I was looking through steemed.com and noticed on someone's account it says that user "found a pow" what does this mean? It doesn't make sense to me.

Pow would be short for proof of work I believe..... The miners

Oh I see thanks. That was kind of a dumb question haha.

This is when that person is mining for Steem, first they need to find a block and then they are moved in the witness queue in order to produce a block when their turn comes and then get rewarded for it.

Thanks I know nothing about mining.
