The keystone of Bitcoin. This process verifies transactions and creates the blocks in the Bitcoin ledger, or blockchain
through a consensus mechanism known as proof-of-work. Using computing power to Hash
a block by guessing a number, Nonce
(number only used once), until the target number
is found. This target is adjusted in difficulty, depending on the computing power being used, to keep the time of blocks being created at approximately every 10 minutes. Miners
throughout the world are able to join in and try to guess the Nonce with their computing power in a various number of ways, creating and hashing a new block in the Bitcoin blockchain, and getting rewarded in Bitcoin if they are successful in doing so.
Acting in an honest and integral manner towards the Bitcoin network by confirming the transactions in each block. Bitcoin nodes, Nodes
are what create a network, are spread out the entire world, and carrying a copy of the entire immutable
Bitcoin blockchain, making Bitcoin the decentralized network it is. Nodes can be miners and miners don’t have to be full nodes. It’s getting as easy as plug in and forget it to set up your own node or mining operation at home.
