Could you elaborate on the mechanism behind rewarding bitcoins? Specifically, I'm curious about how the network ensures fair distribution of bitcoins as incentives for mining. Is it through a pre-set reward schedule, or does it vary based on certain conditions? Also, what are the main factors that determine the amount of bitcoins rewarded for each block mined? I'd appreciate a concise yet comprehensive explanation of the reward system in Bitcoin mining.
