"Proof-of-Work algorithm")))Miners receive two types of rewards in
return for the security provided by mining: new coins created with each
new block, and transaction fees from all the transactions included in
the block. To earn this reward, miners compete to solve a difficult
mathematical problem based on a cryptographic hash algorithm. The
new block (called the _subsidy_), and transaction fees from all the transactions included in
solution to the problem, called the Proof-of-Work, is included in the
new block and acts as proof that the miner expended significant
computing effort. The competition to solve the Proof-of-Work algorithm
