What gets confirmed
Transactions enter blocks that must satisfy network rules. Mining helps participants agree record order, rather than merely “creating coins on a computer”.
Mining helps agree transaction history in proof-of-work networks. Bitcoin is the example here; its design should not be assumed for every cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin describes mining as a computational competition. Participating does not mean each computer adds blocks on a schedule.
Ethereum no longer uses proof-of-work. Check a claimed mining service against its actual network, not merely a familiar coin name.
FinFly recommends requesting the network, verifiable work, all costs and withdrawal terms. Separate the technology from promised returns; fixed payouts are not evidence of real mining.
No. It depends on network design; Ethereum, for example, moved to proof-of-stake.
