Get Best Block Hash

Returns the latest hash value of the best chain. This function is provided to improve compatibility with Bitcoin-based exchanged. Please note that Ixian doesn't support the concept of multiple concurrent chains, so this function will always return the latest accepted block's checksum value. The only scenario where this API might return incorrect results is in the event of a network split, before the nodes have re-connected and performed appropriate chain reorganization.

Method: getbestblockhash

Input parameters:

None

Errors:

Error	Description
RPC_INTERNAL_ERROR	An unknown error occurred in the node. Please check the node log for details.
