Preuve de Travail (PoW)

Mécanisme de consensus où les mineurs valident par le calcul.

## Technical Deep Dive: The Hash Search

Miners iterate through values of a nonce to find a block hash that meets the network's difficulty target.

``python
while hash(block_data + nonce) > target:
nonce += 1
``

### Key Metrics
- Target: A 256-bit number. The lower the target, the harder it is to find a valid hash.
- Hashrate: Measured in hashes per second (H/s). Currently in the Exahash (EH/s) range for Bitcoin.
- Difficulty Adjustment: A periodic recalibration of the target to ensure consistent block intervals regardless of changes in total network hashrate.
