More important, Nakamoto built the system to make the blocks themselves more difficult to mine as more computer power flows into the network. That is, as more miners join, or as existing miners buy more servers, or as the servers themselves get faster, the bitcoin network automatically adjusts the solution criteria so that finding those passwords requires proportionately more random guesses, and thus more computing power. These adjustments occur every 10 to 14 days, and are programmed to ensure that bitcoin blocks are mined no faster than one roughly every 10 minutes. The presumed rationale is that by forcing miners to commit more computing power, Nakamoto was making miners more invested in the long-term survival of the network.
A Bitcoin mining business’ profitability is directly tied to the value of Bitcoin and cost of electricity. When Bitcoin was trading above $20,000 per Bitcoin, this business was highly profitable. As the value of Bitcoin has diminished, so has profitability.

Groups of recorded transactions are gathered in blocks and then added onto the Bitcoin blockchain.
RPCMiner is far easier to run – you simply click an icon and enter some data – and both have very rudimentary, text-based interfaces. Running Diablo on my iMac has not had much effect on application performance under OS X although it does slow down my Windows 8 machine considerably.
3. The reward is to be paid to the miners address - the public key. Is there a field within the mining script where the miner can hard-code the address or is the address gotten from the gui application? How is the address derived?

“The current state of our climate demands action on cryptocurrency mining,” said Liz Moran of Earthjustice. “We are jeopardizing the state’s abilities to meet our climate goals, and we set the stage for the rest of the country as a result.”
