Cryptocurrency mining is done by specialized computer, also known as mining rigs or nodes, confirms blockchain transactions for a particular cryptocoin and, in turn, gets some reward for their computational effort. 

 

The Ethereum incentives that miner receive motivates the miners to contribute to the main purpose of mining: to monitor and legitimize Ethereum transactions, checking their validity. Because a lot of users all over the world take part in this activities, Ethereum is a “decentralized” cryptocurrency, one that does not rely on any central authority like a government or central bank to oversee its activities.

CLOUD MINING

 

cloud mining requires you to pay someone else to mine for you. Instead of running and owning mining hardware yourself, you rent a third party computing power and let them do the work for you. In return, you will receive the mining rewards. Take note: cloud mining is risky and it requires in the counterparty.
