Tobin C. Harding	624cda07b3	Remove unnecessary casts ... Clippy emits a bunch of warnings of form: warning: casting to the same type is unnecessary ... As suggested, remove the unnecessary casts.	2022-11-04 11:44:23 +11:00
Tobin C. Harding	02a2b43b2b	Remove Default impl for Target and Work ... A zero default value for `Target` and `Work` has no significance and/or usecase, remove the derived `Default` implementation. Includes making `Target::ZERO` public.	2022-09-30 12:02:06 +10:00
Tobin C. Harding	cb9893c4a9	Add Target and Difficulty types ... Currently we use the `Uint256` type to represent two proof of work integers, namely target and difficulty (work). It would be nice to not have a public integer type that is not fully implemented (i.e., does not implement arithmetic etc as do integer types in stdlib). Instead of implementing all the stdlib functions we can instead add two new wrapper types, since these are not general purpose integers they do not need to implement anything we do not need to use. - Add a `pow` module. - Put a modified version of `Uint256` to `pow`. - Add two new wrapper types `Target` and `Difficulty`. - Only implement methods that we use on each type. Note this patch does not remove the original `Uint256`, that will be done as a separate patch.	2022-09-28 04:16:59 +10:00
