Homework on Mempool - Questions

  1. What is the mempool?
    A data structure which lists all unconfirmed transactions.

  2. What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
    The size of the mempool grows. Transactions with higher fees paid to miners will be confirmed first. Transactions with lower fees will take longer to confirm.

  3. How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
    Transaction fees increase as competition to be confirmed first grows. If transactions are taking longer to confirm because of a large mempool, many people will be willing to pay higher fees in order to increase the speed of confirmation.

  1. A mempool is place where an accepted transaction awaits to be mined (included to a block by the miners)
  2. The mempool grows and it takes longer for a transaction to be confirmed
  3. If the mempool is too big the fees are bigger. The miners pick the transaction with a bigger fee first

  1. The mempool is a list of all transactions that are currently unconfirmed.
  2. If the miner’s can’t keep up with the increasing rate of transactions, then transaction times will increase.
  3. If the mempool grows, the transaction fees will also increase, because the person that pays the highest fees will get the priority.

The mempool is where pending transactions are grouped on a blockchain node which is then broadcast across the network to other nodes and miners so they can be confirmed into a new block.

The average time for a transaction confirmation will grow longer and nodes will place priority over what can fit in their mempool.

When a nodes mempool is reaching capacity a minimum transaction fee per transaction will be set for transactions to enter the mempool.

  1. What is the mempool?
    • List of unconfirmed transactions
    • Miners will pick Tx with the highest fees and put as many as possible into the latest block
      • Once a miner appends a block of Tx to the blockchain the Tx then become confirmed and leave the mempool
  2. What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
    • The difficulty adjustment will go down requiring less processing power to mine a block helping miners to clear excess Tx from the mempool
  3. How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
    • Higher fees will be required to process Tx as the miners have large numbers of Tx to select from and will prioritise the ones with the greatest fee allocation

  2. The transactions will be held in a mempool.

  1. The mempool is where transactions go to by the nodes that verify them before miners pick it up and places it into a block.

  2. if miners cannot keep up with the rates the mempool backlog builds until there is a “traffic jam” in which transactions take longer time to get approved.

  3. A growing mempool means that transactions fees will rise with it.

  1. The mempool is a location on each and every node where it stores the unconfirmed but logical transactions until a miner puts them in the blockchain.

  2. The mempool will get larger and it will prioritize transactions with higher fee.

  3. If the mempool grows larger, a higher transaction fee will ensure your transaction will be handled first.

  1. What is the mempool?
    Ans : list of all valid transaction from node , where waiting to send in to the miners
  2. What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
    Ans : grows in size
  3. How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
    when the mempool grows the transaction fee increases automatically to proceed the transaction fast ASAP to send into next block

The Mempool is a place for a node to store Unconfirmed Transaction until miners confirm them. The miners take the Tx’s from the mempool to confirm them and create a block in the blockchain.

The mempool grows with more pending unconfirmed tx and and it simply takes more time.

The Fee increase because the mempool gets crowded by unconfirmed tx and the miners are incentives so when the mempool gets bigger there are more bytes, so the fee increase and it leads to a faster confirmed tx to the new block.

  1. What is the mempool?
    Answer: the mempool is the amount of unverified trasactions on the nodes.
  2. What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
    Answer: The transaction time and the mempool will increase eventually (One Block is mined every 10min)
  3. How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
    Answer: They will pick the most valuable transactions ( fees that some one is Ok with to pay which equates to Satoshis/per byte) and buddle those first to put on the blockchain.

  1. A Mempool is a list of unconfirmed transactions waiting for a miner to pick them up to add to the next block.

  2. If miners can’t keep up with the rate of new transactions then a mempool backlog builds and keeps growing larger while also causing there to be longer transaction times and higher transaction fees.

  3. The growing mempool effects transactions fees by causing transaction fees to go up – larger fees are offered due to the competition of people paying a higher fee to get the transaction to the next block.
