BITCOIN 2018: 5th Workshop on Bitcoin and Blockchain Research

摘要

The year leading to the Bitcoin 2018 workshop witnessed a continuing increase in research on the Bitcoin protocols and on many related blockchain systems. The workshop, along with its parent conference FC, continued its tradition of providing a venue for some of the leading results in the field. Even as many alternative workshops and conferences have begun to accept and attract research on blockchains, the Bitcoin workshop remains the prominent venue for such work. The workshop received a large number of submissions: A total of 27 papers were submitted for review. Of these, a selection of 11 papers (nine full papers and two short papers) were accepted after review by the Program Committee and ten chose to be included in the proceedings. A single paper deferred from BITCOIN 2017 is also included in these proceedings.
