Selfish mining
After completing a cryptographic puzzle, most cryptocurrencies implement block reporting. Miners can delay this reporting to quickly work on another block while leaving the other miners to the older one and exhausting their computing speed in a process called selfish mining. Concerns have been raised about how selfish mining could be exploited to create a dominant position in the mining market.
