Μοτίβο χρήσης:
[someone] works as a miner
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners often confuse "miner" with "minor". "Miner" is a job (a person who works in a mine), while "minor" usually means a person under 18 years old or something of little importance. The two words sound the same but have different spellings and meanings.

Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes think a cryptocurrency "miner" is only a person, but it can also refer to the computer or group of computers doing the work. They also sometimes confuse this with a traditional miner who works underground, because both use the word "mine." The word still sounds the same as "minor," but the meanings are very different.
