Like fiat currencies, securely storing funds can be as simple as storing some coins in your pocket or highly complex with multiple banks’ safety deposit boxes. For self-custodial wallets, all of this is in the users’ hands, although wallet software ideally provides guidelines and support to more easily follow best practices.

Bitcoin [mining]({{ '/guide/getting-started/technology-primer/#how-is-the-blockchain-secured' | relative_url }}) is the act of confirming transactions by solving a computationally intense problem, which is rewarded via freshly minted bitcoin and transaction fees.

Mining has become primarily a professional undertaking with dedicated software to manage racks of [mining hardware]({{ '/guide/getting-started/hardware/#mining-hardware' | relative_url }}). However, some wallets still offer mining features, and there are also cloud mining providers that allow customers to rent mining capacity.

Natively digital money can also be extended in previously unthinkable ways. From smart contracts to Layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network that enable faster and cheaper payments, Bitcoin can get built upon to enable new and evolving use cases.

To send a payment on the Bitcoin blockchain, the sender needs to obtain an address from the recipient. Since Bitcoin [addresses]({{ '/guide/glossary/address' | relative_url }}) are long and seemingly random, they are best shared by copying and pasting in plain text, as a [payment link]({{ '/guide/designing-products/wallet-interoperability/#payment-links' | relative_url }}), or as a scannable [QR Code]({{ '/guide/designing-products/wallet-interoperability/#qr-codes' | relative_url }}).

The receiver does this by generating a new address in their wallet application, then sharing it with the sender. If the sender and receiver are physically close to each other, scanning the receiver's address as a QR Code will be easy. Still, if they are not, they can send the address as text in any regular communication tool like email, SMS, etc.

Not every miner creates the new block with the same transactions, so some nodes may have a different version of the blockchain than others for a short time. The Bitcoin protocol's main function is to bring all nodes to the same version of the blockchain. Through a process called chain reorganization, nodes remove their incorrect block and update with the winning block as determined by the majority of other nodes.
