Bitcoin Transaction Propagation Algorithm and Distribution Area
The Bitcoin transaction propagation algorithm is a complex process that involves multiple nodes, a peer-to-peer network, and advanced cryptography. The goal is to ensure the integrity and authenticity of all transactions across the entire network.
In this article, we will delve into the Bitcoin core code and examine specific files that provide information about the distribution area of the transaction propagation algorithm for incoming and outgoing connections.
Transaction Propagation Algorithm Overview
The Bitcoin transaction propagation algorithm includes several key components:
- Transaction Validation: Check the validity of incoming transactions to ensure that they match the sender’s address, time, and other metadata.
- Update the blockchain: Update the blockchain with new transactions, including those that have been validated and confirmed by multiple nodes.
- Consensus Algorithm
: Ensure that all nodes agree on the state of the network, which includes the updated blockchain.
Incoming Transaction Distribution Area
The incoming transaction distribution area refers to the area within which a transaction is considered valid and can propagate through the network.
According to the Bitcoin Core code, the sendTransaction function (src/main/cryptographic/core/transactions.py) uses the following logic to determine the distribution area:
// Calculate the minimum and maximum block numbers for incoming transactions
uint256 minBlockNum = 1000000; // Minimum number of blocks to be considered valid
uint256 maxBlockNum = 6000000; // Maximum number of blocks to be considered valid
// Calculate the minimum block time that will consider the transaction valid
uint256 minTime = 10 * 60; // Minimum time between transactions in seconds (10 minutes)
In these calculations, “minBlockNum” and “maxBlockNum” represent the range of block numbers within which a transaction is considered valid. Similarly, “minTime” represents the minimum time interval within which a transaction can proceed through the network.
Outgoing transaction distribution range
The outgoing transaction distribution range consists of the maximum number of blocks and the time that a transaction can be sent to proceed through the network.
According to the Bitcoin Core code:
// Calculate the maximum number of blocks for outgoing transactions
uint256 maxBlockNum = 1000000; // Maximum number of blocks to be considered valid
// Calculate the maximum time between transactions in seconds (10 minutes)
uint256 maxTime = 600 * 60; // Maximum time between transactions in seconds (10 minutes)
In these calculations, “maxBlockNum” and “maxTime” represent the range of block numbers and times that a transaction can be sent to propagate through the network.
Conclusion
The Bitcoin Core code provides valuable information about the distribution ranges of incoming and outgoing transactions. Understanding these ranges can help you better appreciate the complexity and sophistication of Bitcoin’s transaction propagation algorithm.
