Blockchain Community Meetup: What Is Mining About?
…, what are these “blocks”? The blocks are based on several transactions, like the one you made to purchase a book. Blocks are created by miners - loosely, those are people who solve certain mathematical tasks to do that, though in reality those are special mining devices, i.e. computers. These processes result in the creation of cryptographic hash; each block contain…
