Hey, 
thanks for the answer - just to recap it for my understanding - 

As soon i (presumably I'm mining on a Block atm) get a new block propagated i just stop working on mine, quickly validate the block i got propagated and start with a new block?

yes, notice that in any case you will need the hashes (number) to start working (hashing) on the next block

<p>quick question - How does a Node react to a new block propagated to the network?
In Terms to  does a Miner stop mining when &quot;he&quot; gets information of a new block to validate it? or does it not stop and validate it in another Thread?</p>
<p>If the Question is unclear - let me know I just began my deep dive into the technical side of Crypto and Blockchain :)</p>
<p>best regards :)</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-05-06)

quick question - How does a Node react to a new block propagated to the network?
In Terms to does a Miner stop mining when "he" gets information of a new block to validate it? or does it not stop and validate it in another Thread?

If the Question is unclear - let me know I just began my deep dive into the technical side of Crypto and Blockchain :)
