Proof of work
Revision as of 06:17, 2 July 2022 by ForgetfulFunctor (talk | contribs)
A proof of work is a piece of data which is difficult (costly, time-consuming) to produce but easy for others to verify and which satisfies certain requirements. Producing a proof of work can be a random process with low probability so that a lot of trial and error is required on average before a valid proof of work is generated.
