متن کاملBitcoin Mining as a Contest
This paper presents a simple game theoretic framework, assuming complete information, to model Bitcoin mining activity. It does so by formalizing the activity as an all-pay contest: a competition where participants contend with each other to win a prize by investing in computational power, and victory is probabilistic. With at least two active miners, the unique pure strategy Nash equilibrium o...
متن کاملGame-Theoretic Analysis of DDoS Attacks Against Bitcoin Mining Pools
One of the unique features of the digital currency Bitcoin is that new cash is introduced by so-called miners carrying out resourceintensive proof-of-work operations. To increase their chances of obtaining freshly minted bitcoins, miners typically join pools to collaborate on the computations. However, intense competition among mining pools has recently manifested in two ways. Miners may invest...
متن کاملBitcoin Mining Pools: A Cooperative Game Theoretic Analysis
Bitcoin is an innovative decentralized cryptocurrency whose core security relies on a “proof of work” procedure, which requires network participants to repeatedly compute hashes on inputs from a large search space. Finding one of the rare inputs that generates an extremely low hash value is considered a successful attempt, allowing miners to approve new transactions and, in return, to collect r...
