Mining
<tromp_>
or a way to sell a piece of (transaction) history to the highest computational bidder
<JackH>
Bitcoin mining is the process of making computer hardware do mathematical calculations for the Bitcoin network to confirm transactions and increase security. As a reward for their services, Bitcoin miners can collect transaction fees for the transactions they confirm, along with newly created bitcoins. Mining is a specialized and competitive market where the rewards are divided up according to how much calculation is done. Not all Bit
<JackH>
coin users do Bitcoin mining, and it is not an easy way to make money.

<tromp_>
oh wait. it's not a wiki. who runs this website?
<JackH>
the wiki is alright, but vague
<JackH>
we still miss the 3-4 punchlines of what miners actually do
<harding>
JachH: Mining is the process of placing valid Bitcoin transaction in logical order so that the blockchain can be parsed sequencially, as well as the process of protecting each block with accumlatable proof of work so that changing that block also requires changing all of that block's descendents.

That could probably use some improvement, but is it generally what you're looking for?
CubicEarth has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<harding>
Mining is the process of ordering valid Bitcoin transactions and chaining groups (blocks) of them together using hash-based references, merkle trees, and proof of work so that a blockchain can be parsed
<harding>
sequencially and compared to other blockchains based on the total amount of work expended in generating each chain, allowing individual software to independently come to agreement that the chain of valid blocks

containing the most work is the current record of transaction history.
