30# Mining
31The _mining_ process for the hash involves;
32- Creating a temporary JSON object with `transaction_list`, `timestamp` and `nonce` values
33- Serializing it
34- Calculating blake2s hash of the serialized string

36If the resulting hash is valid, then you can create a `Block` JSON object with the found `nonce` and `hash`.
