Need Help: Retag of [mining]

Question

What's happening?

mining has been deprecated and all questions where it appears are getting retagged.

Why?

Mining is a central topic in cryptocurrencies. It deserves more than one tag. By separating different aspects of mining into their own collections users will be able to find related content more easily.

Who?

Anyone can help! If you can't edit yourself, you can suggest edits! Each suggested edit gives you +2 reputation when accepted.

How?

1. Find any questions tagged with mining.
2. Read questions and answers to figure out what the topic is.
3. Replace mining with tags from the following list.

Bonus: Where appropriate vote, edit for quality, add answers, or flag. Questions that are edited are bumped to the front. That's a great time to fix 'em up.
