If you often use regtest, you often need to manually mine blocks to test things.

If you're on linux, add this to ~/.bashrc:

```
mine() {
if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then
bitcoin-cli -regtest -generate 1
else
bitcoin-cli -regtest -generate "$1"
fi
}

alias mine=mine
```

Now you can write:

```
$ mine
```

to mine a block, or:

```
$ mine 100
```

to mine 100 blocks and make your Liana timelocks expire.


Another useful alias for .bashrc:

```
alias lastblock='bitcoin-cli -regtest getblock $(bitcoin-cli -regtest getbestblockhash) 2'
```

So you can just write 'lastblock' on the terminal to see all the transactions in the last block.
