  Hey folks, I've been looking into crypto mining lately and keep hearing the term "hashrate." I get that it's important, but I'm still not totally sure what it measures or why it matters. Can anyone explain?

  Yeah, hashrate is a big deal if you're into mining. It basically measures how many calculations a mining rig can perform per second-higher hashrate means more power to solve blocks and earn rewards. It also reflects how secure a blockchain is, since more hashing power makes attacks harder. If you want a simple, no-fluff breakdown, check out this post on what is hashrate https://paybis.com/blog/glossary/what-is-hash-rate/ . It helped me make sense of it all when I was starting out.
