Query: Stabilizing Congestion in Decentralized Record-Keepers   We argue that recent developments in proof-of-work consensus mechanisms can
be used in accordance with advancements in formal verification techniques to
build a distributed payment protocol that addresses important economic
drawbacks from cost efficiency, scalability and adaptablity common to current
decentralized record-keeping systems. We enable the protocol to autonomously
adjust system throughput according to a feasibly computable statistic - system
difficulty. We then provide a formal economic analysis of a decentralized
market place for record-keeping that is consistent with our protocol design and
show that, when block rewards are zero, the system admits stable,
self-regulating levels of transaction fees and wait-times across varying levels
of demand. We also provide an analysis of the various technological
requirements needed to instantiate such a system in a commercially viable
setting, and identify relevant research directions.
