This simple JavaScript program simulates a mining process using the SHA256 hash function. The mining process involves finding a nonce value that, when combined with the block information, produces a hash with a specific difficulty level.

Mining Simulation with SHA256

This simple JavaScript program simulates a mining process using the SHA256 hash function. The mining process involves finding a nonce value that, when combined with the block information, produces a hash with a specific difficulty level.

Features

• Adjust the mining difficulty by modifying the number of leading zeros in the hash.
• Track the number of attempts made to find a valid hash.
• Displays the details of each attempt, including the new hash.

Usage

1. Install Node.js if not already installed.
2. Install dependencies: npm install.
3. Run the mining simulation: node index.js.

Code Structure

• index.js: The main script containing the mining simulation logic.
• package.json: Configuration file for Node.js project dependencies.
