- dllthomas 12y ago"Bitcoin miners don't take anyone else's money in exchange for verifying transactions." Yes they do. Your whole point, I thought, was that they're being paid to do it. They presently take a small fraction of value from every bitcoin. They also receive any transaction fees offered by any of the transactions they are processing, but in practice those are presently (almost?) always zero.
