Bitcoin Mining
Bitcoin mining is the process by which new bitcoins are created and transactions are verified and added to the blockchain network. It involves powerful computers solving complex mathematical problems to secure the Bitcoin network and maintain its decentralized nature. Individuals, companies, and even specialized mining pools participate in this process, known as miners. These miners play a crucial role in ensuring the integrity and security of the Bitcoin network. As the number of bitcoins in circulation is limited, mining also serves as a means of distributing new bitcoins. Miners are rewarded with newly minted bitcoins for their computational efforts and the energy they contribute to the network. Bitcoin mining has evolved over time, with the advent of more efficient hardware and the rise of mining farms. These farms, often operated by companies, leverage economies of scale to maximize their mining capabilities. Additionally, mining protocols and algorithms have been developed to adapt to the increasing computational power and maintain the network's stability. Crypto exchanges facilitate the trading of bitcoins, allowing miners to convert their earned bitcoins into traditional currencies or other cryptocurrencies. This dynamic ecosystem of people, companies, protocols, and blockchain networks collectively contribute to the functioning and growth of Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market.
What Bitcoin's 2024 Halving Means for Miners
The reward for successfully mining a bitcoin block is cut in half roughly every four years and the bitcoin mining hashrate, a measure of computing power on the network, will likely decline dramatically a year from now, once rewards are halved. "The Hash" panel shares insights on how miners can survive the upcoming halving in 2024.
L'halving Bitcoin sta arrivando e solo i minatori più efficienti sopravviveranno
Solo i minatori con i costi energetici più bassi e le attrezzature più efficienti sopravvivranno all'evento che si verifica una volta ogni quattro anni.
Bitcoin Miners Likely Selling Their Output at the $28K Level: Matrixport
Bitcoin (BTC) is experiencing selling pressure at the $28,000 price level, and miners may be responsible, crypto services provider Matrixport said in a new report. Miners are being forced to liquidate any new bitcoin mined as margins have narrowed in recent weeks, the report said. "The Hash" panel discusses the key takeaways and what it suggests about the state of bitcoin mining operations.
Marathon Digital CEO Addresses Newly-Passed Mining Bills in Texas
In the past few weeks, two crypto mining bills, SB 1929 and HB 591, are awaiting Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s signature. The legislation shows support for miners. Marathon Digital Holdings CEO Fred Thiel breaks down how the bills could impact crypto miners in the Lone Star state.
Coinmint fa causa al produttore di chip della California per 23 milioni di dollari, accusandolo di "inganno elaborato"

Bitcoin Mining Controversy and the Case of Greenidge Generation
Greenidge Generation, a bitcoin mining operation in upstate New York, has found itself at the center of state and national debates about the impact crypto mining firms have on the environment and their local communities. But locals who live near the facility say they’ve been cut out of the conversation, and the broader debate ignores the role Greenidge plays in their lives. CoinDesk reporters traveled to the towns immediately adjacent to the mining operation to understand the views on the ground.
State of Miners Amid Increasing Transaction Fees on Bitcoin

Ordinals Upend Bitcoin Mining, Pushing Transaction Fees Above Mining Reward for First Time in Years
For the first time since 2017, some bitcoin (BTC) miners are getting paid more to process transactions on the blockchain than they’re rewarded for creating new BTC, a potentially welcome development following the battering the industry has faced lately. CoinDesk's chief insights columnist David Z. Morris joins "All About Bitcoin" to discuss.
Biden Administration Pushes for Punitive Tax on Crypto Mining
Troy Cross, professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Reed College and Fellow at Bitcoin Policy Institute, joins "All About Bitcoin" to discuss the energy usage of bitcoin mining and the White House's proposal to push for a punitive tax on crypto mining tax.
