Answering Your Cryptocurrency Mining and Colocation Questions
-
What is cryptocurrency and how does cryptocurrency work?
Cryptocurrency is a computer-generated monetary system. It is created by powerful computers called “miners,” which compete mathematically to secure “transactions.” The transactions are bundled into a “block,” which the cryptocurrency miner digitally verifies to assure the validity of all transactions. The miner computes a “cryptographic hash,” a computerized method to ensure the block’s validity and prevent invalid block construction. Blocks are accumulated and accounted for in the blockchain, functioning as digital ledgers. Miners are rewarded for their transactions with a set amount of cryptocurrency.
