Title: Methods and devices for propagating blocks in a blockchain network
Inventor: ALEXANDER MACKAY
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2019-04-12
Abstract: Methods and devices for propagating blocks in a blockchain network at a mining node while hashing a first block header of a first candidate block, the mining node sends, to other mining nodes, a first message specifying transactions and their order in a first ordered set of transactions contained in the first candidate block. The mining also receives a second message specifying transactions and their order in a second ordered set of transactions contained in a second candidate block being mined by a second mining node. If the mining node succeeds in mining the candidate block it notifies other mining nodes by providing them with a coinbase transaction, hash value, and timestamp. If another mining node is successful, then the mining node receives information from the, other mining node from which, in conjunction with the second message, it can assemble the second candidate block and validate it. This is intended to mitigate problems associated with delay in the network such as temporary forks, orphan nodes and wasted mining effort.
