Measures the difficulty of mining a new block. The more miners on a network, thehigher the network hashrate. As the hashrate increases over time, the difficultyadjusts accordingly. When difficulty rises, itbecomes harder to mine new blocks usingthe same equipment. Conversely blocksbecome easier to mine when difficulty goes down.

Amount of new coins awarded to miners after successfully mining a block. The block reward represents the steady supply of new BTC generated per block. Smaller block rewards Lower the number of coins miners get for solving each block. However, increasing coin prices may

compensate for smaller block rewards.

The most important mining expense is electricity. The lower your power consumption, the more profitable.

When you host your mining equipment with us, other expense include infrastructure costs, management fees,

PCB, controllers, ethernet ports, power supply, fans, enclosures, shelving and insurance.

Funds spent upfront on mining equipment. The higher a miner’s hashrate and the lower its power consumption, the more profitable.
