Removed RPCs

EstimatePriority

❗️

Warning: Removed in Dash Core 0.14.0.

The estimatepriority RPC was removed in Dash Core 0.14.0. This should not to be confused with the prioritisetransaction RPC which will remain supported for adding fee deltas to transactions.

Parameter #1---how many blocks the transaction may wait before being included as a free high-priority transaction

NameTypePresenceDescription
Blocksnumber (int)Required
(exactly 1)
The maximum number of blocks a transaction should have to wait before it is predicted to be included in a block based purely on its priority

Result---the priority a transaction needs

NameTypePresenceDescription
resultnumber (real)Required
(exactly 1)
The estimated priority the transaction should have in order to be included within the specified number of blocks. If the node doesn't have enough information to make an estimate, the value -1 will be returned

Examples from Dash Core 0.12.2

dash-cli estimatepriority 6

Result:

718158904.10958910

Requesting data the node can't calculate yet:

dash-cli estimatepriority 100

Result:
