You may have heard that Bitcoin had something to do with a recent ransomware attack. You may have heard that Bitcoin is a bubble. You may think it's used exclusively by drug dealers and traffickers to launder their dirty money, or get rich by "mining" for cyber-gold. A Short History of Virtual Money Bitcoinmining works by having nodes solve complex mathematical equations to verify transactions. The fastest and most efficient miner wins the right to verify these transactions. Bitcoin miners do so by creating a hash that is generated from the information in their block, which then competes to solve a mathematical equation. What is Bitcoin Mining? Bitcoin mining is the process of adding Bitcoin transaction records to Bitcoin's public ledger of past transactions. This process is known as "mining" because it solves a mathematical puzzle, called a "hash algorithm", to validate and verify each transaction to be then recorded on the blockchain. The miner is rewarded with bitcoins for doing this work Bitcoin Mining Browser Exploit Bitcoin mining is the process of creating new bitcoins by solving difficult cryptographic equations created in mining algorithms. https://www.miners-bitcoin.com gets it name from the way bitcoins are made: Miners create a 'proof of work', which completes the requirements to add a block to Bitcoin's public ledger of transactions and unlocks new bitcoins. This means that any computer with access to an internet connection in the world can use Bitcoin. Introducing Ethereum For that reason, bitcoin is like a simple “sales currency” system, where tokens are given more value because they are scarce. Elsewhere, Ethereum has given birth to what some people call “the world computer” concept. Bitcoin employs the idea of tokens that can be used as a means of payment, but Ethereum also enables developers to use it for computation. Putting Trust in Algorithms New bitcoins can be generated by mining but the process is complicated and requires expensive equipment, so few miners are part of the new income. The algorithms on which Bitcoin relies are based on distrust; trust no one, not even yourself. Bitcoin Mining is a process to record cryptocurrency transactions on blocks and create new bitcoins as a reward for the miner.
