That's my previous article on generating transactions manually. The current article continues where that left off, discussing mining.

I wanted the titles to show the articles are related, but I think I've caused confusion. If someone has a better title suggestion, please let me know. (Genuine request, not sarcasm.)

Interesting article as always. No problem with the title. I just made a mistake.

I like to have more articles with a technical discussion of the mining process. Most people just listen to the "lottery" part of mining and don't hear the chaining and transaction recording part. So they soon propose a new mining algorithm that is more "usefull" or doesn't require so much energy.
