D2- Prev hash while creating the candidate block #33

Closed KrithikaGanesh closed 5 years ago

KrithikaGanesh commented 5 years ago

We are expected to create the candidate block from a pool of transactions which maximizes the transaction fees. What would be the previous hash here? As a miner we are creating only one block and not a blockchain so I am not sure what would be the previous hash in this context.

As specified here ( https://github.com/laboon/CS1699_Fall2018/blob/master/deliverables/2/deliverable2.md#running-mine ), the previous hash is passed in as the third argument to the Mine program.

Please let me know if you have other questions or close this issue if it answers your question.
