Public Methods

Method	Description
BitcoinSerializeToStream ( Stream stream ) : void
Block ( NetworkParameters @params, byte payloadBytes ) : System	Constructs a block object from the BitCoin wire format.
CloneAsHeader ( ) : Block	Returns a copy of the block, but without any transactions.
CreateNextBlock ( Address to ) : Block
Equals ( object o ) : bool
GetDifficultyTargetAsInteger ( ) : BigInteger	Returns the difficulty target as a 256 bit value that can be compared to a SHA-256 hash. Inside a block the target is represented using a compact form. If this form decodes to a value that is out of bounds, an exception is thrown.
GetHashCode ( ) : int
GetWork ( ) : BigInteger	Returns the work represented by this block. Work is defined as the number of tries needed to solve a block in the average case. Consider a difficulty target that covers 5% of all possible hash values. Then the work of the block will be 20. As the target gets lower, the amount of work goes up.
ToString ( ) : string	Returns a multi-line string containing a description of the contents of the block. Use for debugging purposes only.
Verify ( ) : void	Verifies both the header and that the transactions hash to the merkle root.
VerifyHeader ( ) : void	Checks the block data to ensure it follows the rules laid out in the network parameters. Specifically, throws an exception if the proof of work is invalid, if the timestamp is too far from what it should be. This is not everything that is required for a block to be valid, only what is checkable independent of the chain and without a transaction index.
VerifyTransactions ( ) : void	Checks the block contents

Private Methods

Method	Description
AddCoinbaseTransaction ( byte pubKeyTo ) : void	Adds a coinbase transaction to the block. This exists for unit tests.
AddTransaction ( Transaction t ) : void	Adds a transaction to this block.
Block ( NetworkParameters @params ) : System	Special case constructor, used for the genesis node, cloneAsHeader and unit tests.
BuildMerkleTree ( ) : IList
CalculateHash ( ) : Sha256Hash	Calculates the block hash by serializing the block and hashing the resulting bytes.
CalculateMerkleRoot ( ) : Sha256Hash
CheckMerkleRoot ( ) : void
CheckProofOfWork ( bool throwException ) : bool	Returns true if the hash of the block is OK (lower than difficulty target).
CheckTimestamp ( ) : void
CheckTransactions ( ) : void
CreateNextBlock ( Address to, uint time ) : Block	Returns a solved block that builds on top of this one. This exists for unit tests.
Solve ( ) : void	Finds a value of nonce that makes the blocks hash lower than the difficulty target. This is called mining, but solve() is far too slow to do real mining with. It exists only for unit testing purposes and is not a part of the public API. This can loop forever if a solution cannot be found solely by incrementing nonce. It doesn't change extraNonce.
WriteHeader ( Stream stream ) : void

Method Details

BitcoinSerializeToStream() public method

public BitcoinSerializeToStream ( Stream stream ) : void
stream	Stream
return	void

Block() public method

Constructs a block object from the BitCoin wire format.

public Block ( NetworkParameters @params, byte payloadBytes ) : System
@params	NetworkParameters
payloadBytes	byte
return	System

CloneAsHeader() public method

Returns a copy of the block, but without any transactions.

public CloneAsHeader ( ) : Block
return	Block

CreateNextBlock() public method

public CreateNextBlock ( Address to ) : Block
to	Address
return	Block

Equals() public method

public Equals ( object o ) : bool
o	object
return	bool

GetDifficultyTargetAsInteger() public method

Returns the difficulty target as a 256 bit value that can be compared to a SHA-256 hash. Inside a block the target is represented using a compact form. If this form decodes to a value that is out of bounds, an exception is thrown.

public GetDifficultyTargetAsInteger ( ) : BigInteger
return	Org.BouncyCastle.Math.BigInteger

GetHashCode() public method

public GetHashCode ( ) : int
return	int

GetWork() public method

Returns the work represented by this block.

Work is defined as the number of tries needed to solve a block in the average case. Consider a difficulty target that covers 5% of all possible hash values. Then the work of the block will be 20. As the target gets lower, the amount of work goes up.

public GetWork ( ) : BigInteger
return	Org.BouncyCastle.Math.BigInteger

Parse() protected method

protected Parse ( ) : void
return	void

ToString() public method

Returns a multi-line string containing a description of the contents of the block. Use for debugging purposes only.

public ToString ( ) : string
return	string

Verify() public method

Verifies both the header and that the transactions hash to the merkle root.

public Verify ( ) : void
return	void

VerifyHeader() public method

Checks the block data to ensure it follows the rules laid out in the network parameters. Specifically, throws an exception if the proof of work is invalid, if the timestamp is too far from what it should be. This is not everything that is required for a block to be valid, only what is checkable independent of the chain and without a transaction index.

public VerifyHeader ( ) : void
return	void

VerifyTransactions() public method

Checks the block contents

public VerifyTransactions ( ) : void
return	void
