Please write a clear, concise description of your topic here.You will likely reference your introduction from somewhere else. Please use the following syntax at the end of each of your ideas. '''IT IS CRITICAL YOU ATTRIBUTE''' others work. Your introduction should be factual. No more than 3 or 4 sentences, please. Because you are not an expert in your topic, I expect you to triangulate your information. LOTS OF LINK TO OTHER RESOURCES PLEASE! If you do not use a section, please delete it. Your finished page should only have information which explains your topic.

* miners receive cryptocurrency as a reward for completing "blocks" of verified transactions which are added to the blockchain.
* mining rewards are paid to the miner who discovers a solution to a complex hashing puzzle first, and the probability that a participant will be the one to discover the solution is related to the portion of the total mining power on the network.

Advanced programming[1]

Miners are computer owners who contribute their computing power and energy to the network of a “proof-of-work” based cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. The first miner to validate a new block for the blockchain receives a portion of the currency that is mined as a reward. This remuneration is called a block reward.[2]


  • miners earn cryptocurrency without having to put down money for it.
  • miners receive cryptocurrency as a reward for completing "blocks" of verified transactions which are added to the blockchain.
  • mining rewards are paid to the miner who discovers a solution to a complex hashing puzzle first, and the probability that a participant will be the one to discover the solution is related to the portion of the total mining power on the network.
