How do Bitcoin miners work? Can you explain the process in simple terms? I've heard that they're responsible for verifying transactions and adding new blocks to the blockchain, but I'm not entirely sure how that all fits together. Could you walk me through the steps that a miner takes to earn Bitcoin and contribute to the network's security? I'm particularly interested in understanding the role of computational power and how it relates to the mining process.
