Bitcoin Core: The Bitcoin Core is the software that holds all the information about Bitcoin’s past and also holds the algorithm to verify transactions on the blockchain.

Do All Miners Use The Same Software: No, miners are free to use any software they like but if they disagree with most of other miners, they can form their own hard fork of Bitcoin like BTC Cash, BTC SV and others.

Top Bitcoin Mining Platforms in 2025: ASIC Miners still dominate Bitcoin mining but lately there has been a rise in cloud-based mining too. Mobile-based mining nowadays is also mostly attached to a virtual machine on a cloud.
