Mavryk_base.P2p_identitytype t = {peer_id : Mavryk_base.P2p_peer.Id.t;public_key : Mavryk_crypto.Crypto_box.public_key;secret_key : Mavryk_crypto.Crypto_box.secret_key;proof_of_work_stamp : Mavryk_crypto.Crypto_box.nonce;}Type of an identity, comprising a peer_id, a cryptographic key pair, and a proof of work stamp with enough difficulty so that the network accept this identity as genuine.
val encoding : t Data_encoding.tval generate :
?yield_every:int ->
Mavryk_crypto.Crypto_box.pow_target ->
t Lwt.tgenerate pow_target is a freshly minted identity whose proof of work stamp difficulty is at least equal to pow_target.
The argument yield_every (defaults to 500) introduces a call to Lwt.pause every that many operations.
val generate_with_bound :
?yield_every:int ->
?max:int ->
Mavryk_crypto.Crypto_box.pow_target ->
t Lwt.tgenerate_with_bound pow_target is a freshly minted identity whose proof of work stamp difficulty is at least equal to pow_target.
The optional argument max sets a maximum number of attempts. If that many attempts are made without finding a successful pow, the function fails with Not_found.
val generate_with_pow_target_0 : unit -> tgenerate_with_pow_target_0 pk generates a proof of work for the public key pk following a (hard-coded) 0 proof-of-work target.
NOTICE: This function is meant for generating dummy identities. It is useful for tests and other such controlled environment but it is not suitable for generating identities for an open network.
