How are them?


Every mining pool is calculating a different block? or could them calculate the same block?

How the system works?
😆
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

It's a lottery. Whoever gets it first wins, and that "win" needs to be confirmed by the rest of the network. So if pool A generates a block at time 1, and pool B generates a block at time 1.0000001, pool A will win, assuming the generation is validated by everyone else.

And since every new block is built on the hash of the previous block, everyone starts over using that hash when a block has been generated. So, in effect, everyone is working on the same block.
Bitcoins: solid enough to build pyramids.
