Now that we’ve seen a simple example of Proof-of-Work, let’s integrate it into our blockchain! Complete the proof_of_work() method inside the Blockchain class.
Instructions
1.
Inside the .proof_of_work() method, create a local variable proof and assign it the block’s hash.
2.
Finish the rest of the method by creating a loop that increments the nonce value until the hash with the required difficulty has been generated.
After finding the correct hash, set the value of the block.nonce back to 0 and return the correct hash outside of the loop.
