Video #3 anthonycinerari https://padlet.com/anthonycinerari/sdlkz8t45nsr/wish/137442419 Mining is a payment system that is used to confirm waiting transactions by including them in the statistics. It enforces an order, protects the neutrality of the network, and allows different computers on the system. To be confirmed, transactions must be packed in a block that fits very strict encrypted rules that will be verified by the network. These rules prevent previous blocks from being modified because doing so would invalidate all following blocks. Mining also creates the equivalent of a competitive lottery that prevents any individual from easily adding new blocks consecutively in the block chain.
