foundation-equihash
Advanced tools
This is a Node module for simple hashing and verifying inputs using the Equihash proof-of-work algorithm as implemented by ZCash. Most of the native code comes from or is adapted from ZCash code. This module has been developed and tested on Node v10.16.3 and Ubuntu 16.04.
If you need help with a code-related matter, the first place to look is our Discord, where the developers will be available to answer any questions. However, please do not come to me with issues regarding setup. Use Google and the existing documentation for that.
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs -y
sudo apt-get install build-essential libsodium-dev libboost-system-dev
git clone https://github.com/Blinkhash/foundation-equihash.git
cd foundation-equihash
sudo npm install -g mocha
npm install && npm test
var ev = require('bindings')('equihashverify.node');
var header = new Buffer(..., 'hex');
var solution = new Buffer(..., 'hex'); //do not include byte size preamble "fd4005"
ev.verify(header, solution, n, k);
//returns boolean
ev.verify(header, solution);
Maintaining this project has always been driven out of nothing more than a desire to give back to the mining community, however I always appreciate donations, especially if this repository helps you in any way.
