Claim 14:
15. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by the system to cause the computer system to perform operations comprising:
accessing a mempool comprising a temporarily allocated electronic storage space of a miner blockchain system, wherein the mempool includes a plurality of transactions not yet permanently written into a blockchain associated with the miner blockchain system, wherein the mempool includes at least a first transaction not yet permanently written into the blockchain and at least a second transaction not yet permanently written into the blockchain, wherein the first transaction has a first temporary storage location within the mempool associated with a first initial priority level for being written by the miner blockchain system into a first block of the blockchain at a first time, and wherein the second transaction has a second temporary storage location within the mempool associated with a second initial priority level for being written by the miner blockchain system into a second block of the blockchain at a second time, wherein the second time is later than the first time;
determining a relatedness score for the first transaction and second transaction by analyzing first transaction data for the first transaction and second transaction data for the second transaction, wherein the relatedness score is based on one or more of a same transferring party conducting the first and second transactions, a same receiving party for both the first and second transactions, a common funding source for both the first and second transactions, a common payment processor for both the first and second transactions, a common location of origination for both the first and second transactions, or a common time frame of origination for both the first and second transactions;
based on the relatedness score exceeding a threshold score, introducing an artificial delay for the miner blockchain system permanently writing the first transaction into the blockchain and resetting both the first initial priority level and the second initial priority level to a same new priority level;
aggregating the first transaction data and the second transaction data together into the second block for permanently writing into the blockchain, including:
accessing the first temporary storage location within the mempool to read the first transaction data for the first transaction;
accessing the second temporary storage location within the mempool to read the second transaction data for the second transaction;
inserting the first transaction data and the second transaction data into the second block; and
inserting transaction data into the second block for an additional plurality of other transactions stored at a plurality of different temporary locations within the mempool; and

causing the second block to be permanently written to the blockchain according to the same new priority level by transmitting the second block to a plurality of other computing devices corresponding to the blockchain.
