Here is a thought for you guys. If miners mined Bitcoins, then every Bitcoin would have a unique identification number - true or false?
With my newbie knowledge I think that is false. Only the mined blocks and the transactions on the blockchain
have there own unique identification numbers and not each single bitcoin inside the block.
Your statement is true, and that is why I prefaced my sentence with the word 'if' . My point was that individual Bitcoins are not mined, but if they were, then they would need individual identifiers. Banknotes are an example of this, although they are printed rather than mined.
