Terms & Concepts
  • Solo mining: Mining Bitcoin independently rather than through a pool, meaning one miner keeps the full reward but faces very low odds of finding a block.
  • Block reward: The payment given to a miner who successfully adds a new block to the blockchain, typically made up of newly issued Bitcoin and transaction fees.
  • Bitcoin mining: The process of using computing power to validate transactions and secure the Bitcoin blockchain through proof-of-work (energy-intensive consensus method).
