Full Table for Sufficient Values of Whale Transaction
The value of 𝛿 (whale attack premium) that makes whale mining more profitable than honest mining, as a function of the lead of the original branch at the start of the race phase z, Alice’s mining power 𝛼 (rows), and m’s mining power 𝛽𝑚 (columns). For 𝑧=0, 𝛿 is always equal to 0.
