Paper compares mining power-adjusting attacks under real pool payouts
PPLNS is least vulnerable to the analyzed attacks; PROP is highly exposed to hopping without block withholding.
Paper proposes Proof-of-ML-Inference to replace hash mining
Miners would run requested model inference; a simulation kept block times near the calibrated target.
PDoS: A Profitable Denial-of-Service Attack against Proof-of-Work Blockchain Liveness
PDoS attack disrupts Proof-of-Work blockchain liveness profitably by combining miner deterrence signals with parasitic revenue extraction from victim pools.
Decentralized network congestion control for DAG-based distributed ledger system
Researchers propose node-specific variable proof-of-work to curb transaction spamming in DAG-based distributed ledgers, proving a Nash equilibrium enforces prescribed node behavior.
Operational Roles of QRNG-Derived Quantum Entropy in Bitcoin Proof-of-Work Architectures
arXiv study finds quantum-random entropy adds no Bitcoin PoW success advantage but helps assurance in fault and provenance scenarios.
