I can't say that I would recommend it, because right now, the puzzle is so hard and the network is so powerful, 但我并不建议大家这样做,因为现在随着谜题越来越难,而互联网又是如此的强大,
that if I tried to mine Bitcoin on my laptop, I probably wouldn't see any for about two million years.  我曾经试过用我自己的电脑挖取比特币,但我想我要在两百万年后才能挖到一个比特币。
The miners, professional miners, use this special hardware that's designed to solve the puzzle really fast. 特殊的硬件被设计出来,以满足专业的“矿工”需求,因为它们可以提供非常快的计算能力。
