That's the heart of Bitcoin mining right there. It's all about contributing computing power to keep the network running.

The more CPU power you provide, the more "real" you are in the Bitcoin network. You're doing work, solving puzzles, and helping confirm transactions.

It ain't about who you are or where you're from - it's what your computer can do that counts!
