Do you think the nonce is understood in the video? More or less, it is a simplified approach for beginners  Smiley
Yeah it's a good approach for beginners, they probably won't get it the first time any ways, but having the idea  works Smiley.
Nonce is not the only item that's being subject to change in the block header....
Typically, the nonce starts a 0 and it is incremented until a qualifying hash is found or all the possible nonces have been tried. If all the nonces have been tried, then something else in the header is changed and the nonce starts back at 0. This process keeps going until a block header that has a qualifying hash is found.


hahaha you are right, but they can watch it a few times until they get it.

In fact I mentioned that the miner can alter other data, not only the nonce, during the mining process (I believe this is not relevant for a newbie, but it is still mentioned)  Wink
