The Bitcoin digital currency depends for its correctness and stability on a combination of cryptography, distributed algorithms, and incentivedriven behavior. We examine Bitcoin as a consensus game and determine that it relies on separate consensus about the rules and

We consider a game in which Bitcoin miners compete for a reward of each solved puzzle in a sequence of them. We model it as a sequential game with imperfect information, in which miners have to choose whether or not to report their success. We show that the game has a

This paper is a study on Bitcoin Mining process. Bitcoin mining is the method of adding transaction records to Bitcoins community ledger of earlier period transactions or blockchain. The mining practice is used to confirm and secure transactions. This method is
The economic cost of bitcoin mining
free download
Until recently, Bitcoins were mostly a topic for computer nerds. This has changed dramatically. Nowadays, Bitcoins and other crypto currencies are widely discussed as part of general payment systems and as speculative investments. The economic literature on cryptoGrovers algorithm confers on quantum computers a quadratic advantage over classical computers for searching in an arbitrary data set, a scenario that describes Bitcoin mining . It has previously been argued that the only side effect of quantum mining would be an
A simple algorithm for automatic hopping among pools in the bitcoin mining network
free download
Herein it is proposed a simple algorithm for automatic hopping among mining pools in peer- to-peer networks using the Bitcoin protocol. The hopping ceases to occur when the best pool to be mined is found. The choice of the best pool is based on statistical data generated and
Bitcoin Mining : A Game Theoretic Analysis.

Since its inception in early 200 Bitcoin has attracted a substantial amount of users and the popularity of this decentralised virtual currency is rapidly increasing day by day. Over the years, an arms race for mining hardware has resulted with miners requiring more and more
The impact of transaction fees on bitcoin mining strategies
