I'm wondering about the payment system for BTC miners. How do they actually get paid for their mining efforts? Is it directly through BTC transactions or some other way?

Over time, the reward amount is reduced to maintain the scarcity of bitcoins.

Roughly every four years, or every 210,000 blocks, the reward amount is halved.
