PoW Ethash CPU Miner

There is a simple CPU miner included within Ethash package which can be used for testing purposes.

See the following example on how to use the new Miner class:

import { Block } from '@ethereumjs/block'
import Ethash from '@ethereumjs/ethash'
import Common from '@ethereumjs/common'
import { BN } from 'ethereumjs-util'
const level = require('level-mem')

const cacheDB = level()
const block = Block.fromBlockData({
  header: {
    difficulty: new BN(100),
    number: new BN(1),
  },
})

const e = new Ethash(cacheDB)
const miner = e.getMiner(block.header)
const solution = await miner.iterate(-1) // iterate until solution is found
