##  Full Table for Sufficient Values of Whale Transaction

[source](https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-70278-0_17#Tab3)

The value of 𝛿 (whale attack premium) that makes whale mining more profitable than honest mining, 
as a function of the lead of the original branch at the start of the race
phase z, Alice’s mining power 𝛼 (rows), and m’s mining power 𝛽𝑚 (columns). 
For 𝑧=0, 𝛿 is always equal to 0.
