“blockchain solving algorithm”

SHA-256 hash for Bitcoin.
It’s basically an arms race - you keep trying randomly generated numbers until you get one less than a target. The more you can try the better your chances. Remember you get one chance every 10 minutes and it’s winner takes all.

If you don’t have a large power station doing nothing and a lot of starting capital I’d look at mining one of the alt-coins.
