The first miner to figure out a tricky hashing puzzle receives mining rewards. The likelihood that a participant will come up with the solution depends on how much of the total mining power in the network.

Bitcoin is a sovereign digital currency. It is not directly linked to any real-world currency and it is not controlled by any government. However, people can use it to buy real-world goods at major retailers like Overstock.com or Expedia.

The blockchain is the foundation of all mining. A "block" is a group of approved transactions.

This requires immense computational and electrical power.
