Title: What happens when all Bitcoins have been mined?
Post by: bitcoinhost on November 22, 2013, 10:10:50 AM
Bitcoin miners help with processing transactions for bitcoin,  but what happens when all the miners are no longer mining since all bitcoins are discovered?

Who and what will assist the ongoing need for processing power?

This question is asked so often that more computing power is used on the question than all coins mined to date.

There is even a thread on the main page asking the same thing.

Thanks, I looked for a while but did not see any threads.  Got one?
