🔗 Blockchain Mining Simulation

🎯 Your Goal

Compete with other miners to add the next block to the blockchain and earn rewards!

⛏️ Mining Steps

1. Select Transactions: Click on up to 5 pending transactions to include in your block
2. Find Valid Hash: Adjust the nonce until your block hash starts with enough zeros
3. Submit Block: Once you find a valid hash, submit your block to earn rewards

🔢 Key Concepts

• Hash: A unique fingerprint for your block's data
• Nonce: A number you change to modify the hash
• Difficulty: How many zeros the hash must start with
• Proof of Work: Finding the right nonce proves you did computational work

💰 Rewards

• Block Reward: 3 coins for successfully mining a block
• Transaction Fees: Additional coins from the transactions you include
• Strategy: Choose transactions with higher fees to maximize earnings

🚀 Pro Tips

• Use "Auto Mine" to automatically search for valid nonces
• Higher difficulty means more zeros required (harder to find)
• First miner to find a valid hash wins the block
• Add your own transactions to increase the pool size
