Abstract

A method for processing cryptographic currency transactions through user-based blockchain ledgers includes: receiving, by blockchain node in a blockchain network, a new cryptographic currency transaction from a first computing device including unspent transaction outputs, a sender public key, receiver public key, destination address, and cryptographic currency amount; identifying, by the blockchain node, a sending blockchain associated with the sender public key including the unspent transaction outputs; validating, by the blockchain node, the sending blockchain by generating a hash value using the sending blockchain and comparing the generated hash value to a historic sender hash value associated with the sender public key; generating, by the blockchain node, a new sender hash value by hashing a combination of the sending blockchain and the new cryptographic currency transaction; and transmitting, by the blockchain node, the generated new sender hash value to a plurality of additional nodes in the blockchain network.

Claims (32)

1. A method for processing cryptographic currency transactions through user-based blockchain ledgers, comprising:

receiving, by a receiver of a blockchain node in a blockchain network, a new cryptographic currency transaction from a first computing device, where the new cryptographic currency transaction includes at least (i) one or more unspent transaction outputs, (ii) a sender public key, (iii) a receiver public key, (iv) a destination address, and (v) a cryptographic currency amount;

identifying, by a processor of the blockchain node, a sending blockchain associated with the sender public key, where the sending blockchain is comprised of a plurality of blocks including one or more blocks including the one or more unspent transaction outputs;

validating, by the processor of the blockchain node, the sending blockchain by generating a hash value using the sending blockchain and comparing the generated hash value to a historic sender hash value associated with the sender public key;

generating, by the processor of the blockchain node, a new sender hash value by hashing a combination of the sending blockchain and the new cryptographic currency transaction; and

transmitting, by a transmitter of the blockchain node, the generated new sender hash value to a plurality of additional nodes in the blockchain network.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the transmitter of the blockchain node, the new cryptographic currency transaction to the first computing device and a second computing device, where the second computing device is associated with the receiver public key.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the combination of the sending blockchain and the new cryptographic currency transaction is comprised of the sending blockchain and a new block in the sending blockchain that includes the new cryptographic currency transaction.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the historic sender hash value is stored in a memory of the blockchain node in a data entry further including the sender public key.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the historic sender hash value is stored in a blockchain data value in a block included in a main blockchain managed by the blockchain network, the blockchain data value further including the sender public key.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the sending blockchain includes transmitting, by the transmitter of the blockchain node, the sender public key to another node in the blockchain network and receiving, by the receiver of the blockchain node, the sending blockchain from the another node.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the new cryptographic currency transaction is accompanied by the sending blockchain.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the historic sender hash value is received, by the receiver of the blockchain node, from another node in the blockchain network.

9. A system for processing cryptographic currency transactions through user-based blockchain ledgers, comprising:

a blockchain network;

a plurality of additional nodes included in the blockchain network;

a first computing device; and

a blockchain node in the blockchain network including

a receiver receiving a new cryptographic currency transaction from a first computing device, where the new cryptographic currency transaction includes at least (i) one or more unspent transaction outputs, (ii) a sender public key, (iii) a receiver public key, (iv) a destination address, and (v) a cryptographic currency amount;

a processor

identifying a sending blockchain associated with the sender public key, where the sending blockchain is comprised of a plurality of blocks including one or more blocks including the one or more unspent transaction outputs,

validating the sending blockchain by generating a hash value using the sending blockchain and comparing the generated hash value to a historic sender hash value associated with the sender public key, and

generating a new sender hash value by hashing a combination of the sending blockchain and the new cryptographic currency transaction, and

a transmitter transmitting the generated new sender hash value to a plurality of additional nodes in the blockchain network.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the transmitter of the blockchain node transmits the new cryptographic currency transaction to the first computing device and a second computing device, where the second computing device is associated with the receiver public key.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the combination of the sending blockchain and the new cryptographic currency transaction is comprised of the sending blockchain and a new block in the sending blockchain that includes the new cryptographic currency transaction.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the historic sender hash value is stored in a memory of the blockchain node in a data entry further including the sender public key.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the historic sender hash value is stored in a blockchain data value in a block included in a main blockchain managed by the blockchain network, the blockchain data value further including the sender public key.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein identifying the sending blockchain includes transmitting, by the transmitter of the blockchain node, the sender public key to another node in the blockchain network and receiving, by the receiver of the blockchain node, the sending blockchain from the another node.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the new cryptographic currency transaction is accompanied by the sending blockchain.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the historic sender hash value is received, by the receiver of the blockchain node, from another node in the blockchain network.
