Title: a different idea.dev should look.

First of all hello.
you know mining bitcoin is adding a nonce number to the candidate block and taking the sha256 hash of it and comparing it with the target number.
when we're making it we are always start from 0 but if we add the numbers randomly ? what will happen ? is not it affect block finding chance ?
what do you think about this opinion ?

I think I've got millions of dollars.
Oh wait, no I don't.
Oh well, seems "thinking something" doesn't make it true after all ...

you're sayin it but technically its possible.because you try a nonce.
