Title: Can we solve blocks offline? Post by: Bitcoin Magazine on April 07, 2014, 05:53:30 PM Like See if we can get the hash with the certain amount of 0's beforehadn, and if we find one, then submit it at any time

Otherwise it is orphaned? Title: Re: Can we solve blocks offline? Post by: bitpop on April 07, 2014, 07:47:04 PM That's called selfish mining
Title: Re: Can we solve blocks offline? Post by: benjamindees on April 07, 2014, 11:09:25 PM I'm pretty sure you need to have the block number, at least, in there somewhere. So, theoretically, yes it is possible to do this. But it is not remotely worthwhile.

Post by: Soros Shorts on April 08, 2014, 05:11:22 AM You need to build your new block on top of the longest known blockchain for it to be accepted by the network. This is why everytime the network finds a new block all miners must discard their work and start from scratch.
