What’s Bitcoin mining?
Bitcoin mining is the method that generates new Bitcoins and processes transactions ont he blockchain.
However why has Bitminter and others shut down?
- Mining is now far more tough and requires larger {hardware}
- For the house person, mining bitcoin is out of attain – until you lease miners from somebody like Genesis Mining, you’re actually restricted.
One of many important issues with mining was that there have been plenty of rip-off websites. Even assessments we did, websites got here up and paid out, however then disappeared nearly in a single day. A few of them had been horrible scams and are nonetheless round at the moment. Within the early days, I obtained scammed by them.
You may, in fact, mine different cash like Etherium with your own home laptop. Bitminter has gone and I’d think about that different mining swimming pools will disappear in addition to extra folks go for different funding and crypto methods sooner or later.
