     113                 :             :  * sufficiently high percentage of them were confirmed within 5 blocks and

     120                 :             :  * Here is a brief description of the implementation:
     121                 :             :  * When a transaction enters the mempool, we track the height of the block chain
     122                 :             :  * at entry.  All further calculations are conducted only on this set of "seen"
     123                 :             :  * transactions. Whenever a block comes in, we count the number of transactions
     124                 :             :  * in each bucket and the total amount of feerate paid in each bucket. Then we
     125                 :             :  * calculate how many blocks Y it took each transaction to be mined.  We convert
     126                 :             :  * from a number of blocks to a number of periods Y' each encompassing "scale"
     127                 :             :  * blocks.  This is tracked in 3 different data sets each up to a maximum
     128                 :             :  * number of periods. Within each data set we have an array of counters in each
     129                 :             :  * feerate bucket and we increment all the counters from Y' up to max periods
     130                 :             :  * representing that a tx was successfully confirmed in less than or equal to
     131                 :             :  * that many periods. We want to save a history of this information, so at any
     132                 :             :  * time we have a counter of the total number of transactions that happened in a
     133                 :             :  * given feerate bucket and the total number that were confirmed in each of the
     134                 :             :  * periods or less for any bucket.  We save this history by keeping an
     135                 :             :  * exponentially decaying moving average of each one of these stats.  This is
     136                 :             :  * done for a different decay in each of the 3 data sets to keep relevant data
     137                 :             :  * from different time horizons.  Furthermore we also keep track of the number
     138                 :             :  * unmined (in mempool or left mempool without being included in a block)
