Hashprice
Also: hash price
Hashprice is the expected daily mining revenue per unit of hashrate, usually quoted in dollars per terahash per second per day, and it rises with the bitcoin price and transaction fees and falls as network difficulty grows.

- Hashrate
- Hashrate is the number of hash attempts a miner or the whole network performs per second, quoted in terahashes (TH/s), petahashes (PH/s) or exahashes (EH/s), and it determines a miner's expected share of block rewards.
- Network difficulty
- Network difficulty is the number that sets how hard it is to find a valid Bitcoin block, adjusted every 2,016 blocks so that blocks keep arriving roughly every ten minutes as total hashrate changes.
- Break-even electricity price
- The break-even electricity price is the highest cost per kilowatt-hour at which a specific machine's daily mining revenue still covers its daily power cost, so a miner paying more than that figure loses money on every kilowatt-hour.
