As a keen observer of the cryptocurrency landscape, I'm curious to understand the fundamental workings behind the technology that drives Bitcoin. Could you elaborate on how Bitcoin transactions are recorded in a blockchain? Specifically, I'm interested in the process of how a transaction is initiated, verified, and then permanently recorded onto the blockchain. Are there any specific cryptographic mechanisms involved in ensuring the integrity and security of these records? Additionally, I'm wondering about the role miners play in this process and how they contribute to the maintenance of the blockchain. Your insights would be invaluable in helping me grasp the intricacies of this revolutionary technology.
