It starts with one kilowatt-hour. Bought in bulk, and already in your plan price.

Every hash is a lottery ticket. A winner needs 19 leading zeros.

How Bitcoin mining works
Don't take our word for how mining works. Do it.
Every miner on Earth runs the same calculation: hash an 80-byte block header twice with SHA-256, check whether the result starts with enough zeros, change one number, repeat. This is the real thing, running in your browser.
A · Verify
Check the latest block yourself
This is the actual 80-byte header of block #975,105. Hash it and you get the block's ID. The zeros at the front are the proof of work.

✓Computed in your browser: 20 leading zeros. The network needs at least 19, so the block is valid.
B · Try
Now try to mine the next one
Same header format, built on the real previous block and current difficulty, with your browser trying nonces. It runs for 15 seconds, stays on your device and isn't connected to any pool.

C · Scale
Why nobody mines alone
Log scale: each step along the bar is 10× more hashing.
Press start above to measure your device. For scale: a single S21 XP mining alone would find a block about once every 75 years. That's why miners pool their hashrate and split the rewards.
