Bitcoin mining is the process of verifying and adding transaction records to the public ledger of Bitcoin, known as the blockchain. It is done by miners, who use specialized hardware and software to solve complex mathematical problems. The miners are rewarded with newly created bitcoins and transaction fees. The mining process is an essential part of the Bitcoin network, as it ensures the security and integrity of the blockchain.
The Bitcoin mining market is highly competitive, with miners competing to solve the mathematical problems and earn rewards. The difficulty of the problems increases over time, as more miners join the network. This means that miners need to invest in more powerful hardware and software to remain competitive. As a result, the cost of mining has increased significantly over the years.
