Mining is the process of adding transaction records to Bitcoin's public ledger of past transactions (and a "mining rig" is a colloquial metaphor for a single computer system that performs the necessary computations for "mining").
This ledger of past transactions is called the blockchain as it is a chain of blocks . The block chain serves to confirm transactions to the rest of the network as having taken place.
