| - | A **Miner Node** on creates blocks in the blockchain which the nodes keep. Basically, the miner works on transactions by coming up with the best combination (hash) to store that information. In [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:b:bitcoin|Bitcoin]], Miners spend about 10 minutes working on a problem, but nodes keep that result forever after in the database and verify it with others. Miners don't need to know about prior blocks (except for the prior one) with very few exceptions. | + | A **Miner Node** on creates blocks in the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:b:blockchain|blockchain]] which the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:n:node|nodes]] keep.
