Title: What are the problems the miners solve used for?
Post by: huckelberry on June 19, 2011, 04:16:53 PM


I wanted to put this in the econ forum:

What is the miners function in the bitcoin 'economy'?
Mainly, why do they get the new currency? Are they solving hashes which will later be used by the client?

Thank you.
