Do you know what Bitcoin mining is? If not, here’s the deal – It is the way that Bitcoin transactions are verified and new coins are produced. Nowadays, this verification is done through miners, also known as ASIC’s (application specific integrated circuits). Miners are dedicated hardware which verify whatever transactions are going on, and the miners are then rewarded with Bitcoin or whatever crypto currency they are mining. When Bitcoin first started, the difficulty was very low, but as Bitcoin gained momentum and more and more people started embracing it, the difficulty kept increasing.
