change(rpc): Adds `getmininginfo`, `getnetworksolps` and `getnetworkhashps` methods #5808

arya2 · 2022-12-07T01:48:49Z

Motivation

We want to support the getnetworksolps, getnetworkhashps, and getmininginfo RPCs.

Solution

Adds a state request for getting the chain solution rate
- Sums up total work for a range of blocks
- Divides it by number of seconds elapsed between the first and last block in the range
Adds RPC getmininginfo, getnetworksolps and getnetworkhashps RPCs

Review

Part of regular scheduled work.

Reviewer Checklist

Will the PR name make sense to users?
- Does it need extra CHANGELOG info? (new features, breaking changes, large changes)
Are the PR labels correct?
Does the code do what the ticket and PR says?
How do you know it works? Does it have tests?

Follow Up Work

Populate other fields for the getmininginfo response

Thanks, this looks great!

I can see some places where the argument handling and result format doesn't seem to match the RPC reference. But I understand the reference might be different from what zcashd actually does.

Can you document each new argument and field with its description from the reference, and document any changes from zcashd or special processing that we do?

I'd also like to see the manual test results from zcash-rpc-diff, that will show up any differences.

I did a zcash-rpc-diff, and it seemed to be the same, good work!

But since it's a manual test, we'll need to do it again before we merge.

- SolutionRate state request - getnetworksolps, getnetworkhashps, & getmininginfo RPCs - vectors tests

updates ReadRequest::SolutionRate doc link

moves snapshot tests up where it can use the populated state service

…r is not added to `total_work`

It looks like we've hit a GitHub API rate limit, causing CI jobs across multiple PRs to fail:
https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/actions/runs/3644298974/jobs/6153406794#step:3:13

it should reset within an hour or so.

I'll ask Gustavo to look into this next week. But until then, please push your commits in batches, rather than one at a time. (Each push runs about 50 jobs.)

Adds "arbitrary_precision" feature to serde_json in zebra-rpc

🤦 Whoops. Okay, noted.

In this last one, all the differences are due to extra fields (including the line deletion for the trailing comma).

Great work, thanks for making this all match up!
