Motivation

We want to support the RPCs used by mining pools.

https://zcash.github.io/rpc/getmininginfo.html

Tasks

s-nomp uses the networkhashps field for statistics:

• https://github.com/s-nomp/node-stratum-pool/blob/d86ae73f8ff968d9355bb61aac05e0ebef36ccb5/lib/pool.js#L452

This might need a new state request to calculate the network hash rate from recent blocks.

Other mining pools have told us they use the chain field to detect mainnet or testnet.

We can skip the other fields for now.
