Effect of Miner Incentive on the Confirmation Time of Bitcoin Transactions [article]

Befekadu G. Gebraselase, Bjarne E. Helvik, Yuming Jiang
2021 arXiv   pre-print
The analysis shows that smaller fee transactions exhibit higher waiting times, even with increasing the block size. Moreover, the miner transaction selection strategy impacts the final gain.  ...  The backlog's arrival follows an inhomogeneous Poison process to the system that has infinite buffer capacity, and the service time is distributed exponentially, which removes N transactions at time.  ...  Unlike the fee per byte case, when transactions have a very high fee, they see the same average waiting time, implying the block size has a more negligible effect on the confirmation time. 90% of the time  ...

lower transaction confirmation latency, and higher resilience against incentive attacks.  ...  This allows for a more targeted punishment of offending miners and, as we show through a reinforcement learning based attack search, makes the protocol even more resilient to incentive attacks.  ...  We are aware of one recent exception, Tailstorm [12] , which improves on Bitcoin with respect to transaction confirmation latency, transaction throughput, and also resilience against incentive attacks  ...

A Survey on Security and Privacy Issues of Bitcoin

Mauro Conti, Sandeep Kumar E, Chhagan Lal, Sushmita Ruj
2018 IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials  
The security of Bitcoin heavily relies on the incentive-compatible proof-of-work (PoW) based distributed consensus pro-tocol, which is run by network nodes called miners.  ...  In exchangefor the incentive, the miners are expected to honestly maintainthe blockchain.  ...  In terms of transaction time, the worst case is where the users have to wait for 10 minutes for the first confirmation as the mining process might involve the first time miners, else the time would be  ...

Analysis of interaction between miner decision making and user action for incentive mechanism of bitcoin blockchain

Takumi Hiraide, Shoji Kasahara
2023 Frontiers in Blockchain  
In this paper, we develop a mathematical model for analyzing the interaction between miner decision making and user actions in terms of transaction fees, transaction-confirmation time, and security.  ...  The reward for a winning miner consists of transaction fee and newly issued coins, and hence the amount of newly issued coins also affects the miner decision to participate in the mining competition.  ...  Note also that the transaction-confirmation time affects the user incentive to join the blockchain service.  ...

A Note on the Workings of Bitcoin

Guan HC, Ameen Talib
2017 Journal of Business & Financial Affairs  
This increased transaction fee effectively make the reward for mining the block that the transaction is in bigger, making miners have an added incentive to race against each other to reap the additional  ...  There is thus an incentive for bitcoin miners to work quickly if they were to reap the rewards of mining.  ...

Why Buy When You Can Rent? [chapter]

Joseph Bonneau
2016 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
The Bitcoin cryptocurrency introduced a novel distributed consensus mechanism relying on economic incentives.  ...  The need for all miners to avoid short-term profits by accepting bribes further suggests a potential tragedy of the commons which has not yet been analyzed.  ...  Furthermore it would require the confirmation time would need to grow linearly with the value of the transaction.  ...

We study the economics of Bitcoin transaction fees in a simple static partial equilibrium model with the specificity that the system security is directly linked to the total computational power of miners  ...  of Bitcoin in the long-term.  ...  The blockchain is a public ledger that contains the full history of all the transactions in bitcoins ever processed. It is the role of miners to do this work of confirming and securing transactions.  ...
