Miners Special nodes on the network that validate transactions and add it to the network Compete for confirming the transaction The first to confirm it and add it to the block gets the reward
Miners Tasks: Validate by checking the blockchain if B has enough money to send to D Try to guess a key for adding the new transaction to the blockchain Once win, broadcast it to the network Other miners will stop try to validate it and try to validate a new block
Summary BlockChain NOT Equal Cryptocurrency Based on Distributed Open Ledger Miners compete each other for validate transactions and add them to the network Miners that win the competition get a reward
