# Generating

Try mining with the node.

> Not recommended for production, please refer to the mining guide if you are mining on the mainnet

You can use `mvc-cli help command` to view the usage of specific commands. The JsonRpc call method is in the example.

## Commands

```
== Generating ==
generate nblocks ( maxtries )
generatetoaddress nblocks address (maxtries)
```

## generate

Mine up to nblocks blocks immediately (before the RPC call returns) to an address in the wallet.

Param：

* `nblocks` (numeric, required)
* `maxtries` (numeric, optional)

```
generate nblocks ( maxtries )

Mine up to nblocks blocks immediately (before the RPC call returns) to an address in the wallet.

Arguments:
1. nblocks      (numeric, required) How many blocks are generated immediately.
2. maxtries     (numeric, optional) How many iterations to try (default = 1000000).

Result:
[ blockhashes ]     (array) hashes of blocks generated

Examples:

Generate 11 blocks
> mvc-cli generate 11
> curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "generate", "params": [11] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:9882/
```

## generatetoaddress

Mine blocks immediately to a specified address (before the RPC call returns)

Param：

* `nblocks` (numeric, required) 要生成的区块数量。
* `address` (string, required) 奖励发送到的地址。
* `maxtries` (numeric, optional) 最大尝试次数（默认为1000000）。

```
generatetoaddress nblocks address (maxtries)

Mine blocks immediately to a specified address (before the RPC call returns)

Arguments:
1. nblocks      (numeric, required) How many blocks are generated immediately.
2. address      (string, required) The address to send the newly generated mvc to.
3. maxtries     (numeric, optional) How many iterations to try (default = 1000000).

Result:
[ blockhashes ]     (array) hashes of blocks generated

Examples:

Generate 11 blocks to myaddress
> mvc-cli generatetoaddress 11 "myaddress"
> curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "generatetoaddress", "params": [11, "myaddress"] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:9882/

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mvc-dao.gitbook.io/mvc-dao/knowledge-base/usage/mvc-cli/generating.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
