  // Blocks, blocks will have transactions.
  // Transactions/contracts are updated in goroutines
  // Each contract should send a message on a channel with usage statistics
  // The statics can be used for fee calculation within the block update method
  // Statistics{transaction, /* integers */ normal_ops, store_load, extro_balance, crypto, steps}
  // The block updater will wait for all goroutines to be finished and update the block accordingly
  // in one go and should use minimal IO overhead.
  // The actual block updating will happen within a goroutine as well so normal operation may continue
