Confusion about the meaning of the word " Miner "

Recommended Posts

The word " Miner " may seem easy at first look but it can have two very different meanings. It can be used to refer to the following concepts:

 

1 - Miner can be used to refer to a device that is specifically designed for mining cryptocurrency like GPU rigs.

2 - Miner can refer to a person (human) who does the mining to earn reward.

 

I have seen people using both meanings in crypto world. So, whenever you came across this word, pay attention to its meaning in particular context.

A piece of mining software is called miner too.

 

But is there a problem with that? Context is crucial for understanding, but is that important?

Well explained. During all this years crypto mining is proved ro be profitable.I guess if you mine new coins when they are brand new and hold them and keep them under watch and sell the ones that explode, maybe 

Yes mining new coins is an profitable advice for new miners to mine those coins which value are under one dollar is the profitable .

Spell-check isn’t perfect. It doesn’t know and can’t guess what word you wanted or what word you meant, it can only judge the words on the page. If you used words that are all spelled correctly, it gives you a pass anyway.

Miner in the terms in the virtual world is a person or a machine who actually uses to solve a mathematical algorithm like problem g calculation so that the code of the block of the btc gets completed or mined & they get rewarded.

Good point but for me the miner is never a human and always a computer doing the actual processing of the algorithm. The ones getting the rewards are however the humans but I can easily see how this gets confusing for some.

It is the nodes (computers) that do the mining but they don't do it on their own. A human should control and program them to work properly and monitor them during the whole process. So, the word "miner" can be used to refer to the humans too not just the computers. I have a proof for this. When you read the news about mining and miners, you will often hear words about miner's income. When we talk about income, it is quite clear that we are referring to a human being not a computer because a computer doesn't need to earn income!

The true meaning of this word cannot be stolen because it is the right of the person who exerts effort and works on his own devices in my opinion who buys wizards and miners and works is the one who deserves the title

I usually have no confusion about these concepts. I previously had a small exploit and I discovered concepts that many people confuse. thank for your writting. Mining tools are mining aids, typically GPUs.

In order to be in the picture, the term mining is not only new or related to Bitcoin, but it is also present in earlier times, where gold and minerals were mined from the mountains.

I think you can understand the actual translation of the word by the context of the word or sentence. It is not difficult and it is not complicated. You can get used to it easily once you understand the context of the sentence.

Many people would always mistaken the use of this word sometimes tho, Miner sounds like the person doing the process work of mining while some people understands it as an equipment for doing the mining process. It sounds confusing tho, bet the correct meaning of the word "MINER' is a node that collects transactions in the network and then organises them into blocks, they as well verify bitcoin transactions.

Good topic with good explanation, yes there is some confusion about the MINER word meaning. Both human and nodes of computer are concerned or combined to do the work or the mine together. A miner meaning is like the mining or person extracts ore or other mineral using tools or machines in the real world.

Thanks, my friend, for what you mentioned. It is helpful to correct this confusion and confusion regarding the definition of the word miner. There is a distinct difference between a human miner and an automated miner. Thank you my friend.

Dear thank you for this information! I myself have been confused with the same word being used for two different purposes and I bet there are others like me. This is what we mean when we say we learn from crypto.

In addition to what you have mentioned , people with no information about crypto currencies, think about digging and workers and dirt whenever they hear the word mining, so it is important to spread the know ledge about crypto world between all people even though those ones who are working in a very far away domains that have nothing to do with crypto currencies and technologies.

    • ⚡️ Клиентам “Сбера” заблокировали карты из-за крипты   Клиенты Сбербанка столкнулись с неприятной проблемой - блокировкой карт после совершения купли-продажи криптовалют. Банк посчитал эти операции сомнительными и теперь всем заблокированным нужно подтвердить источник происхождения средств перед банком. Для подтверждения необходимо предоставить банку скриншот личного кабинета криптобиржи, адрес сайта, пользовательское имя и историю транзакций.   🔥 Ethena Labs сделают аирдроп на 750 млн токенов   2 апреля DeFi-протокол Ethena Labs проведет аирдроп 750 млн токенов управления ENA среди участников программы поощрения Shard. Общий объем монет составит 5% от эмиссии. Пользователи получат количество токенов, 1к1 к набранным в ходе Shard баллам — «шардам» — до 1 апреля. Получить активы необходимо в течение 30 дней. А невостребованные ENA в дальнейшем разделят между всеми участниками аирдропа.   💸 Пятый по величине биткоин-кошелек перевел 94 500 BTC   23 марта пятый по объему хранящихся биткоинов кошелек перевел монеты стоимостью более $6 млрд на три новых адреса. 94 500 битковена лежали без движения еще с 2019 года.

    • Сам тоже думаю не садиться в этот поезд, а то пошёл там выполнять их задания в Гелакси и только сбои да сбои, надоело там раз разом крутить кнопку проверки. Почему всё так происходит не пойму, полностью отбили мотивацию.
    • Если их машина по сжиганию будет работать отлично, то и токен будет в будущем расти из-за сокращения его огромного количества. Пока как знаю дела в этом направлении идут не плохо, но рост конечно идут за счёт Битка.
    • Да это уж многих удивило, сам тоже увы не в теме, хотя крос у меня стоил 10$, если был бы 100$, то точно зашёл бы в тему с ремонтом, а там уже каждый день за 20 дайсов мог бы получать по 0.5$ за 20 секунд.  Кстати у вас всё ещё видны ваши кеды ? Их можно ремонтировать 🤔
    • Да, типа это пользователи так сделали, что форум на дне, а ведь с самого начала нужно было понять, что на одной оплата так далеко дело не пойдёт. Нужно было с самого начала работать над качеством пользователей и жёстче бороться с ботоводами, мотивировать на создание топиков, дать возможность размещать реф ссылки во всех разделах форума, в том числе и сокращение ссылки, подключить рекламу к форуму, если так плохо дело с подписанными. И это только начало списка, где всё это можно реализовать, но нет никаких действий очень долгое время.
    • Отлично, что и у вас получилось, теперь можно будет вникать в тему, где как заметил сами их квесты много времени не отнимают, ну кроме проверки. Сделал всё, оставил на час или вообще зайдёшь завтра и уже можно минтить поинты.
