Terms & Concepts
  • Mining Difficulty: A measure of how difficult it is to find a new block in the Bitcoin blockchain, adjusted periodically to ensure blocks are produced at a consistent rate.
  • Hash Rate: The total computational power used by miners to process transactions and secure the network, measured in hashes per second.
  • EH/s: Exahashes per second, a unit of measurement for hash rate, where one exahash equals one quintillion hashes.
