Abstract:
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing blockchain transactions, and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and apparatuses for securing a blockchain with proof-of-transactions. In various embodiments, the blockchain system utilizes a proof-of-transactions approach that is based on a multi-player voting system and that is not susceptible to a free-rider problem that affects many other cryptocurrencies. The proof-of-transactions approach allows the cryptocurrency network to divide revenue between the nodes in the peer-to-peer network that provides bandwidth and connectivity and a set of other nodes that solve computational puzzles that safeguard the security of the blockchain system.

Claim (Index 18):
A method, comprising:\n calculating, by one or more first nodes among a plurality of nodes within a blockchain network, a value of all unspent tokens contained in all unpruned blocks preceding; and adjusting a monetary policy of the blockchain network so that the blockchain network will reintroduce the unspent tokens as tokens allocated in future blocks; and pruning, by the one or more first nodes among the plurality of nodes within the blockchain network, transaction slips in blocks in a blockchain preceding an arbitrary block identified according to consensus rules of the blockchain.
