98 | | * The BlockPolicyEstimator is used for estimating the feerate needed |
99 | | * for a transaction to be included in a block within a certain number of |
100 | | * blocks. |
101 | | * |
102 | | * At a high level the algorithm works by grouping transactions into buckets |
103 | | * based on having similar feerates and then tracking how long it |
104 | | * takes transactions in the various buckets to be mined. It operates under |
105 | | * the assumption that in general transactions of higher feerate will be |
106 | | * included in blocks before transactions of lower feerate. So for |
107 | | * example if you wanted to know what feerate you should put on a transaction to |
108 | | * be included in a block within the next 5 blocks, you would start by looking |
109 | | * at the bucket with the highest feerate transactions and verifying that a |
110 | | * sufficiently high percentage of them were confirmed within 5 blocks and |
111 | | * then you would look at the next highest feerate bucket, and so on, stopping at |
112 | | * the last bucket to pass the test. The average feerate of transactions in this |
113 | | * bucket will give you an indication of the lowest feerate you can put on a |
114 | | * transaction and still have a sufficiently high chance of being confirmed |
115 | | * within your desired 5 blocks. |
116 | | * |
117 | | * Here is a brief description of the implementation: |
118 | | * When a transaction enters the mempool, we track the height of the block chain |
119 | | * at entry. All further calculations are conducted only on this set of "seen" |
120 | | * transactions. Whenever a block comes in, we count the number of transactions |
121 | | * in each bucket and the total amount of feerate paid in each bucket. Then we |
122 | | * calculate how many blocks Y it took each transaction to be mined. We convert |
123 | | * from a number of blocks to a number of periods Y' each encompassing "scale" |
124 | | * blocks. This is tracked in 3 different data sets each up to a maximum |
125 | | * number of periods. Within each data set we have an array of counters in each |
126 | | * feerate bucket and we increment all the counters from Y' up to max periods |
127 | | * representing that a tx was successfully confirmed in less than or equal to |
128 | | * that many periods. We want to save a history of this information, so at any |
129 | | * time we have a counter of the total number of transactions that happened in a |
130 | | * given feerate bucket and the total number that were confirmed in each of the |
131 | | * periods or less for any bucket. We save this history by keeping an |
132 | | * exponentially decaying moving average of each one of these stats. This is |
133 | | * done for a different decay in each of the 3 data sets to keep relevant data |
134 | | * from different time horizons. Furthermore we also keep track of the number |
135 | | * unmined (in mempool or left mempool without being included in a block) |
136 | | * transactions in each bucket and for how many blocks they have been |
137 | | * outstanding and use both of these numbers to increase the number of transactions |
138 | | * we've seen in that feerate bucket when calculating an estimate for any number |
139 | | * of confirmations below the number of blocks they've been outstanding. |
140 | | * |
141 | | * We want to be able to estimate feerates that are needed on tx's to be included in |
142 | | * a certain number of blocks. Every time a block is added to the best chain, this class records |
143 | | * stats on the transactions included in that block |
