Simulating the Ledger in Context

Simulation has always been a favorite tool.   Create a space that includes the context and metadata of an environment for some need.  Then build a means to explore it.  The exploration can be exploration combinatorially.    Or Monte Carlo Randomly.   Or Human logically.   Or via some need scripted exploration direction (like a flight simulator) .   Or even as a game.   Can get you lots of learning about the possibilities to meet some goal.   Here in another space we are exploring:

SimBlock: A Simulator for Testing Improvements to Blockchain Networks 
Tokyo Tech News via the ACM

Researchers at the Tokyo Tech Cybersecurity Research Center in Japan have developed a public blockchain simulator for use in testing blockchain performance and security. SimBlock allows users to simulate a blockchain network of about 10,000 nodes using a single conventional PC, and to modify behavior of those nodes to test the effects on performance and security. The software helps users test improvements on an existing or original blockchain, and can simulate malicious nodes and measure success rates of attack, before applying countermeasures to test their effects. ....
