'''Mining''' is the activity of creating new [[block]]s on the [[blockchain]]. For the creation of the next structural unit (block of blockchain), remuneration is usually provided in the form of new ([[issue]]d) [[cryptocurrency]] units and/or [[commission]] fees. | |||
Usually, the term "mining" is applied to the blockchain of [[Bitcoin]] and other cryptocurrencies, the extraction of which is reduced to a series of calculations with a search of parameters to find the [[hash]]. These calculations are performed by machines (Asics, video cards, mining farms). | |||
Different cryptocurrencies use different calculation models, but they are always long enough in time to find an acceptable option and fast enough to verify the solution found (see [[PoW]]). Such calculations are used by cryptocurrency [[algorithm]]s to provide protection against repeated spending of the same units, and the [[reward]] encourages people to spend their computing power and maintain the operation of [[network]]s. | |||
'''Mining''' is not the only technology for creating new blocks and ensuring emissions. The alternative is [[forging]] ([[minting]]). Usually, only one technology is used but some cryptocurrencies use combinations of them. | |||
