Selecting Miners within Blockchain-based Systems Using Evolutionary Algorithms for Energy OptimisationAkram Alofi, Mahmoud A. Bokhari, Robert Hendley et al.
In this paper, we represent the problem of selecting miners within a blockchain-based system as a subset selection problem. We formulate the problem of minimising blockchain energy consumption as an optimisation problem with two conflicting objectives: energy consumption and trust. The proposed model is compared across different algorithms to demonstrate its performance.
