In this video, we will explain what miners are, what do they do, how much do they earn, and if there are any downsides to being one.
Miners are people who record and verify transactions on a blockchain. This is done by solving complex mathematical problems. If done properly, miners receive a cryptocurrency as a reward.
As a result, miners aren’t responsible just for the verification of transactions and keeping the network safe, but they also introduce new coins into circulation.

🟡 What Are Miners?
Miners are people who record and verify transactions on a blockchain. This is done by solving complex mathematical problems using hardware with a high processing power.
This results in the nonce - a number that, when obtained, reflects the restrictions of the difficulty level imposed by the hash function. The first miner to identify the nonce receives a reward in the cryptocurrency native to the blockchain.
🟡 What Do Miners Actually Do?
In order for miners to actually receive the reward given for verifying transactions, two things must happen.
First, they need to verify one megabyte worth of transactions - depending on how much data a transaction stores, this can represent anywhere between one transaction to several thousand.
🟡 How Much Does A Miner Earn?
So all of that hard work for nothing? Obviously, no. Eventually, someone is going to be the first one to guess the answer correctly and receive the reward.
Still, the rewards for Bitcoin mining are reduced by half every four years. Therefore, in 2009, when the first Bitcoin was mined, mining one block would have a miner a reward of 50 BTC. This was halved in 2012 to 25 BTC, in 2016 to 12.5 BTC, and to 6.25 BTC in 2020.
🟡 Are There Downsides To This?
Mining has its own risks, usually financial ones. A person could spend thousands of dollars on mining equipment and not enjoy a return on their investment. Still, this can be avoided by joining a mining pool (a group of crypto miners who combine their computational resources over a network).
🟡 Conclusions
Miners are the ones responsible for creating new cryptocurrencies, record, and verify transactions on a blockchain. They do this by solving complex math problems which, in turn, could offer them a reward - if they are lucky. Despite some negative sentiment towards this, most countries welcome miners.
