    Good explanation. I am extremely bad at math, I never made it past kind of, high school algebra, and I still can’t do basic math very well, but this explained it pretty well, thank you. So, someone has to start a transaction before mining can start, if that’s how it works?

      I’m Bitcoin there is a built-in reward to keep things moving forward even if there are no transactions. Different coins do different things.
