PyBlockChain

This is a simple implementation of a blockchain in Python, called PyBlockChain.. It provides a basic framework for creating a blockchain and adding new transactions to it. The code uses proof-of-work to validate new blocks and ensures that each block is linked to the previous block in the chain.

Features

• Simple and easy-to-use Python code
• Proof-of-work validation for new blocks
• Transactions can be added to the blockchain
• Each block is linked to the previous block in the chain

Getting Started

To get started with this blockchain, clone this repository to your local machine:

$ git clone https://github.com/your-username/PyBlockChain.git

Prerequisites

This project requires Python 3.6 or higher.

Usage

To start the blockchain, run the pyblockchain.py script:

$ python pyblockchain.py

This will start the blockchain on your local machine.

You can add new transactions to the blockchain using the new_transaction method of the Blockchain class:

blockchain.new_transaction(sender='Alice', recipient='Bob', amount=2)

To mine a new block and add it to the blockchain, you can use the mine method:

blockchain.mine()
