COINjecture Rich Emissions Dataset

Overview

This dataset contains comprehensive emissions and energy consumption data from the COINjecture blockchain network. It captures rich, detailed metrics for every mined block, including:

• Energy Consumption: Detailed energy measurements (solve, verify, total)
• Problem Complexity: Work scores, complexity weights, and difficulty metrics
• Time Metrics: Solve time, verify time, and time asymmetry ratios
• Block Metadata: Height, hash, miner address, timestamps
• Problem Types: SubsetSum, SAT, TSP, and Custom problem instances
• Solution Quality: Solution quality scores and verification results
• Aggregation Strategies: Bounty aggregation strategy information

Use Cases

This dataset is designed for:

1. Energy Research: Study energy consumption patterns in blockchain mining
2. Algorithm Analysis: Compare performance across different NP-hard problem types
3. Sustainability Studies: Analyze the environmental impact of proof-of-work systems
4. Performance Optimization: Identify optimization opportunities in mining algorithms
5. Academic Research: Support research in distributed systems, cryptography, and computational complexity

Data Collection

Data is automatically collected and uploaded by COINjecture network nodes running version 4.11.28+. Each node measures energy consumption using configurable methods (estimation or direct measurement) and uploads data in batches to ensure data integrity.
