• Abstract: The security of blockchain systems based on Proof of Work relies on mining. However, mining suffers from unstable revenue, prompting many miners to form cooperative mining pools. Most existing mining pools operate in a centralized manner, which undermines the decentralization principle of blockchain. Distributed mining pools offer a practical solution to this problem. Well-known examples include P2Pool and SmartPool. However, P2Pool encounters scalability and security issues in its early stages. Similarly, SmartPool is not budget-balanced and imposes fees due to its heavy use of the smart contract. In this research, we present a distributed mining pool named FiberPool to address these challenges. FiberPool integrates a smart contract on the main chain, a storage chain for sharing data necessary for share verification, and a child chain to reduce fees associated with using and withdrawing block rewards. We validate the mining fairness, budget balance, reward stability, and incentive compatibility of the payment scheme FiberPool Proportional adopted by FiberPool.

  As Bitcoin experiences more halving events, the protocol reward converges to zero, making transaction fees the primary source of miner rewards. Previous security analyses of Bitcoin have either considered a fixed block reward model or a highly simplified volatile model. This paper presents a reinforcement learning-based tool to develop mining strategies under a more realistic volatile model.

  A key factor affecting mining rewards earned is the connectivity between miners in the peer-to-peer network. We formulate the problem of deciding whom to connect to for miners as a bandit problem. A key contribution of our work is the use of network coordinates based model for learning the network structure within the bandit algorithm.

  In most popular public accessible cryptocurrency systems, the mining pool plays a key role because mining cryptocurrency with the mining pool turns the non-profitable situation into profitable for individual miners. In many recent novel blockchain consensuses, the deep learning training procedure becomes the task for miners to prove their workload. While the incentive of miners is to earn tokens, individual miners are motivated to join mining pools to become more competitive.
