### `eth_sign`
2020-09-23 13:35:53 +00:00
The sign method calculates an Ethereum specific signature with: sign(keccak256("\x19Ethereum Signed Message:\n" + len(message) + message))).
By adding a prefix to the message makes the calculated signature recognisable as an Ethereum specific signature. This prevents misuse where a malicious DApp can sign arbitrary data (e.g. transaction) and use the signature to impersonate the victim.

toBlock: QUANTITY|TAG - (optional, default: "latest") Integer block number, or "latest" for the last mined block or "pending", "earliest" for not yet mined transactions.
address: DATA|Array, 20 Bytes - (optional) Contract address or a list of addresses from which logs should originate.
topics: Array of DATA, - (optional) Array of 32 Bytes DATA topics. Topics are order-dependent. Each topic can also be an array of DATA with “or” options.

## Miner Methods
### `miner_setGasPrice`
Sets the minimal gas price used to accept transactions. Any transaction below this limit is excluded from the validator block proposal process.
This method requires a `node` restart after being called because it changes the configuration file.
Make sure your `ethermintd start` call is not using the flag `minimum-gas-prices` because this value will be used instead of the one set on the configuration file.
#### Parameters
- Hex Gas Price
```json
// Request
curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"miner_setGasPrice","params":["0x0"],"id":1}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8545
// Result
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":true}
```
### `miner_setEtherbase`
Sets the etherbase. It changes the wallet where the validator rewards will be deposited.
#### Parameters
