| Wallet `generate` RPC method deprecated | |||||
| --------------------------------------- | |||||
| - The wallet's `generate` RPC method has been deprecated and will be fully | |||||
| removed in v0.22. | |||||
| - `generate` is only used for testing. The RPC call reaches across multiple | |||||
| subsystems (wallet and mining), so is deprecated to simplify the | |||||
| wallet-node interface. Projects that are using `generate` for testing | |||||
| purposes should transition to using the `generatetoaddress` call, which | |||||
| does not require or use the wallet component. Calling `generatetoaddress` | |||||
| with an address returned by `getnewaddress` gives the same functionality as | |||||
| the old `generate` method. | |||||
| - To continue using `generate` in v0.21, restart bitcoind with the | |||||
| `-deprecatedrpc=generate` configuration. | |||||
