There\u2019s a lot to running a network that people from all over the world use to broadcast transactions. Those who help run this network and help validate these transactions are called \u2018miners.\u2019<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Once miners validate a transaction is legit, it gets added to the blockchain, and the transaction is pushed through. Because the blockchain database is open, these miners can see whether funds have been spent before or not. It enables them to know if the sender actually had the funds they wanted to send elsewhere.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Because it\u2019s open, and because miners keep track of all these transactions, they can also see where these funds came from. Because there are so many, there\u2019s a lot of miners required to help validate the network throughout the world. Proof-of-work allows for this to be done through cryptography and mathematical algorithms, where new unique IDs are created to label transactions\/blocks and add them to the blockchain. All are working with the same rules for validating transactions and creating new blocks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f04d511 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f04d511\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How does PoW work? Why would someone want to do this?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a471d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5a471d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">So you now know that PoW is used to secure the network and prevent double-spending. Though, because there are so many transactions at the same time, transactions are bundled into a single block, rather than creating a block for every single transaction.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Miners use computational power to bundle these transactions and create a new block. This is done through hashing, where the input of data is the single transaction, and the output of data is the new block. This is a unique block, and while inputting data was easy, it\u2019s pretty much impossible to revert this and try to tamper with the data in the block, as it\u2019s added to the blockchain and referred to in every single new block. Meaning that if someone wanted to change the data in a block, they would need to hack every block processed on the blockchain afterward.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">We won\u2019t go too much into detail here; the summary is that computational power is used to generate a unique block that holds the input data.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Miners do this because they get rewarded for doing so. Miners \u2018compete\u2019 in order to be the first to resolve a puzzle to generate a new ID for the new block that\u2019s to be added to the blockchain while also verifying the transactions.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The first transaction in a block is called the coinbase transaction. This is where the miner may reward himself by printing new Bitcoins (a fixed amount) and charge transaction fees. This reward is not fixed until other miners take up the block, so the block will have to meet all the rules. Miners will make blocks on the longest chain (most difficulty, not most blocks) because this chain is the safest. Since you have little chance of being the first to find a block each time, it\u2019s smart to play by the rules here. You might put years of work into mining, and then if other miners do not accept your block, all your work has been for nothing.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">To confidently launch a good attack on this network, you must be able to mine more blocks than the rest of the network combined in order to deceive honest miners. This is known as a 51% attack. Thanks to this feature, the network is safe, provided at least 50% of the hash power comes from honest players. Because there are currently so many miners powering, for example, the Bitcoin network, it\u2019s become (almost) impossible to ever hack this.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7df50bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7df50bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What are the pros and disadvantages of Proof-of-Work (PoW)?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-e6dca52 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e6dca52\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-af8ede3\" data-id=\"af8ede3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd47f30 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cd47f30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Pros<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab5fe19 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ab5fe19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li class=\"li1\">It has a proven track record and has been working for years<\/li><li class=\"li1\">It\u2019s a reliable system<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-acfa639\" data-id=\"acfa639\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ceaa0d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ceaa0d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cons<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c0a57f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9c0a57f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li class=\"li1\">It\u2019s relatively slow for transactions to be approved.<\/li><li class=\"li1\">It consumes a lot of energy<\/li><li class=\"li1\">It\u2019s very environmental unfriendly compared to other solutions<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7ee1d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d7ee1d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Examples of cryptocurrency that use PoW<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-875ccf0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"875ccf0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"ul1\"><li class=\"li1\"><a href=\"\/bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bitcoin<\/a>\u00a0(BTC)<\/li><li class=\"li1\">Litecoin (LTC)<\/li><li class=\"li1\">Monero (XMR)<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn more about cryptocurrrencies Trade Crypto Table of Contents What is proof of work?&nbsp; Proof-of-work is a&nbsp;consensus algorithm&nbsp;used by most&nbsp;blockchain&nbsp;networks in order to prevent double-spending.
