var validblock = new Block(Buffer.from(validblockRlp, 'hex'))

ethash.verifyPOW(validblock, function (result) {
  console.log(result)
})

BROWSER

Yep, you can browserify it.

API

• new Ethash([cacheDB])
• ethash.verifyPOW(block, cb)
• ethash.mkcache(cacheSize, seed)
• ethash.run(val, nonce, fullsize)

new Ethash([cacheDB])

Creates a new instance of Ethash.

Parameters

• cacheDB - an instance of a levelup db which is used to store the cache(s)

ethash.verifyPOW(block, cb)

Verifies the POW on a block and its uncles

Parameters

• block - the block to verify
• cb - the callback which is given a Boolean determining the validaty of the block

ethash.mkcache(cacheSize, seed)

Creates a cache. NOTE: this is automatically done for in - ethashb3.verifyPOW(block, cb) so you do not need to use this function if you are just validating blocks

Parameters

• cachSize - the size of the cach
• seed - the seed as a Buffer

ethash.run(val, nonce, fullsize)

Runs ethash on a give val/nonce pair. NOTE: you need to run ethashb3.mkcache(cacheSize, seed) first before using this function.

Parameters

• val - value to run ethash on e.g. the header hash
• nonce - the nonce used for this hash attempt
• fullsize - the fullsize of the cache.

Returns

An Object containing:

• hash - the hash of the value
• mix - the mis result
