How does the Bitpurz miner work?

1. Enter your Bitcoin address and click Mine button. Your browser should now be mining. It calibrates and checks for a new Bitcoin block, approximately every 60 seconds.
2. Target Difficulty must be greater than Secure Hash to successfully mine a Bitcoin block. Start time and Bitcoin block count are provided for information.
3. Review the refresh information:
1. Hash Count shows the work or number of (SHA-256 hash) compression functions that your browser made in the given time Interval.
2. The Bitcoin proof of work function requires that Block Header is hashed twice before comparing to Target Difficulty. Put another way, half the hash count gives the number of block headers that were processed in the given interval.
3. H/s is the number of hash functions per second.
4. Current Block Header and Secure Hash display at each refresh interval. Feel free to copy and paste the block header into a text editor and see how it changes over time. Notice that the final digits (converted to decimal) change by half of the hash count, at each refresh interval, as your browser loops through the Bitcoin proof of work function.
5. What if someone else finds a new block on the Bitcoin network, or the browser reaches the last possible block header? Your browser requests a new Block Header and the process begins again. Previous block start time is logged for information.
6. What if you find a valid block header? A notification will display below the refresh information. Bitpurz will send the Bitcoin to the successful mining address on 100 block confirmations, which should be less than 24 hours. Note that Bitcoin requires 100 confirmations for a new block.

• Laptop or computer? Try two or three browser tabs or windows to maximise total hash rate. Note that too many miners may result in a network error. If this happens then wait 12 seconds, refresh the page and begin again, but with less open tabs or windows.
