Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel and energy-efficient blockchain system, CrowdMine, which exploits useful crowdsourcing computation to achieve decentralized consensus. CrowdMine solves user-proposed computing tasks and utilizes the computation committed to the task solving process to secure decentralized on-chain storage. With our designed “Proof of Crowdsourcing Work” (PoCW) protocol, our system provides an efficient paradigm for computation and storage in a trustless and decentralized environment. We also implement the system with 40 distributed nodes to demonstrate its performance and robustness.
