  Recipe for Mining: Step 2

 After validating all these transactions, it’s time to generate a block.

As previously mentioned, there are several pieces of information necessary to construct a block, For example, the Merkle Root, which we generate from our list of transactions.

After constructing the block data, we are finally able to start working on the most expensive part of the mining process, the step that earned this whole process of Proof-of-Work the “mining” title: finding a valid nonce.
