hi all,

Am using nice hash to throw up some hashrate to slush pool.
Assuming there is only one block at current time.

Do i have to mine after a block is confirmed(valid or invalid) or mining means "confirming the blocks"(valid or invalid)?

For example on slushpool.
Block found and 100 confirmations to validate/confirm block.
and there is duration mentioned for each found block.

PFL for image of slushpool.
So, it means, after 100 confirmations, the block is valid and then we have 16:09:37 hrs to validate transactions, so that i can mine?
or
Confirming the blocks is itself mining?

Someone please clarify? thanks
