Miners is at first perhaps only someone with a home computer. But this time, in early 2014, bitcoin mining process is done through a device that is specifically designed and carried out collectively (called nodes).

Every 10 minutes, the system will bitcoin bitcoin confers a number of units (25, for example) on one node miners.

Mined amount per 10 minutes will go down over time, until exhausted in approximately the year 2140. With the total amount that can be mined bitcoin as many as 21 million units.

Nakamoto since the beginning of designing bitcoin as a decentralized system. In contrast with conventional money, no one institution can make policies that affect the value of the currency. While conventional currencies always have a central authority.

Bitcoin was, especially in the early days, so an alternative for those who do not like to trust the government, central bank, or a third-party institution to maintain the value of the currency and ensure the user transaction.

In Bitcoin, it was replaced with the use of mathematical and cryptographic calculations.

Each transaction in the bitcoin will be tested through a cryptographic system that spread over peer-to-peer. It is estimated there are tens of thousands of systems participating in this test.

Bitcoin is not free from theft. However, every bitcoin is stolen will remain recorded in the system so that when used to transact any, in theory, will always be tracked.
