    Hello, author here. I built this to explain what Bitcoin miners are actually doing - not “solving complex equations” but repeatedly hashing block candidates in a lottery.

    The main interactive component lets you simulate mining w/ adjustable difficulty, and shows how Bitcoin’s issuance schedule is enforced regardless of hash rate growth.

    I built it with Astro. The mining simulator component runs client-side. Happy to answer any questions.
