abstract class Openclerk\Currencies \ HashAlgorithm

All known direct subclasses:

SHA256,Scrypt

---

A "HashAlgorithm" represents some type of algorithm used to hash a cryptocurrency. The performance of the algorithm can be measured in some way, in operations per second.

This is the base interface; other interfaces will provide additional functionality as necessary.

Method Summary

Name	Description
getCode()	Get the unique 1-32 character algorithm code for this algorithm, e.g. 'sha256' or 'scrypt'. Must be lowercase. This is not visible to users.
getDivisor()	For some currencies, hashrates are normally measured in kh/s (divisor = 1e3); for some currencies, hashrates are normally measured in MH/s (divisor = 1e6); for some currencies, hashrates are normally measured in GH/s (divisor = 1e9).
getDivisorText()	Get the user-visible text for this divisor. By default, generates the text based on #getDivisor().
getName()	Get the English name of this algorithm, e.g. "SHA-256" or "Scrypt".

public function getDivisor()

For some currencies, hashrates are normally measured in kh/s (divisor = 1e3); for some currencies, hashrates are normally measured in MH/s (divisor = 1e6); for some currencies, hashrates are normally measured in GH/s (divisor = 1e9).

Returns:

by default, 1e3
