MempoolScape: Bitcoin Mempool Logs Dataset

Context
Satoshi Nakamoto created something called Bitcoin in 2009. This implements Blockchain technology. Blockchain is like a public ledger that keeps track of all of its transactions.

Its usage allows secure peer-to-peer communication by linking blocks containing hash pointers to a previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency (cryptocurrency) that leverages the Blockchain to store transactions in a distributed manner.

Content In this dataset, you will have access to information about blockchain blocks and transactions that occurred during a specific block height. By modifying the bitcoin-core, we created two different logs, one when the transaction entered the mempool called 'Log_In.json' and 'Log_out.json'. These logs help create this dataset that can present a snapshot of the mempool. Some features are primitive fields and others are derived or mapped to create this dataset.

Interesting Fact
This dataset captures an extraordinary phase in Bitcoin's history, as it skyrocketed from a considerable $19,400 all the way to an astonishing $57,500!
