# Generating
The following RPC calls interact with the Tokel blockchain daemon, and are made available through the tokel-cli software.
The Tokel blockchain inherits all Komodo smartchain RPC's, but not all RPC's are enabled. For simplicity, our documentation only shows those commands that are enabled and available for use.
# getgenerate
getgenerate
The getgenerate method returns a boolean value indicating the server's mining status.
The default value is false.
TIP
See also gen.
# Arguments
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| (none) | (none) |
# Response
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| true/false | (boolean) | indicates whether the server is set to generate coins |
# 📌 Examples
Command:
./tokel-cli getgenerate
You can find your rpcuser, rpcpassword, and rpcport in the coin's .conf file.
Command:
curl --user $rpcuser:$rpcpassword --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getgenerate", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:$rpcport/
# setgenerate
setgenerate generate ( genproclimit )
The setgenerate method allows the user to set the generate property in the coin daemon to true or false, thus turning generation (mining/staking) on or off.
Generation is limited to genproclimit processors. Set genproclimit to -1 to use maximum available processors.
TIP
See also the getgenerate method to query the current setting, and genproclimit for setting the default number of processors the daemon uses through the .conf file.
# Arguments
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| generate | (boolean, required) | set to true to turn on generation; set to off to turn off generation |
| genproclimit | (numeric, optional) | set the processor limit for when generation is on; use value "-1" for unlimited |
# Response
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| (none) | (none) |
# 📌 Examples
# Activate mining with maximum available processors
Command:
./tokel-cli setgenerate true -1
# Activate staking
Command:
./tokel-cli setgenerate true 0
# Activate mining with 4 threads
Command:
./tokel-cli setgenerate true 4
# Check the setting
Command:
./tokel-cli getgenerate
# Turn off generation
Command:
./tokel-cli setgenerate false
# Turning the setting on via json RPC
Command:
curl --user $rpcuser:$rpcpassword --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "setgenerate", "params": [true, 1] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:$rpcport/
