In this video, I discuss the differences between Bitcoin hashers and Bitcoin miners. Bitcoin miners do many different activities including:
1) Run a Bitcoin node
2) Manage a mempool
3) Validate blocks
4) Signal for protocol changes
5) Create and receive coinbase transactions
6) Choose transactions for the block template
7) Broadcast block candidates directly to the network, without an intermediary
8) Hash
Bitcoin hashers only hash-- they generate SHA-256 hashrate and usually sell it to large mining pools, though sometimes to hashrate markets. As Renaud Cuny points out, hashing is the only purely computational activity here, and it has no Bitcoin network-facing component.
Start9 (or Umbrel), Datum Gateway, Ocean, and Braiins all used together now allow any Bitcoin to mine at an industrial-strength level from home, without noise, maintenance, or having to worry about sky-high electricity costs.
Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
