What is Cryptocurrency and what is Mining Cryptocurrency ?

What is Cryptocurrency and what is Mining Cryptocurrency ? Why are GPU used to mine ? Can someone explain it in simple terms ?
Crypto currency is a digital currency whose value is decided by the popularity of that type of currency. Most popular is Bitcoin.

This is how a Bitcoin transaction occurs.
Frst we need to initiate a transaction, this is done by using a Bitcoin wallet or the I'd used in Bitcoin. When the transaction is initiated we need to verify some things like

1) Does the porson owe the id and how much is the balance.
2) Is this transaction valid.

For this, a large mathematical calculation is given to all miners or mining pool, 1st miner or pool to be successful in solving the problem will be given the lotry of verifying this transaction.

When this traction is verified, Bitcoin transfer takes place and some part of Bitcoin is given to miner as a reward.

Miner has very huge importance in Bitcoin mining, each miner has to keep the record of all the traction ever taken place in Bitcoin history and this mathematical calculation given to a miner is very complex and the complexity depends on the overall strength of all miners. This is to keep this transaction genuine and keep this lotry system working.

People started mining using CPU but after sometime people developed software which could use GPU. These complex calculations are not dependent on each other, this lead to the conclusion that we could use independent cores to mine and this is what we have in abundance with GPU.

So simplified....

1) Crypto currency is the real digital representation of normal currency. And its value can increase or decrease.
2)Calculation given to stress test the miner( a pool of hardware or a single person with a single or more hardware) is not dependant on each other for eg 2+4+9+5=20
We can do it with a single core and we will do 2+4+9+5 then 2+4+14 then 2+18 then 20
Or we can use 2+4+9+5 then 6+14 then 20
Here core 1 did 2+4 and core 2 did 9+5 then after those are done another core does the sum of output of both cores. As u can logically think this is faster. Thus we use GPU or specific devices which are designed to parrellel task.

If you want to know these calculations are finding prime numbers which make up a number like a system willl be given 143. Computer has to find 11*13=143 11 and 13 is the key. Like this a number like 676788377773737377377 will be given and it will be quite hard to find the number.

I hope this clears your doubt..

I'm using my phone to type so there will be typing mistakes.

That says everything!
 
  • Cryptocurrency:
It is a digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank.​

  • Cryptocurrency Mining:
Bitcoin, the most famous cryptocurrency. It’s a digital currency, and new units of currency are generated by “mining.” This is a computationally intensive task, and it requires a lot of processing power. Essentially, the computer is rewarded for solving difficult math problems. This processing power is used to verify transactions, so all that number-crunching is required for the cryptocurrency to work. In short you get rewarded for providing computing power.​

It's a form of digital currency and it is sort of anonymous type and that's why the creators of ransomware use Bitcoins to get ransom!

Cryptocurrency is a type of digital currency that is used as a medium of exchange through a computer network. Whereas, mining cryptocurrency is the process of developing new currencies while simultaneously validating existing transactions. It is used to create new coins as well as validate existing transactions.
 
I used to play on the stock market for a while. It's a great way to earn or lose some money. If you analyze the market constantly and understand what's happening with it, you'll earn an insane amount of money. However, if you are only looking to invest, it's different. You have to find the right shares to invest in and be aware of all the risks because your shares depend on almost anything that happens in the world. However, I'm much more into Forex as I think it offers you more opportunities. You can read some interesting things about it on the money tree ea. But, if you want to trade on Forex, you have to learn many things.

One of the resources that has been very useful to me is the EuroScalper from Binary Forex EA . This expert advisor (EA) has proven to be quite effective in my experience, especially for those who prefer intraday trading in currency pairs. Its ability to identify opportunities and execute trades efficiently has improved my profitability.
Furthermore, the Binary Forex EA platform offers a variety of tools and resources that can be beneficial for traders of all experience levels. However, it's always essential to conduct thorough research before committing to any trading tool or strategy and tailor it to your needs and trading style.
 
Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security. Mining involves validating transactions on the blockchain by solving complex mathematical problems, earning miners new units of the cryptocurrency as a reward for their computational efforts.
