How do I get Bitcoins : Bitcoin Mining
Bitcoins are generated (or "mined") by the following process: Cryptographic puzzles are random-generated at a controlled rate by a computer program, then transmitted to a network of volunteer Bitcoin "miners."
Using an open-source software program and powerful computer processors, miners crunch insanely complex calculations to solve the cryptographic puzzles. The first miner to solve the puzzle receives 50 bitcoins (BTC)
Block halving : every 4 years (every 210,000 blocks), 28 Nov 2012 – from 50 BTC to 25 BTC per block
Naturally, the more processing power a miner has, the faster he can solve the cryptographic puzzles and the more bitcoins he can accumulate. The program will generate puzzles until 2140, when it hits a limit of 21 million bitcoins.
Technically, anyone with a computer and a download of the open-source Bitcoin software can become a miner.
However, as more miners enter the system two things happen: 1) problems get harder; and 2) processing power escalates.
