1. A computer-implemented method of delivering hash values from a hashing device to a hashing pool, wherein the method comprises:
obtaining a candidate block header for a candidate block of a blockchain;
performing a plurality of hashing operations on the candidate block header to generate a plurality of candidate proof-of-work (PoW) solutions;
encrypting each of the candidate PoW solutions with an encryption key; and
sending the encrypted candidate PoW solutions directly to the hashing pool, wherein the hashing pool is configured to decrypt the encrypted candidate PoW solutions.
