The miner API allows you to remote control the node’s mining operation and set various mining specific settings.

miner_Getdashrate#

Get your hashrate in H/s (Hash operations per second).

miner_setExtra#

Sets the extra data a miner can include when miner blocks. This is capped at 32 bytes.

miner_setGasPrice#

Sets the minimal accepted gas price when mining transactions. Any transactions that are below this limit are excluded from the mining process.

miner_start#

Start the CPU mining process with the given number of threads and generate a new DAG if need be.

miner_stop#

Stop the CPU mining operation.

miner_setEtherbase#

Sets the etherbase, where mining rewards will go.

miner_setGasLimit#

Sets the gas limit the miner will target when mining. Note: on networks where EIP-1559 is activated, this should be set to twice what you want the gas target (i.e. the effective gas used on average per block) to be.
