simulate_blockchain: Simulate a blockchain

In wulingyun/BlockSim: Blockchain simulation and research tools

Description

Simulate a blockchain

Usage

simulate_blockchain(
  n,
  attack_power = 0,
  t1 = ceiling(1/3 * n),
  t2 = ceiling(2/3 * n),
  n_miners = 10000,
  block_rate = 1/600,
  block_size = 1,
  n_genesis_blocks = 1,
  burn_in = n_genesis_blocks,
  fixed_block_interval = TRUE
)

Arguments

n	the size of blockchain, i.e. the total number of blocks in the blockchain
attack_power	the percentage of attacker's computing power
t1	the first time point of attack
t2	the second time point of attack
n_miners	the number of miners
block_rate	the block genration rate (blocks per sec)
block_size	the block size (MB)
burn_in	the burn in time points, in which period all blocks are generated by the genesis miner

Value

This function will return a list with the following components:

adj_mat	The adjacent matrix of generated blockchain.
block_info	A list that contains information of blockchain and blocks.
