Foundation Kawpow

This is a Node module for simple hashing and verifying inputs using the KawPOW proof-of-work algorithm as implemented by Ravencoin. Most of the native code comes from or is adapted from Ravencoin 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.

Usage

const kawpow = require('foundation-kawpow');
const mixOutBuf = Buffer.alloc(32);
const hashOutBuf = Buffer.alloc(32);

/**
 * Hash using a single nonce and place results into the specified output Buffers.
 *
 * Note that all input values are expected to be in little-endian format.
 *
 * All output values are in little endian format
 *
 * @param headerHashBuf {Buffer} 32-byte header hash
 * @param nonceBuf {Buffer} 8-byte nonce value (64-bits)
 * @param blockHeight {number} Block height integer
 * @param mixOutBuf {Buffer} Mix hash result output Buffer
 * @param hashOutBuf {Buffer} Hash result output Buffer
 */

kawpow.hashOne(headerHashBuf, nonceBuf, blockHeight, mixOutBuf, hashOutBuf);

console.log(mixHashBuf.toString('hex'));
console.log(hashOutBuf.toString('hex'));

const kawpow = require('foundation-kawpow');
const hashValueOut = Buffer.alloc(32);

/**
 * Verify a mix hash.
 *
 * Note that all input values are expected to be in little-endian format.
 *
 * All output values are in little endian format.
 *
 * @param headerHashBuf {Buffer} 32-byte header hash
 * @param nonceBuf {Buffer} 8-byte nonce value (64-bits)
 * @param blockHeight {number} Block height integer
 * @param mixHashBuf {Buffer} Mix hash for verification
 * @param hashOutBuf {Buffer} Hash result output Buffer
 * @returns {boolean} True if valid, otherwise false.
 */

const isValid = kawpow.verify(headerHashBuf, nonceBuf, blockHeight, mixHashBuf, hashValueOut);

if (isValid) {
    console.log(hashValueOut.toString('hex'));
}
else {
    console.log('Invalid');
}
