Factory Reset (ASIC)

The block subsidy is the fixed reward that miners receive for successfully mining a new block on the Bitcoin network. It is composed of two parts: the block reward (which is a fixed number of Bitcoin) and any transaction fees included in the block. The block subsidy decreases over time through a process known as "halving," which happens approximately every four years.

Remote monitoring in Bitcoin mining refers to the use of software and tools that allow miners to monitor the performance, status, and health of their mining rigs from a remote location. This technology enables miners to track key metrics such as hashrate, temperature, uptime, and power consumption, without being physically present at the mining facility. Remote monitoring helps miners optimize their operations, ensure optimal performance, and address issues quickly.

Empty Block Mining is the practice of mining a Bitcoin block that contains only the coinbase transaction and no regular user transactions. Although technically valid, empty blocks are relatively uncommon and are usually mined to reduce the delay between discovering one block and beginning work on the next.

A Work Unit is a portion of mining work assigned to a miner by a mining pool. It contains all the information needed to search for a valid Proof of Work by repeatedly hashing different values. Work units allow mining pools to divide the overall mining task among thousands of participating miners.

CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) refers to the funds spent by a Bitcoin miner or mining operation on acquiring, upgrading, or maintaining physical assets such as mining hardware (ASICs or GPUs), infrastructure, and other long-term investments. These expenditures are typically one-time costs incurred to set up a mining operation and are considered as investments to improve the miner's capacity to generate revenue over time.
