I recently challenged myself to build a BTC Miner that operates on solo.ckpool.org,
yeah i know chances are close to zero to find a nonce (especially that not only nonce is in the process) but i focused solely on iterating through nonce search space for simplicity.
Now i would like to test if mining a block really works.
But there is a caveat, how do i find a block with a known nonce i could test against my miner?
In perfect world that would be in the same format as the pool provides (JSON)
so that i could test the whole process :
{"result":[[["mining.notify","716b514d"]],"b3b4c76e",8],"id":1,"error":null}
...

Is there a way to find such payload with a known nonce on which i could test run and verify if my miner is really working fine?
To clarify, i am looking for a block where a nonce was found and it is in the format of a json – the same that the pool is sending to miners.
