¿Qué es Mining?
The process of assembling candidate blocks and searching for a valid proof of work, rewarded with the block subsidy plus transaction fees.
Mining orders transactions and issues new coins as a side effect. Miners choose which transactions to include, generally by fee rate, and receive the subsidy plus the fees of the block they find.
Mining is a competitive commodity business with thin margins: revenue is set by the network, costs are dominated by energy and hardware, and difficulty rises whenever the business becomes profitable enough to attract more capacity.
