Percentage Contradiction on GHOST Description #613

Closed houruomu closed 4 years ago

houruomu commented 6 years ago

Link:https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/White-Paper#modified-ghost-implementation In which, it first states:

a stale block receives 87.5% of its base reward, and the nephew that includes the stale block receives the remaining 12.5%. Transaction fees, however, are not awarded to uncles.

But on a later paragraph, it states:

For every uncle U in block B, the miner of B gets an additional 3.125% added to its coinbase reward and the miner of U gets 93.75% of a standard coinbase reward.

Is this a contradiction?

Yes, looks like a contradiction.

See https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/blob/master/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md.

Check the yellow paper for the latest spec: https://ethereum.github.io/yellowpaper/paper.pdf.

@houruomu as @jamesray1 states above, please recreate this issue using the template, and even better, if you have a proposed fix, let me know what you think the change should be and I'd be happy to apply them.
