摘要: The bitcoin peer-to-peer network has drawn significant attention from researchers, but so far mostly focused on publicly visible portions of the network, i.e., reachable peers. This ignores hidden parts network: unreachable Bitcoin peers behind NATs and firewalls. In this paper, we characterize that might be or firewalls different perspectives. Using a special-purpose measurement tool conduct large scale study discover several previously unreported usage patterns: small number are involved in propagation 89% all transactions, public cloud services being used for probing crawling, amount transactions generated only two mobile applications. We also empirically evaluate method uses timing information to re-identify peer created transaction against find very accurate use latest version Core client.
