Bitcoin Mining Pools
• Mining solo is difficult • Combined hashingpower for greater efficiency • Paid by share • Regular payments

Bitcoin Mining hardware
• Started with central processing units (CPU) • Moved on to graphical processing units (GPU) • Todays hardware is called Applica@on-‐specific integrated circuit (ASIC) • Future hardware?
