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 v0.18, restart bitcoind with the +`-deprecatedrpc=generate` configuration. |
