Pool games in various information environments

The emergence of Blockchain digital technology provides one of the most prominent transaction mechanisms in an increasing variety of digital and augmented environments. In the Blockchain habitat, interactions among autonomous agents, called miners, form mining pools that aggregate computational power in order to increase their possible gains. A Pool game models mining pools that compete against each other in order to improve their outcome by strategically committing their miners. Current studies in Pool games make the assumption that pools have complete and correct information about the situation. In this work we drop this assumption, studying Pool games under various information environments such as incomplete information and erroneous information.
