Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Bitcoin miners earn new bitcoin by solving proof-of-work puzzles that add blocks to the blockchain?

Yes. Two reference sources state directly that bitcoin miners compete to solve proof-of-work puzzles, and the first to solve one adds a new block and receives newly generated bitcoin as reward. Several other papers confirm the puzzle-solving and block-adding half of the claim but do not address the new-bitcoin reward.
