Cryptocurrency mining is the process of using computer hardware to validate transactions and add new blocks to a blockchain, typically through solving complex mathematical puzzles in a system called proof-of-work, as used by Bitcoin. Miners are rewarded with newly created coins and transaction fees, incentivizing them to maintain and secure the network. It requires specialized hardware (like ASICs or GPUs), knowledge of energy costs, and often significant technical setup to be profitable.
