Hello, I am just learning the bitcoin codes of version bitcoin-0.20 and I make it successfully. Additionlly, I have only one PC. I want to mine continuously in segtest ,however I only found methods below:
```
== Generating ==
generatetoaddress nblocks "address" ( maxtries )
generatetodescriptor num_blocks "descriptor" ( maxtries )
```
But these methods can't mine continuously. Hence would you please tell my how to mine continuously in segtest of version bitcoin-0.20?

Thank you very much.

In regtest you can write a loop to mine blocks with a delay:
```
while sleep 600; do bitcoin-cli generatetoaddress 1 foobar ; done
```

Usually the issue tracker is used to track technical issues related to the Bitcoin Core code base. General bitcoin questions and/or support requests are best directed to the Bitcoin StackExchange or the #bitcoin IRC channel on Libera Chat.
