2  Other / Beginners & Help / How really does mining work? on: June 19, 2012, 04:25:57 PM
okay, call me a noob or something, but i've trying to understand the science behind this whole mining stuff these past days. From what I know, to mine for bitcoins you have to solve some math puzzle using your cpu or gpu or whatever and beat everyone else to it. This puzzle is so complex that one is solved approx. every 10 minutes. The person that solves it first wins 50 bitcoins okay? Well, what are actually these super complex puzzles you have to solve? Who gives out these puzzles? How does a computer check if it solved the puzzle?

Thank you for your answers and i apologize for my noobness (if that's a word) because I couldn't find an explanation anywhere.
