Sorry I have tried to study the yellow paper, but it sounds quite tough to me.. I know the mixhash is a formation of nonce, but I want to know what exactly "forms" the mixhash(e.g. header + nonce ?) and what's the algorithm and calculation?
Thanks!

Thanks, I have found this answer before but I want to know the exact "function" to calculate the mixhash and how to generate it with, say, header + nonce, etc. – Rilakstitch Dec 17 '16 at 15:33

The first google result gives the full specification as well as python code for this – Tjaden Hess Dec 20 '16 at 01:52

1@TjadenHess and what if this question will be the first google result some day? :-) The idea is to collect all knowledge in one place, and this could be stack exchange in the future. – q9f Dec 20 '16 at 10:46
