What Is Bitcoin Mining?


Bitcoin miners run specific software on their computers to help collectively solve very large and complex problems. Much like "SETI at Home" or "Folding at Home".

Every transaction that takes place using bitcoins is recorded in a public ledger called the blockchain. Basically, the block chain is a history of all confirmed transactions and a record of how much each bitcoin wallet has. Think of it like an army of accountants constantly writing who has how much and who paid whom in a huge piece of paper for all to verify (the blockchain). The process called bitcoin mining confirms each of these transactions before it is saved into the blockchain. On a few occasions, a transaction is really a reward of several bitcoins. This reward is what gives bitcoin miners the incentive to mine. Because the process of searching for bitcoin takes a lot of effort for computers, it is has come to be called "mining".
