  1. The mempool is a place where unconfirmed transactions wait for a miner to pick them up to add to the next block.
  2. If the miners can’t keep up with the rate then the mempool grows larger and there are longer transaction times.
    3.Transaction fees increase with a larger mempool because of the competition to get the transaction to the next block. Larger fees are offered to miners to get the transaction picked first.

1.What is the mempool?
mempool is list of unconfirmed transactions waiting to be confirmed by miners.

  1. What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
    -the mempool size increases and transaction confirmation time also increases and fees too

3.How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?

  • when mempool increases in size means there are more pending (unconfirmed) transactions in th blockchain in mempool so now the new transaction that wiill be broadcasted to the blockchain will be expensive coz there are already transections that are pending from before so if you wanna get your transaction to be send immediately you pay more money so that your transection gets pick up quickly by miner .

Homework on Mempool - Questions

  1. What is the mempool?

A mempool is a waiting area for transactions held by a full node. Until it is confirmed and put into a block.

  1. What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?

If the miners cannot keep up with the influx of transactions, they set a minimum fee for the transaction and any transactions below this threshold do not qualify and are removed from the mempool.

  1. How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?

As above, the transactions with higher fees are prioritised, lower are thrown out of the mempool, this means if you still wish to send the transaction the fee you pay will be larger.

  • What is the mempool?
    It is a location on nodes where unconfirmed transactions sit awaiting to enter a block
  • What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
    The mempool becomes filled up with lots of unconfirmed transactions and thus make the user experience on the Bitcoin network very slow.
  • How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
    Since the mempool literally becomes clogged with unconfirmed transactions, those transactions with the highest fees are collected first. This will drive the transaction fees up and if you don’t pay up your transaction sits and waits until the opportune time.

What is the mempool?

Each node has a place or a storage that all the Unconfirmed transaction stay in there till be recalled by miners to be added to the block, this place is called

mempool this storage is a temporary spot because once transaction are added to the block automatically get removed from node and gets replaced with the new ones.

  1. What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?**

the miners only pick the ones with the higher transaction fees once block is filled probalaly the rest get discarded or transfer to the next block or the fees goes higher.

  1. How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?**

Higher fees will be applied

The memory pool (mempool) is a list/pool of unconfirmed transactions, found in full nodes.

If miners can’t keep up with confirming unconfirmed transactions, the “waiting room” continues to fill up. Causing longer waits and possibly higher fees for transaction confirmation.

The larger the mempool, the more likely it is you’ll wait for a confirmed transaction that is paying
a lower fee in comparison to other waiting transactions.

  1. What is the mempool?

The mempool is where unconfirmed transactions are before they get confirmed and added to the blockchain.

  1. What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?

If mining is slower than the rate of new transactions, the mempool gets bigger. This means that transactions take longer and that they will require a higher transaction fee if you want your transaction to confirm faster.

  1. How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?

A growing mempool means that transaction fees grow higher, as more and more unconfirmed transactions compete for limited block space. Miners, being financially incentivized, will naturally take the transactions offering the higher fees to add to the blockchain.

  2. if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction then the mempool will grow larger in size.
    3.if there a growing in size that means there is growing of unconfirmed transactions and this leads to the competition to get the transaction to the next block which then leads rising in the fee.

1 a list of unconfirmed pending transactions
2 mempool will get larger and das crowded and times of transaction confirmation will increase
3 a growing mempool will encourage miners to pick the transactions with the biggest fees and in return this will encourage higher fees
