.

Difficulty represents how difficult the current target makes it to find a block, relative to how difficult it would be at the highest possible target (highest target == lowest difficulty).

pub fn difficulty_float(&self) -> f64

Computes the popular “difficulty” measure for mining and returns a float value of f64.

pub fn validate_pow( &self, required_target: Target ) -> Result<BlockHash, ValidationError>

Checks that the proof-of-work for the block is valid, returning the block hash.

pub fn work(&self) -> Work

Returns the total work of the block.
