I have a question about the nonce search algorithm. Let's say I have a s9 miner and my competitor has a more powerful s19. We both check nonces from 0 sequentially, so I will check nonces that my competitor has already checked. Does it make sense to use a random nonce to increase mining efficiency?

    Hi Oleh, I think your question is answered on one of these related topics already: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/36192/5406 or https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/1236/5406. This is not an issue because every miner works on unique block templates.—If you agree with my assessment, please flag your questions as a duplicate of the one that you feel fits best. – Murch Apr 04 '23 at 17:17
  • Does this answer your question? How cooperative or competitive is the mining process? – Mercedes Apr 16 '23 at 08:20
