Wallet `generate` RPC method deprecated
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The wallet's `generate` RPC method has been deprecated and will be fully
|
|
removed in v0.19.
|
|
|
|
`generate` is only used for testing. The RPC call reaches across multiple
|
|
subsystems (wallet and mining), so is deprecated to simplify the wallet-node
|
|
interface. Projects that are using `generate` for testing purposes should
|
|
transition to using the `generatetoaddress` call, which does not require or use
|
|
the wallet component. Calling `generatetoaddress` with an address returned by
|
|
`getnewaddress` gives the same functionality as the old `generate` method.
|
|
|
|
To continue using `generate` in v0.18, restart bitcoind with the
|
|
`-deprecatedrpc=generate` configuration.
