Block structure
Each block contains: height, timestamp, previous hash, difficulty, nonce, transactions, and the miner’s reward output.
Rewards & coinbase
The network pays a fixed scalar yield (e.g., 458 BNC at launch) to the miner address declared in the coinbase transaction.
Difficulty & timing
Difficulty adjusts to target an average block time. Short‑term variance is normal; over time the average converges.
Confirmations
A payment is safer as more blocks build on top. Many apps treat 3–6 confirmations as final for small amounts.
