Block Structure:

Index (sequential block number)
Timestamp
Previous block's hash
Transactions array
Nonce (modified during mining)
Difficulty target


Mining Process:

while (mining) {
    nonce++
    hash = SHA256(index + previousHash + timestamp + transactions + nonce)
    if (hash.startsWith('0' * difficulty)) {
        // Valid block found
        break
    }
}

Difficulty Adjustment:

Initial difficulty: 6 leading zeros
Increases by 0.0001 per block
Maximum blocks: 1,000,000,000,000,000


Rewards:

100 CryptoCoins per successful block
Rewarded coins can be traded for experience points
Rate: 5000 coins = 1000 EXP ($0.05)


Validation:

Each block requires proof meeting difficulty target
Chain maintains immutability through previous hash references
Server verifies solutions before accepting blocks

The mining process is deliberately computationally intensive to maintain coin scarcity while rewarding participating nodes. The difficulty adjustment ensures consistent block timing as network hashpower changes.
