Mining

Updated: 10/11/2021 by Computer Hope

A mining may refer to any of the following:

1. When describing data, mining is short for data mining.

2. With cryptocurrency, mining describes creating a coin using PoW (Proof-of-Work). Once work is verified, the user is given a coin.

Note

Mining a coin is not the same as minting a coin.
