Title: litecoin nonce range.
Post by: megablue on May 15, 2013, 05:46:55 AM
I am trying to understand how the nonce actually work.

Or to be precise, what is the strategy to pick the nonce value / range.

Currently i am using 0~0xffffffff as the max nonce value... Is it a valid range?

If the blockchain structure in litecoin is the same as bitcoin, I do believe the nonce is always a 32 bit value.  So your range is correct.

Thanks! I am working on my own miner for fun & learning.
However most of my work is largely based on bitcoin docs & guesstimations due to proper documentations for litecoin is severely lacking.
