Mining is the process of creating new bitcoins, which is built on the solution of complex mathematical problems by computers. Mining is the only way to issue a cryptocurrency. One of the translations of the word mining is \u201cmining or development of deposits.\u201d If we are talking about bitcoin, then we are dealing with the production of \u201cvirtual gold.\u201dWho is mining bitcoin?People who are mining are called miners. This word also means specialized devices for mining bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.What is it like?In part, miners can be compared to participants in torrent trackers, which, by launching a special program, allow other users to download movies or music. In the case of Bitcoin, miners maintain the functioning of the payment system, confirm transactions, and maintain a consensus about a single and unchanging state of the entire network. They receive bitcoins as a reward.How does the mining process take place?The mining process consists of calculating the hash (output) of the block header in the blockchain. The block includes the previous block header hash, transaction hash, and a random number. When a new block is formed, the miner receives a reward \u2014 a certain amount of bitcoins. Many miners are competing for the award at the same time. Typically, transactions included in a block are considered confirmed after six blocks in a row have been calculated.What does cryptocurrency mining look like?Today, cryptocurrency mining most often takes place in specialized data centers, which are also called mining farms. A typical bitcoin mining farm is a room containing several ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits). In the room itself, the required temperature regime is maintained or other cooling methods are used.Is mining profitable?The economic feasibility of mining is determined by several factors at once: the cost of electricity, the performance of \u201chardware,\u201d the current complexity, as well\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
