You don't need a programming background to understand bitcoin mining. In laymen terms, it is simply using an algorithm provided by the bitcoin network and a fast processor (Usually your GPU or multiple GPUs) to authenticate bit coin transactions. Bit coin transactions use complicated mathematical equations to calculate bitcoin transactions which takes alot of computing power. So the solution is using many computer systems on the network working together to solve these equations quickly and efficiently so transactions can go through and people be able to use bitcoins. The reward for processing these transactions on your system for the network is what the mining in bitcoin mining is. You get a small bitcoin payment for each transaction your verify. The amount is very small but if you process enough transactions it can really add up.

Basically when you make a transaction on bitcoin the transaction has to be authenticated using this process. This authentication process actually happens multiple times. The more often it happens the more "guaranteed" you are that the transaction is legit. Bitcoin is decentralized so you need a reliable way to determine if the bitcoins you receive are authentic and that someone hasn't tried to manipulate the blockchain and as the one giving bitcoin you can see if the transaction does indeed go through properly. This is why you are often recommened to wait for at least 6 or more confirmations before you consider the transaction complete. As an added bonus all transactions are available for anyone to view via blockchains. Think of it like a public ledger that you can go to and see all transactions that have ever taken place on that blockchain. Public ledgers like this still exist today for things like property. You can walk into a city hall public service building and look up any property in your city to see who owns it and how much they paid. That is kinda what is going on here.

if you'd like more info let me know. Cheers.

you and me both, and I've looked up various niche spots and found the learning curve being present was too expectating of me to know something to start with.


the same thing can be said for mining bitcoins, people don't exactly fall over themselves to explain it in lamen term, you either do or don't have a background in some form of programming and or your taking it in college,or someone apprentices some one else into having a general idea to start from.

google could teach me but I would have to peice it together at my own pace from various sources for free but holy shit. it's a steep climb from being a gamer to a producer of a gamer in some aspect be it mapper,coder,texture,skinner,w/e other terms out there exist to even remotely hold a discussion with someone in that niche, you gotta know the lingo to even know how to structure a proper question,because learning requires communication in some fashion even if through observation and emulation at its most basic form.

Nice! Wish I were talented

8 Years ago, I pointed at a boat being rocked in the quakeone/quake1 multiplayer world. I can point at us again too ez, I'm good at just pointing at things in general pew pew pew
