Bitcoin creator who works underground (5)

I believe the answer is:
miner
'creator who works underground' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for miner that I've seen before include "One works underground" , "One who digs for ore" , "Burrowing insect" , "Coal worker" , "Pit worker" .)
