Currently, as the price of bitcoin rises highly, many people want to get bitcoin. Usually there are two ways to get bitcoin, The first is to buy the bitcoins from some trade platform. The second way is what we call bitcoin mining.
Then, A group of people called "bitcoin miners" was born!
First, I will explain to you what is the meaning of bitcoin miner and mining bitcoin.
Mining is the process of identifying transactions that occur in a bitcoin system over a period of time and make a block on the blockchain. The guy who records the data we call it "Miner".
Are you still confused? It doesn't matter. You can understand it like that. Mining is actually a bookkeeping process, which is to record the transactions that occur in a certain period of time, and the miners are the bookkeepers, and the blockchain is like the account book. The first miner to successfully complete the bookkeeping, and the system rewards him some bitcoins.
The first person to mine the bitcoin was Satoshi Nakamoto, the father of Bitcoin. He successfully created the first block on January 2009, , dug out the first 50 bitcoins, which is equal to USD 0.5million now.
So many people are Shouting, "I want to be a miner and dig for bitcoin!"
So is it so easy to dig the bitcoin? Currency the system will adjust mining difficulty to guarantee the bitcoin mining time is about 10 minutes one time. It means very 10 minutes all the miners will calculate a math problem together, finally the first one who gets the answer will get the bitcoins. So how do you ensure that your own computer can get the top place overall the Internet?
And, according to incomplete statistics, the difficulty of getting the bitcoin now is 68 billion times the difficulty of the first bitcoin.
All in all, I don't think being a miner is an easy job. It is better to learn something of the blockchain.
It is not an easy job to get the bitcoin from mining now...
