Bitcoin Mining 101: The Thermodynamic Engine of Decentralized Time | Kolkata

When people talk about Bitcoin mining, they usually focus on token prices, speculative profitability, or massive hardware warehouses. This workshop intentionally strips away the financial noise to look at the underlying protocol engineering. We will unpack how a distributed network of strangers can agree on a single, chronological timeline of transactions without a central coordinator, and why physical electricity is the only mechanism that can prevent digital counterfeiting.
Led by Bitshala educators and open-source builders. We don't do market predictions or investment advice, we focus entirely on breaking down code, logic, and protocol mechanics alongside peer learners.
Deep programming experience is not required. A relentless curiosity about how open systems achieve trust is.
Come find out how a simple mathematical target coordinates thousands of independent machines to secure a global financial network without ever speaking to one another.
Bitshala is a Bitcoin-focused education initiative where we help developers, designers, and curious builders learn by doing. We run cohorts, clubs, workshops, a hackerspace, and community programs that make it easier for people to explore, contribute to, and build on Bitcoin. Our focus is on hands-on learning, proof-of-work, and growing alongside a community of people who care about open technology, design, and the future of money.
