Terms & Concepts
  • Hashrate: A measure of computing power used in cryptocurrency mining, expressed in hashes per second (H/s). Higher hashrates indicate greater mining capacity.
  • J/TH (Joules per Terahash): A metric used to measure the energy efficiency of Bitcoin mining equipment, showing how much energy is consumed to produce one terahash of computing power.
  • Self-Mining: A practice where mining companies directly operate their own mining hardware instead of leasing or pooling resources, giving them direct control over output.
