A person who works in a mine, extracting coal, minerals, or other materials from underground; in computing, a person or system that mines cryptocurrency or data.
Origin
From mine (a tunnel or excavation for extracting minerals, from Old French miner, to dig, possibly from Gaulish *mina, ore) + the agent suffix -er. The mine root possibly deriving from Celtic *meina (ore) or Gaulish *mina. Mining as an industry is ancient — evidence of copper mining in Cyprus dating to 3000 BCE, and coal mining in Britain from Roman times. The industrial-scale coal mining that defined the miner as a major British social figure developed primarily during the 18th and 19th centuries with the industrial revolution.
