Title: How to prove improvement in transaction throughput Post by: wowfacftory on February 05, 2020, 09:17:00 AM I am working on a research in bitcoin blockchain where I am making some hypothetical changes in policies of bitcoin blockchain. Due to this, it helps to increase the transaction throughput of bitcoin blockchain (or at least a thing I want to claim through my research). Or one can think of this research as an identical PoW blockchain to bitcoin, with some changes in its policies and structure. I am already working on a simulator called btcd - https://github.com/btcsuite/btcd (https://github.com/btcsuite/btcd). It is a full node implementation of bitcoin blockchain or what I understand of it. I was wondering how can I prove using btcd that transaction throughput have been increased through new policies. Other possible simulator names with suitable abstraction level will also be helpful. If we think of a scenario where it is absolutely necessary for miners to fill the blocks at its fullest (Apparently, It will improve transaction throughput.), can this improvement be proved using any mathematical aspect?

- Comparing how many transactions are included in each block. - Comparing how long it takes to clear a clogged mempool. - Comparing required fees to confirm a transaction (by assuming that if you require a very high fee then it means throughput is low). |
