getblockfrompeer

We must have the header for this block, e.g. using submitheader.

Subsequent calls for the same block may cause the response from the previous peer to be ignored.

Peers generally ignore requests for a stale block that they never fully verified, or one that is more than a month old.

When a peer does not respond with a block, we will disconnect.

Note: The block could be re-pruned as soon as it is received.

Returns an empty JSON object if the request was successfully scheduled.

Argument #1-blockhash

Type: string, Required

Description: The block hash to try to fetch

Argument #2-peer_id

Type: number (int), Required

Description: The peer to fetch it from (see getpeerinfo for peer IDs)

Result

  {}    (empty JSON object)
