How to get block confirmations after submiting job to stratum API?

[blackmennewstyle]

Hello,

I'm trying to work with https://github.com/BeamMW/beam/wiki/Beam-mining-protocol-API-(Stratum)

I have a question regarding block confirmations when i submit a solution to the stratum API.

If i submit a solution and the stratum API accepts it and then returns accepted and blockHash. Does it always mean i have won that block?

Also what about block minimum confirmation? Does BEAM has a block confirmations mechanism? If yes, is there any RPC method which will return that value?

Most probably it means you won the block, but not necessarily. There can be a race condition (someone could've found the solution just a little earlier). There can also be a reorg in the future.

The most robust way is to see of the block with this hash remain in the blockchain after a specific time interval.

Thank you :)

I made some digging and indeed comparing the blockhash is the most accurate indicator. I also read about the necessary240 block confirmations.

Have a great week ahead 🔥 🚀
