mining

Definition

The process of repeatedly hashing a block header while incrementing a nonce until the result contains an arbitrary number of leading binary zeros. This is the process by which new blocks are added to a proof-of-work blockchain. This was how Ethereum was secured before it moved to proof-of-stake.
