The node should answer to a "Mining task request" with a "Mining task response"
### Mining task response (Node -> Client)
| content | size (bytes) |
|---|---|
| protocol version = 0 (BE) | 2 |
| capable version = 0 (BE) | 2 |
| type = 8 (BE) | 1 |
| timestamp (unix time in seconds, BE) | 8 |
| previous hash | 32 |
| difficulty sum (BE) | 32 |
| transaction (optional) | 148 |
The node tells the miner "timestamp", "previous hash", "difficulty sum" and "transaction" for the new block.
The miner fills "nonce", "message" and "miner pubkey" on its own.
When a miner finds a block, it sends a "block transfer" message to the node.
