Description

Figure out target threshold calculation based on calculate_difficulty()

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a miner that calculates the target threshold using the calculate difficulty() function. The miner should perform proof of work by iterating nonces, computing SHA 256 hash of the block with nonce, and checking if the hash is below the target. Ensure the miner can create a valid block and add it to the chain. Study the existing block structure and mining algorithm if any.
