Fingerprint

Definition

Fingerprints are 256-bit, 64 character hexadecimal user identifiers. Fingerprints are used in defining users in transactions and blocks.

A user's fingerprint is generated via applying SHA256 sum of the user's public RSA key.

The /config endpoint will return the current parameters that Gradecoin uses.

name: Name of this Gradecoin network.
url_prefix: URL prefix for the network. All API commands will be served under this prefix.
- For example, if url_prefix is example, register at gradecoin.xyz/example/register.
- It can be empty, in which case the endpoints are accessed directly from /. Example: gradecoin.xyz/register.
preapproved_users: The name of the CSV file that contains the list of users who can register. Only relevant for the admins.
block_transaction_count: A valid block should have at least this many transactions.
hash_zeros: Determines the number of zero hexadecimal characters a correct hash should start with.
register_bonus: Initial registration bonus. This will determine your balance after registration.
block_reward: Coinbase reward. When a block is proposed successfully and added to ledger, the proposer will gain this amount of coins.
tx_gas_fee: New transaction proposals must pay this amount
tx_upper_limit: Upper limit for transaction amount.
tx_lower_limit: Lower limit for transaction amount.
tx_traffic_reward: Transaction traffic reward, used to incentivize users to make transactions. When an account sends money, it will receive this reward.
bots: The configuration of the bots in this network.
- Each key will be the fingerprint of a bot.
- Each value will be another JSON object. Currently, it only contains one self-explanatory field: starting_balance.

The /version endpoint will return the current version that's currently live on this server.
