I don't know much about blockchain that's why I'll have to ask. What is a nonce and hash??

A hash is a generated value for a block in a blockchain. It usually represents a mathematical function.

While a nonce is a number that's attached to a hashed block in a blockchain.

Okay, let me try to break it down a bit for you

A blockchain is an arrangement of many blocks. Each block is represented by a mathematical function. The value of that function is a hash. It's automatically generated so no one can tamper with the data of any block.

When a hash is attached to a block, it needs to be identified. The number attached to a block to help identify it is a nonce.

I clearly had no idea about how the blockchain works until now, atleast I can understand a thing or two especially about the bitcoin being a cryptocurrency in the blockchain.

That's nice 🙂

Thank you for taking time to enlighten us

My pleasure
