If it's scrambled by the miner's public key, why can't the miner un-scramble it?
- kalmi10 9y agoThe miner has to serve the "scrambled" data (or derived proof). The "scrambling" is slow enough that the miner cannot do it in realtime. It's in the whitepaper.
- TrickyRick 9y agoIt's probably encrypted with the owner's public key, just an educated guess though.
- mappum 9y agoThey can, the idea is that they can mine more efficiently by storing the scrambled version rather than storing it unscrambled and re-scrambling when they need to generate a mining proof.
