Nounce

This term is likely a typo for 'Nonce'. A Nonce (Number only used once) is a number added to a hashed block in a proof-of-work blockchain that, when rehashed, meets the difficulty level restrictions. Miners repeatedly change the nonce to find a valid hash, which is the essence of the mining process.
