APPENDIX
How Bitcoin Mining Works Supporting the network one block at a time Transactions pooled together in a “block”, storing up to one MB of data, and are then encrypted Completed block contains the preceding block’s hash, trans. data, and current block’s hash Miners compete to solve the unique SHA256 cryptographic - hash of a block utilizing ASICs The first miner to solve the block transmits the solution to other miners on the network Other miners verify the solution and, once consensus is reached, the new block is added to the blockchain The miner that validated the block is awarded new bitcoin and the associated transaction fees A mining facility’s revenue consists of a reward for the block mined and a transaction fee - Probability to mine the block is the ratio of the mining facility’s computing power to the power of the entire BTC network - Current block reward amounts to 6.25 BTC per block 1 - Transaction fees are BTC paid to miners for confirming transactions - Approx. 5% of miner revenue has been derived from transaction fees over the last 12 months 2 (1) The block reward is cut in half after every 210,00 blocks are mined (approx. every 4 years). The latest halving occurred in May 2020, resulting in a block reward of 6.25 BTC. In the 2024 halving, the reward will drop from 6.25 BTC per block to 3.125 BTC.
