Foundation Equihash

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.

Need Support?

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.

Install & Test

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

Usage

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);
