 ((("candidate blocks")))((("blocks", "candidate blocks")))Alice's transaction was picked up by the network and included in the pool of unverified transactions. Once validated by the mining software it was included in a new block, called a _candidate block_, generated by Jing's mining pool. All the miners participating in that mining pool immediately start computing Proof-of-Work for the candidate block. Approximately five minutes after the transaction was first transmitted by Alice's wallet, one of Jing's ASIC miners found a solution for the candidate block and announced it to the network. Once other miners validated the winning block they started the race to generate the next block.

-Jing's winning block became part of the blockchain as block #277316, containing 420 transactions, including Alice's transaction. The block containing Alice's transaction is counted as one "confirmation" of that transaction.
