Mining is the process of spending computing power to process transactions, secure the network, and keep everyone in the system synchronized together.
It can be perceived like the Bitcoin data center except that it has been designed to be fully decentralized with miners operating in all countries
and no individual having control over the network. This process is referred to as "mining" as an analogy to gold mining because it is also a temporary
mechanism used to issue new coins. Unlike gold mining, however, crypto-coin mining provides a reward in exchange for useful services required to operate
a secure payment network.
