Anyway, here’s what we have learned so far. Several weeks ago, just as the Bitcoin frenzy really started to heat up, my teenage daughter Alexa expressed an interest in Bitcoin mining. I didn’t know a lot about it, but I thought it sounded like a fantastic educational opportunity (for both of us!) and a fun project to do together.Ĭryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and the underlying blockchain technology, will have far reaching impacts on the future of how people work. Bitcoin may well impact how people are paid in the future and how organizations pay each other. Bitcoin is possible because blockchain technologies provides the ability for two parties, who don’t know or trust each other, to enter into a transaction with no third-parties in between. This obviously has major implications to the financial system of today, but ultimately will impact a wide range of application areas and cloud computing architectures across industries.Īn integral part of blockchain technology is the concept of mining. Getting some hands-on experience with this seemed like a great way for Alexa and I to understand what was going on underneath the covers – and maybe make a couple bucks. Here is a quick description of what we did to get started and the results we’ve achieved so far. We are by no means experts yet, but I’ve had several people ask me for details on what we did, so I thought I’d share the experience to date. I’d call this article Cryptocurrency Mining for Dummies, but it’s not totally accurate, and the Dummies people’d probably sue us.
