CGMiner is an open-source software for ASIC mining, previously a standard in the mining industry.
A CPU is a central processing unit that handles general-purpose computing tasks.
Centralization occurs when control of a network or resource is concentrated in a few hands.
Chips are the semiconductor components in ASICs, crucial for mining efficiency.
Cloud mining enables users to rent hashrate from mining farms without owning physical equipment.
Computational power is the processing speed at which a device can perform calculations, often measured in hashes per second.
