Could you elaborate on the workings of a Bitcoin mining rig? I'm particularly interested in understanding the hardware components, the mining process itself, and how the rig contributes to the overall Bitcoin network. Could you explain in a simplified manner the hashing algorithm and how it secures the blockchain? Additionally, I'd like to know about the profitability of mining and any challenges or limitations miners might face. Lastly, could you discuss the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining and any potential solutions to mitigate it?
