Bit 🐳 Ish on Nostr: When miners mine, they have to come up with a number below the difficulty number. ...
When miners mine, they have to come up with a number below the difficulty number. When they go to guess the magic number, they start with a nonce. It's a number that is plugged into a formula to generate a guess. If that guess is below the difficulty, they mine the block by broadcasting it. If it is above, they add 1 to the nonce and try again.
...I think...
