Who is a miner in blockchain?

Question

Could someone tell me who is a miner in blockchain?

Answer 1

Blockchain is a budding technology to store information in a secure, distributed, and decentralized way. Blockchains in layman’s language is a type of database that stores information. In recent years, blockchain is extensively being used in financial transactions.

Within this technology, the act of verifying and validating financial transactions is called mining. And the group of people who collectively contribute compute resources to verify and validate these transactions to provide a safe and secure environment is called blockchain miners.

Start off by reading the Blockchain tutorial to get started.

If you plan to add blockchain as a technology in your profile, then I would recommend you to take up the Blockchain course from Intellipaat, which offers you instructor-led courses and guided projects.
