THANK YOU
Isn't is both a guess and check, though? Guess the nonce, run it all through SHA-256 complex math algo to get a hash, and see if that hash meets the criteria to be considered valid. No? Then replace the nonce with a new guess and run the math again to get a new hash. So it is both guessing AND doing complex math to check. And by complex math, I only mean that you can't simply look at the mathematical functions and the output (the hash) you would need from them and work backwards to figure out what the input (the nonce) needs to be.
Yes you are technically correct but it's less funny that way https://i.nostr.build/3P2vW.jpg
Oh, good. Thought I was going to hear it worked differently than I understood, because I saw both you and Lopp post something similar and I know you both understand these things way better than me.
🤣 Yes. It's not really solving complex math equations like it's often portrayed. It's just a guessing game.
0000??????????????????????????????????????????? Come on #Bitaxe, you can do this. #Solominer.
We're basically throwing 64 x 256-sided dice and hoping for a low roll. If the first eight are all zeros and the next is less than 64, you've got it!
