Mining for Bitcoins
You can get started earning Bitcoins in a variety of ways. Mining for Bitcoin is how you earn Bitcoins by participating in the network. It’s usually handled by special mining hardware that is expensive and specialized. The equipment also needs Bitcoin mining software to connect to the blockchain and your mining pool (a collaboration of many miners jointly working together and then splitting the rewards of their efforts; see Book 6, ssss1 for more about pool mining).
Here are three standard ways to explore mining Bitcoin:
Bitcoin-QT: The Bitcoin-QT client is the original software written by Satoshi Nakamoto. You can download it at https://bitcoin.org/en/download.
CGMiner: CGMiner is one of the most popular mining software applications. It is open source and available for Windows, Linux, and iOS at www.github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.
Multiminerapp: The MultiMiner app is an easy Bitcoin client to run. You can download it at www.multiminerapp.com.
