...Q:
Geth Geth, exploring how many nodes are mined in the genesis block
I've been trying to better understand the relationship between the blocks mined by the go-ethereum clients and the blocks that the miners make.
When I do a geth attach I see the blocks mined by Geth are Geth, However, when the miner does a geth fork mining with the same network. Is there a way to find out the exact blocks mined by the miners?
e.g. How to find out that miners have mined 25 blocks and Geth has mined 24 blocks in the genesis block.
A:
I don't see why you would want this, and you probably shouldn't (it's a bad practice).
Geth is just a client and not the mining process itself, the mining process is run by the miner.
What you probably want to do is get the block number that is mined by Geth's mining code:
This is run at the beginning of the process, when starting the client:
var mainnet = require('/home/rohan/Projects/ethereum/geth/testnets/mainnet');
mainnet.start([...], function(err, client) {
console.log(client.blockNumber);
});
The start function is where the Geth mining is done.
And here is the start function for testnet4:
function start(id, testNet, callback) {
var self = this;
var checkForRestarts = 0;
var options = {
networkId: id,
networkParameters: {
rpc: {
http: { port: 8545, host: '127.0.0.1' }
},
eth: {
genesis: {},
network: {
startTime: new Date().getTime()
},
hardfork: {
timestamp: new Date().getTime()
},
