MinerID

MinerID is a set of protocols that allow a miner to embed information inside the coinbase transaction of each block won by a particular node to allow all blocks it wins to be associated with an identity.

This will allow network users to see which nodes are the most proficient at mining enabling them to target those nodes to broadcast transactions and retrieve information about activity on the network such as incoming payments, merkle proofs, double spend queries and more.

Examples

The minerid protocol has been supported by TAAL mining ltd. since 20th December 2019.
