Where do the numbera 900 and 6 come from? The payout for finding a new block is currently 6.25 BTC + fees from that block's transactions. All of it goes to the mimer.

What I mean by that is if I want to then purchase one of these new BTCs, with whom am I exchanging funds for my BTC as they are not yet "owned" by a single person - who is the "owner" until that first transaction occurs?
