Abstract
Technologies are shown for selecting a provider to service a client service request using a predictive metrics based consensus protocol to select a provider and create a service request transaction block to service the client service request. A client service request is received and forwarded to a set of providers. Proposed transactions are received from the providers and scored based on a predictive metric. A proposal transaction is selected based on the scoring and the selected transaction is written as a block on a service transaction blockchain. The provider for the selected transaction detects the block on the blockchain and performs the requested service. The client detects the block on the blockchain and transfers payment to the provider. Selection can be based on predictive metrics in the providers or macro metrics determined in miner nodes in combination with provider reputation, currency, load sharing, fairness, provisioning, and static and dynamic criteria.
