1. What is the mempool?
A mempool is a list of unconfirmed transactions in each node.

2. What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
The mempool grows larger and the transaction confirmation times increase depending on the transaction fees offered.

3. How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
The transaction fees offered increase to create a financial incentive for miners to select the unconfirmed transaction. The miner will typically select the highest transaction fee with the smallest byte to include in a block to maximize their payout.

Answers Mempool

1: What is the mempool?
A mempool is a queue of transactions which are valid and which have to be put into blocks by miners. Every node has a mempool as new transactions are propagated through the network of nodes.

2: What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
The number of transactions in the mempool increases.

3: How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
As miners prioritize the transaction with highest fees per byte, a larger amount of transactions should lead to more competition in fees per byte. If I want my transaction to get executed in time and the mempool is large at that time, I have to set a higher fee in order to get my transaction picked by a miner. So the fees should increase with an increasing mempool.

What is the mempool?

Mempool is a data structure for storing a list of unconfirmed transactions.

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

Simply the number of unconfirmed transactions increases, hence mempool increases.

How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?

Growing mempool increases the number of unconfirmed transactions. As the block size is limited, the one with the more fees will be selected. Leading to inflation in transaction fees.

  1. The mempool or memory pool is a waiting area where unconfirmed transactions are stored. The UTXO wait until a miner confirms them to put them into the block.

  2. If miners can not keep up with the rate of new transactions this creates a backlog.

  3. Miners have the option of dealing with transactions that have the higher fees. Higher fees would occur as the competition to get the transactions on the blockchain exist.

  1. Mempools are stores of unconfirmed transactions that need to be selected by a miner added to there block and put onto the chain
    2.the mempool fills with unconfirmed transactions with a possibility of higher fees if the miners cant keep up.
  2. the miners are incentivised and will select the highest fees first to make sure there block is rewarding them the most, so if the block is full, most probaly the biggest transactions will be selected first

Homework - Mempool

  1. What is the mempool?
    A Mempool is a storage space where all transactions are placed by the Node after they were validated waiting for a Miner to accept them and place them in a Block.
  2. What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
    Transactions are Void.
    Usually, the Miners Processing Power acts similar to an accordion. It Expands & Retracts. After it Expands. Processing power Increases. More Transactions are Processed. Fees Go Down. Miners Diminish Processing Power. Less Processing Power. Number of Transactions Diminishes. Fees Increase. And Visa Versa in a loop.
  3. How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
    Miners act on the Highest fees (They are a Revenue Stream Creation Incentivized Entity). Blocks are created every 10 minutes. There for in a certain time there are the same number of miners with the same amount of processing power. They can only create a fixed number of Blocks. That will drive Fees up as transactions are void. People will be willing to pay Higher fees to push forward their transactions.
