But as blockchain’s popularity grew, the difficulty and cost of mining increased. Today, a single desktop computer is no longer enough and solo mining is not nearly as effective as it used to be.

With most major cryptocurrencies, the amount of coins is limited, just like there is a limited amount of gold hidden underground. And just like a gold miner strikes lumps of rock to find a gold vein, a cryptocurrency miner (that is, their computer) hits the algorithm with potential solutions to mine a new block. In other words, what cryptocurrency miners do is extract units of cryptocurrency from the protocol.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Miner usually refers to both the hardware used to tackle mining cryptocurrency, as well as the person operating that hardware.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>But what exactly does the mining process look like? In essence, miners try to find a number called a \u003Cstrong>nonce\u003C/strong>. When combined with the block data and passed through the \u003Ca href=\"/en-gb/learn/blockchain/how-does-hashing-work/\">hashing algorithm\u003C/a>, this nonce will produce a certain result required by the blockchain’s code. The tricky part is finding the nonce, and the only way to find it is to guess. There is a huge amount of possible nonces, which means miners need to guess billions and billions of times before they get it right. While it is often referred to as solving a puzzle, it in fact relies more on computing power, time and also luck.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>Crypto mining rewards and fees\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>To further spice things up, mining is a race. All miners compete against one another in guessing to find the nonce. Only the first miner to find any given nonce receives a \u003Cstrong>mining reward\u003C/strong> (or \u003Cstrong>block reward\u003C/strong>) for mining a new block. In the \u003Ca href=\"/en-gb/learn/cryptocurrency-guide/what-is-bitcoin-btc/\">Bitcoin\u003C/a> protocol, this reward currently amounts to \u003Cstrong>6.25 BTC\u003C/strong> and is cut in half every 210,000 blocks mined, or approximately every 4 years. Other cryptocurrencies have different block reward sizes.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Miners also receive a \u003Cstrong>mining fee\u003C/strong> for adding new transactions to the blockchain. This fee is paid by users whose transactions are added to a new block. It functions as a compensation for the work of the miners. The higher fee you offer, the faster the miners will pick your transaction and include it in their block (historically, Bitcoin fees have averaged in a range of 0.1 to 10 USD per transaction, but can spike during high traffic). Once a solution to the latest block is found, the winning miner announces their victory by propagating the mined block to the network. The entire mining community then moves on to mine the next block.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>Why is mining important?\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Mining blocks by solving complex cryptographic puzzles is not necessary only to add information to the blockchain. The point of mining is to \u003Cstrong>secure the blockchain\u003C/strong>.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (though not all cryptocurrencies) use mining power as a safety feature. If you want to change anything on the Bitcoin blockchain, you would have to re-mine the block that contains the information you want to alter, as well as \u003Cstrong>every block after that\u003C/strong>, up to the present.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Because mining a block takes a lot of computational power, it requires a lot of energy. Energy directly translates into money. Therefore, it would be very expensive and difficult to change any information stored on the blockchain, as you would have to do all the crypto mining over again. If it were easy to add blocks to the blockchain, it would also be easy to hack the information.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>This process is called \u003Cstrong>\u003Ca href=\"/en-gb/learn/crypto-101/what-is-proof-of-work-pow/\">proof of work\u003C/a>.\u003C/strong> Mining essentially means finding the solution to a complex problem specified by proof of work mechanism – the solution \u003Cem>proves\u003C/em> that you’ve done \u003Cem>the work\u003C/em> (click here to learn more about proof of work). Other ways of securing the blockchain also exist. The most well-known is \u003Cstrong>\u003Ca href=\"/en-gb/learn/crypto-101/what-is-proof-of-stake-pos/\">proof of stake\u003C/a>.\u003C/strong> But if there’s no proof of work, then there’s no mining.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>The evolution of crypto mining\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>While luck is a factor in mining, the computing power of a miner plays the most important role. More processing power means that a miner can guess at a faster rate, which increases their chances of solving the puzzle. Because of this, miners are always investing time and money into upgrading their systems.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>While the first miners could make a profit using ordinary desktop computers and their CPUs (a computer’s central processor), today’s mining is shifting to a more grand-scale approach. With the use of high-power ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits), mining is becoming increasingly \u003Ca href=\"/en-gb/learn/blockchain/centralized-and-decentralized-networks/\">centralized\u003C/a>. This means that the majority of the hashing power is going into the hands of individual mining companies.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>To combat the trend, individual miners (and there are hundreds of thousands of them around the world) are on the lookout to increase their processing power. They can do so by forming mining networks referred to as \u003Cstrong>mining pools\u003C/strong>. Mining pools don’t only share their computational power, but also the block reward. If a given mining pool beats other miners to the solution, each of the contributing miners in the winning pool receives a \u003Cstrong>share\u003C/strong> of the cryptocurrency reward.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>Ecological aspects of mining\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Mining is a very complex computational process. As such, its biggest downside is the amount of energy required to run the mining rigs. As mining difficulty increases, the energy needed to mine a new block increases, as well. Since the dawn of Bitcoin in 2009, the cost of mining new units of cryptocurrency has skyrocketed. For this reason, the mining community is always on the lookout for new ways to lower the cost of their work.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>One of the solutions is moving to a location with cheap energy. Iceland and Russia, for example, have cheaper electricity than Germany. The cost of mining one bitcoin is nearly three times as high in Germany as it is in Iceland or Russia. The latter two are, therefore, more cost-efficient for a mining business. Another solution is using renewable energies to power mining rigs. According to \u003Ca href=\"https://bitcoinminingcouncil.com/q4-bitcoin-mining-council-survey-confirms-sustainable-power-mix-and-technological-efficiency/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">research from the Bitcoin Mining Counsel\u003C/a>, in Q4 of 2021, it was estimated that 58.5% of the energy used to mine bitcoin came from renewable energy.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>But setting up your crypto mining business would require a huge starting investment. An easier and much cheaper option for those who wish to enter this market is to join a cryptocurrency exchange. It’s analogous to setting up your own gold mine, or just investing via a gold exchange platform. So you can grab your virtual pickaxe or let others do the heavy lifting and invest from the comfort of your home.\u003C/p>\n","full","left",{"text":17},[],[],"July 29th,
