Hay dear steemian, tonight i comeback to share you something about chemistry mining and digital mining, sorry for i few days ago, i have been absent to post on steemit because i felt a bit unwell. Tonight i will continue my post base on science explain. Do you ever hear about mining chemical ? Such as petroleum mining, gold mining, coal mining, etc ? What is resemblance with digital mining? I will explain in detail and i hope this post can to disclose people mind especially newbie of steemian.

What is The Mining Mean ?

^{Source :}^wikihow

In wikipedia has a mining has a mean;

The mining is a process to obtain material contained within the Earth.

The mining is a distillation activity or mineral extraction from material from the earth's crust, or a business activities in order to extract (digging) processing and utilization of minerals (mining). Mined materials such as mineral (gemstone), petroleum, coal, etc. Either in the element or compounds form. The chemical element is an unbreakable chemical (converted) into a smaller substance of ordinary chemical method and each element contains one atom. In some references said "the element is atom itself, an atom consists of an atomic nucleus and surrounded by electrons"

The name of chemical element used for un-synthesized element, the transuranium element (including symbols) is granted after it has been successfully synthesized and confirmed by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry). Some chemical name was given with the suffix "-ium", part of the initial name comes from Latin or Greek language. Some of chemical names are given with suffix ium, for examples of chemical element with suffix names of ium such as, Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, Nihonium, and Germanium. Both magnesium and calcium commonly found in the mineral mines.

Chemical

Chemical mining is not a foreign word that we have heard, even almost people known about chemical mines, such as petroleum, coal, and gold mining. To make reader easier to understand i give an example is Petroleum mining, petroleum mining is a process of petroleum to be a fuel, petroleum derived from fossils buried in the seabed, So the petroleum mining takes place on the seabed and offshore. it consist of hydrocarbons mixture, commonly found is alkane or paraffin. Chemically, alkanes have chemical formula C_nH_2n+2 (C = Carbon, H = Hydro n = index number). The processing gasoline from alkane group is a process of Pentane distillation into Octane, While diesel, carousel and jet fuel are the process of distillation from Nonena (C₉H20) to hexadecane.

The processing of hydrocarbons (crude oil) into gasoline, fuel or jet fuel require chemical equipment for distillation, and equipment in the mining process such as Hydraulic Fracturing to mine hydrocarbons in oil wells in the earth's crust. To place this equipment also requires location, so the company should to pay the land for location whether it rented or bought. Maybe for petroleum mining in Aceh we can see in Arun NGL or Exxon Mobile. Arun NGL has a processing area of approximately 2x5 Km. Not only petroleum mining but also all mines require a location, essentially to mine a chemical (element/compound) it requires equipment and location. Even some people judge, the mining process also damage the natural environment, for example tree felling to establish factory location.

Digital

From one side, the digital mine doesn't damage the environment and doesn't take up large locations, but it does not mean to leave chemical mines, because the vehicles can not move without fuel. The digital mine is a very trendy option for now, even many investors/miners want to mine digital currencies like Bitcoin, many miner equipment provided for Bitcoin and altcoin mining, Bitcoin only available 21 million BTC and currently reaches 15 million BTC that has been circulating in the world, according to estimation the Bitcoin will run out about 123 years ahead. Not just bitcoin, but also ethereum and litecoin are an option for miners, maybe due to expensive equipment of Bitcoin mining. Many options also for digital mining equipment, such as GPU mining, VGA Mining, ASCI mining, and Scrypt Mining. The digital coin names almost identical to chemical elements, such as ethereum, einstenium, nexium, radium etc. For the location of digital mining tool requires only a small location, or do not require a large location to place these miner tools.

Conclusion

On the one hand, digital mining and chemical mining have an equation, requiring tools such as Hydraulic Fracturing in petroleum mining and Rig/GPU Mining in digital mines (ethereum/btc), the quantity of tools also determines the mining results, it's just the digital mining can be invested with small capital and ordinary people, while for chemical mining investors require big funds. And they also have same difficult level.
