In June 2021, SimBlock has been improved by University of Pisa, Dept. of Ingegneria dell'Informazione.
- Added parametrization for year 2021 (resembling the state of the Bitcoin blockchain in the time-frame from March 1th, 2021 to April 13th, 2021).
- Fixed SimBlock's original implementation unsuitability to mine blocks based on current Bitcoin network hash-rate (in the order of some hundred of Exahash per second).
- Save simulation results (i.e., block propagation time).
