This question doesn't have an answer that shows how to get the PoW nonce for a specific block internally from within Solidity.

From my understanding in Ethereum nonce is used for an account's tx increment count whereas in Bitcoin it's the PoW trial by error variable, so I'm not sure if there's a more correct term for it in this ecosystem.

Could someone please answer if it's possible to get the nonce for a specific block and if so how? Also is say the latest block's nonce a more random number than say its difficulty, timestamp, etc?

I think you're confusing blocknumber with txs nonce and using them interchangeable

  • Isn't the blocknumber the block count from genesis? which is different from the PoW nonce solution for a particular block? Whereas the tx nonce would be the tx count for a given account which is unrelated to PoW. – MShakeG Dec 08 '21 at 10:43
