mining,Mining generally refers to the process of performing certain functions for a network such as adding new records to a blockchain in exchange for mining rewards; it may also refer to other mechanisms whereby rewards (usually in the form of cryptocurrency) are provided for performing other tasks helpful to the network.
mining power,"A miner’s (or group of miners’) mining power is equal to the probability it will be selected to write a new block to the blockchain. Depending on the mechanism for mining, this is usually related to the overall share of computing power or cryptoassets the miner or miners possess relative to all miners for that blockchain."

## Stacks Authentication and deployment
When your application authenticates users with Stacks, your DApp at one URL requests a resource (an identity) from another DApp, the Blockstack Browser. A request for a resource outside of the origin (your new website) is called as a _cross-origin request_(CORs). Getting data in this manner can be risky, so you must configure your website security to allow interactions across origins.
When your application authenticates users with Stacks, the Stacks Wallet at on URL requests a resource (the app manifest) from your DApp. A request for a resource outside of the origin (the Stacks Wallet) is called as a _cross-origin request_(CORs). Getting data in this manner can be risky, so you must configure your website security to allow interactions across origins.
You can think of CORS interactions as an apartment building with Security. For example, if you need to borrow a ladder, you could ask a neighbor in your building who has one. Security would likely not have a problem with this request (that is, same-origin, your building). If you needed a particular tool, however, and you ordered it delivered from an online hardware store (that is, cross-origin, another site), Security may request identification before allowing the delivery man into the apartment building.

The way you configure CORs depends on which company you use to host your web application. The application generator adds a `cors` directory to your application scaffolding. This directory contains files for Netlify (`_headers` and `_redirects`) as well as one for Firebase (`firebase.json`). The configurations in the `cors` directory make your application's `manifest.json` file accessible to other applications (for example, to the Blockstack Browser). If you are deploying to a service other than Netlify or Firebase, you must configure CORS on that service to include the following headers when serving `manifest.json`:
