I'm trying to understand the concept of hashrate, specifically what makes a hashrate effective. I want to know the criteria or standards that define an effective hashrate in the context of cryptocurrency mining.

Another significant factor influencing current hashrate is luck. Due to the probabilistic nature of mining, your hashrate may vary even if your hardware and mining conditions remain constant.
