Summary:
With the proliferation of decentralized applications (DApps) based on the blockchain, a mining process has been important for secure DApp operations. Since most DApp users, however, own only devices with the limited resources, e.g., mobile devices, which make it difficult to perform computationally intensive mining. Therefore, the DApp aims at operating securely by offloading the computational task required by the users for mining to the cloud and/or edge, i.e., cloud service provider (CSP). In this paper, we formulate the CSP selection problem for the offload mining in which each user (miner) selects which CSP from the available candidates as a repeated stochastic game and propose an offloading method so as to achieve a coarse correlated equilibrium (CCE) among the DApp users. Through the numerical experiment, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
