If you look up mining on Wikipedia, you'll see that it comes from English and means "extraction" of valuable minerals. In the case of cryptocurrency, mining refers to the process of extracting digital currency. Although the term "mining" was originally used for the mining industry, such as mining for gold, it's now commonly used to describe the process of mining Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This may be because Bitcoin was often compared to gold due to its scarcity and value. However, the process of mining digital currency is fundamentally different from mining precious metals and has nothing to do with it.

Cryptocurrency based on blockchain technology, including Bitcoin, has many advantages. It is an independent method of transferring value with low commissions and fast transactions independent of any government, while cryptocurrency is easy to share to millionths without losing its value. All these statements were true until the cryptocurrency did not become so popular that in some countries it became recognized as legal tender or electronic asset. From this point on, due to the blockchain's openness of some cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and others), black lists of crypto wallet began to appear on which stolen cryptocurrency stored. Any cryptocurrency that passes through such wallets is automatically blacklisted, and then all its movements are tracked as they black list more and more crypto wallets. Cryptocurrency stored on such wallets automatically becomes outlawed and at this moment the cost of such a “dirty” cryptocurrency starts to fall sharply, because buying and cashing a dirty bitcoin or ethereum in your own name of will automatically make you at least a witness of a theft or worse yet an accomplice in a crime.

When creating a cryptocurrency wallet, you will be asked to save a list of 12 or 24 words, with which you can restore your crypto assets in case of loss or breakdown of a hardware wallet or a computer with a software crypto wallet. Usually wallet recovery is not a problem, but there are situations when you want to change your hardware wallet for your own personal reasons or because your crypto wallet that you used to use is no longer issued or updated. You might think that your 24-word seed phrase for restoring your wallet seems completely useless now. But it’s not worth panicking and screaming that everything is gone right away, because. there are certain standards for the formation of seed phrases (mnemonic phrase), which are usually followed by developers of cryptocurrency wallets. Therefore, any seed phrase can be made compatible with any crypto wallet through special transformations.
