Disintermediation of Inter-Blockchain Transactions
Different versions of peer-to-peer electronic cash exist as data represented by separate blockchains. Payments between such systems cannot be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Bitcoin provided part of the solution but its utility is limited to intra-blockchain transactions. The benefits are lost if a trusted third party is required to execute...
متن کاملExplorer Blockchain Mining
We study the strategic considerations of miners participating in the bitcoin’s protocol. We formulate and study the stochastic game that underlies these strategic considerations. The miners collectively build a tree of blocks, and they are paid when they create (mine) a node which will end up in the path of the tree that is adopted by all. Since the miners can hide newly mined nodes, they play ...
متن کاملIncentivizing Blockchain Forks via Whale Transactions
Bitcoin’s core innovation is its solution to double-spending, called Nakamoto consensus. This mechanism provides a probabilistic guarantee that transactions will not be reversed once they are sufficiently deep in the blockchain, assuming an attacker controls a bounded fraction of mining power in the network. We show, however, that when miners are rational this guarantee can be undermined by a w...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Acceptance Policies For Blockchain Transactions
The standard acceptance policy for a cryptocurrency transaction at most exchanges is to wait until the transaction is placed in the blockchain and followed by a certain number of blocks. However, as noted by Sompolinsky and Zohar [16], the amount of time for blocks to arrive should also be taken into account as it affects the probability of double spending. Specifically, they propose a dynamic ...
متن کاملBlindly Signed Contracts: Anonymous On-Blockchain and Off-Blockchain Bitcoin Transactions
Although Bitcoin is often perceived to be an anonymous currency, research has shown that a user’s Bitcoin transactions can be linked to compromise the user’s anonymity. We present solutions to the anonymity problem for both transactions on Bitcoin’s blockchain and off the blockchain (in so called micropayment channel networks). We use an untrusted third party to issue anonymous vouchers which u...
