An FPGA is a flexible computing device used for mining different algorithms, albeit less efficient than ASICs.
FPPS compensates miners based on their contribution to mining pool activities, including transaction fees and block rewards.
Financing rate is the annual interest miners pay for equipmentor operational loans.
Firmware is software embedded in hardware devices to enhance functionality.
Custom firmware developed by third parties to unlock advanced features or optimize ASIC performance beyond the manufacturer's default settings.
