1. Bitmain has ordered 30,000 7nm chips from TSMC, the world's largest dedicated semiconductor foundry, for the third and fourth quarters, a Weibo (China's Twitter) user revealed today, July 15.

It is said that one piece of 7nm chip is worth nearly $10,000, which means that the above order is roughly valued at $300 million. In addition, unlike the previous order, TSMC may require Bitmain to pay advance deposit with a larger percentage, and even request a full payment before production. As reported by CoinNess.com, Bitmain is planning its IPO plan in the US. Besides, the company could raise about $300 million to $500 million through the IPO, but has yet to determine the financing scale.
CoinNess.com has sought confirmation from Bitmain, but they made no comments.

Question: What is the mining hashrate?

Answer:

Hash Rate - A hash is the output of a hash function and, as it relates to Bitcoin, the Hash Rate is the speed at which a compute is completing an operation in the Bitcoin code. A higher hash rate is better when mining as it increases your opportunity of finding the next block and receiving the reward.
