I am upgrading nakamoto to rust-bitcoin 0.30 and before we were using Uint256 type for implementing the target.
Now that the type was hidden under the Target type I noted that there is no way to
make math operations on the target in order to calculate a new one.
In particular, our previous code is the following, (the last_target is a Uint256
let mut target = last_target;
target = target.mul_u32(adjusted_timespan);
target = target / Target::from_u64(params.pow_target_timespan).unwrap();
So I think that the target should allow to make the multiplication and the division
with the Target type in order to manipulate an object.
Any thought?
