Hello.
I have a few questions I have been wondering around. I tried to search about them on DDG but any of the results answered them.
1 - Does ASIC machines get some sort of copy of Bitcoin Core to generate blocks, verify them, et, cetc?
2 - If 1 is a "No", why bitcoin core software has commands to generate blocks, templates, etc, etc? Is that for testing purposes only?
3 - If 1 is a "Yes", can I generate a block just for the fun of playing with it and learn about bitcoin core commands some more? Can I try to create a raw transcation put it in that block and try to add that block to the network, even knowing that obviously it will be rejected and probably I'm even thinking baout it the wrong way?
4 - IF I can't do that on mainnet, can it be done in testnet or regtest for learning purposes?
Thanks
