Bitcoin Mining is a distributed proof-of-work consensus system used to confirm transactions by including them in the block chain. Transactions are then packaged in a block that follows strict cryptographic rules that must be verified by the nodes of the network. Miners are in constant competition with one another to validate their candidate block to earn the block reward – which is how new units of bitcoin are created & how the network is secured.

比特币挖矿是一种分布式工作量证明共识系统，用于通过将交易包含在区块链中来确认交易。然后，交易被打包在一个遵循严格加密规则的块中，这些规则必须由网络节点进行验证。矿工们不断地相互竞争，以验证他们的候选区块以获得区块奖励——这就是新的比特币单位的创建方式以及网络的安全方式。
