Solo mining

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Hello

Thank you for this simple source.
I suggest now that it doesn't work with pools anymore you make some changes to make it run in solo mode, so we can run and understand it more?
Or give it sample data that the pool returns so just make it run?

No but I like to understand mining procedure.
I understand solo miners or mining pols should read (or have) the mempool, collect transactions, generate blocks and try the nonces to verify the block, if that fails try another block and retry the process.
I just don't know how to access the mempool, do I need to be a full node? or we can use cloud blockchains and mempools, and I like to know the full info
