What this library is capable of and what is missing

[morr0ne]

This library is great but it's missing quite a bit of functionality and it's hard to track down what's implemented and what not.

I decided to compile a list of all available and missing features.

Blockchain RPCs

• getbestblockhash
• getblock
  • verbosity level 0
  • verbosity level 1
  • verbosity level 2
• getblockchaininfo
• getblockcount
• getblockfilter
• getblockhash
• getblockheader
• getblockstats
• getchaintips
• getchaintxstats
• getdifficulty
• getmempoolancestors
• getmempooldescendants
• getmempoolentry
• getmempoolinfo
• getrawmempool
  • verbose false
  • verbose true
• gettxout
• gettxoutproof
• gettxoutsetinfo
• preciousblock
• pruneblockchain
• savemempool
• scantxoutset
• verifychain
• verifytxoutproof

Control RPCs

• getmemoryinfo
• getrpcinfo
• help
• logging
• stop
• uptime

Generating RPCs

• generateblock
• generatetoaddress
• generatetodescriptor

Mining RPCs

• getblocktemplate
• getmininginfo
• getnetworkhashps
• prioritisetransaction
• submitblock
• submitheader

Network RPCs

soon

Rawtransactions RPCs

soon

Util RPCs

soon

Wallet RPCs

The list is not complete yet because it take a bit of time to write everything down. Nonetheless I'm sharing what I've done so far.
I feel something like this is essential to build a roadmap and actually get an understanding of the progress of the library

I can't speak for everyone, but at least my impression is that stuff just gets implemented whenever someone actually needs it and there is no real "roadmap" 😆 but we are always happy about PRs.

I got the same impression 😆
I think having a clear list of what is possible with this library will help a bit

fwiw: getchaintips support was added in #164

[0xB10C]

and getblocktemplate in #163 but this still needs #176
