Homework on Mempool - Questions

1 Its a “waiting room” where the unconfirmed transactions are until processed by miners, before they form part of the block.

2 Usually when mempool is “full” takes longer to make the confirmation of the transactions.

3 The higher the price of the commission for the miners would make higher the probability of being quickly chosen to process the transaction.

  1. Mempool is the list of all unconfirmed transactions. The data base of pending TX which are to be picked up by the miners for confirmation, to be build into the next block(hard drive space) and appended to the blockchain.
  2. If the miners can not keep up with rate of transaction the Meempool grows larger, more unconfirmed TX pending in the data base to be added to the blockchain, longer transaction times and higher TX fees.
  3. A growing Mempool increases transaction fees because allows miners which are financially incentivised to pick first those transactions that offer them higher fee for appending to the block. When the actual return in Satoshi per byte used for adding the transaction onto the blockchain is higher the transaction will be quicker out of the Mempool. Miners can choose first to mine through the higher bids TX and then downwards to the lower TX fees.

1- Mempool=a node’s list of confirmed transactions
2- Then the mempool grows larger & there are larger transaction times
3- Transaction fees increase with larger pools because fees increase to attract miners to pick the transaction first in the face of longer transaction times

  1. The mempool is the list of pending transactions that make logical sense but have not been confirmed yet.

  2. If the miners can’t keep up with the rate of new transactions then the mempool will increase in size.

  3. An enlarged mempool will result in an increase in transaction fees.

1 Where all the transactions are waiting to be confirmed from miners.
2 Transactions needs more time, and therefore the mempool get bigger.
3 It’s always the same old simple rule: as the demand increases, the price increases. If the number of miners is the same, more are the transactions, more is the time needed, and more is the “gas” to be payed!

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.

    The mempool is the list of unconfirmed transactions

  2. What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
    The mempool will get larger.

  3. How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
    Supply/demand dictates that the cost of each transaction will go up in relation to the time it takes to be added to a block as the miners will take the transactions with a higher fee first.

  1. What is the mempool?
    Mempool is unconfirmed transactions’ database

  2. What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
    Mempool is growing in size

  3. How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
    Transaction fees are increasing since the size of the mempool in terms of quantity of unconfirmed transactions waiting their turn to be put in a new block pushes the size of the data to be processed by miners, and the bigger the size - the higher the miners’ fees

  1. A mempool is a Pool of unconfirmed transactions

  2. The number of unconfirmed transactions will increase along with fees.

  3. A bigger mempool increases the demand for transactions resulting in higher fees. Miners can cherry pick the transactions with the largest bit size in order to generate a higher fee.

Homework on Mempool.

  1. What is the mempool?
  2. What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
  3. How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?

Answers:

1/ Mempool is a place where all unconfirmed transactions wait for the Miners to process the transaction.

2/ If the Miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new TX accumulated in the Mempool
then the highest fees will be taken first , if your TX has lower fees then it will takes more time to be picked by a miner and confirmed your transaction. It creates a fee market essentially, creating more demand as well for miners.

3/ The miners will most probably choose first the transactions which has higher fees.

  1. What is the mempool?

The mempool represents the database for transactions yet to be validated by the miners.

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

Transactions with highest fees will be prioritized. An overload in the mempool will lead to slower transaction times. Also, it means that there is a need for more miners, and it is a strong indicator that BTC is pumping.

  1. How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?

Miner’s incentive is to earn money through validating transactions. Therefore, miners will prioritize transactions with high fees.

The mempool is a list of unconfirmed transactions.

When miners can’t keep up with the rate of new transactions, they will prioritize transactions with the highest fee. This means miners will choose transactions that make them the most money.

A growing mempool means the average fee price per block will rise. This is because during a flood of transactions, miners will choose to confirm transactions with the highest fees.

  1. The mempool is a data structure which is present on every node in the network and which stores all unconfirmed transactions. When a wallet broadcasts a transaction, once it is validated by the receiving node it gets added to that node’s mempool (and then broadcasted further). Transactions get removed from the mempool as soon as they are added to blocks.

  2. The mempool gets bigger and the waiting time to get transactions added to the blockchain increases.

  3. Transaction fees increase when the mempool grows larger and the transactions get prioritized based on the highest fees.

  1. An unorganized queue of pending transactions waiting to get picked by a miner to be added to the blockchain.

  2. The target will increase/difficulty will decrease to accomodate and maintain a 10 minute processing time of adding new blocks.

  3. As more transactions must get processed in a finite time scale, a growing mempool would increase fees across the board.

A mempool is a node data structure of a list of unconfirmed transactions waiting to be mined into a block to be added to the chain by miners.

If miners can’t keep up with the rate of new transactions, the creation of the blockchain is slowed down. Miners will choose the lowest byte transactions to include in their block.

A growing mempool affects the transactions fees in that the higher fees are mined first. The miners receive the transaction fees, therefore, they want to maximize their profits.
