Enter a nonce above, then swing your pickaxe!

Block Info
⚙ How Goblin Mining Works ⚙
Block Construction
Your block contains a single coinbase transaction that creates new bitcoins and sends them to your address. The block header (80 bytes) includes:
- Version - Protocol version with BIP9 signaling bits
- Previous Block Hash - Links to the blockchain
- Merkle Root - Hash of all transactions (just coinbase here)
- Timestamp - Current Unix time
- Bits - Compact difficulty target
- Nonce - YOUR chosen number!
The Sacred Swing
When you swing your pickaxe, we compute SHA256(SHA256(header)) with your chosen nonce and check if the result is below the target.
At mainnet difficulty (~90T), you need a hash starting with approximately 19 zero bytes (76+ zero bits). The odds of any single swing succeeding are about 1 in 1023.
What Are Shares?
Shares are hashes with at least one leading zero byte, displaying as 00.... They occur roughly 1 in 256 swings. Finding one means you're technically mining! Just... very slowly.
