A blockchain always , mines a block even if there are no txns to mine

keeping a fixed difficulty number will make managing average block-times impossible

The difficulty should not be fixed

Make sure to handle and verify signature while accepting TXNS

Created a simple Bitcoin simulator.
Central server:
✅ A central WebSocket server that all miners connect to exchange messages
Miner server:
✅ Code that miners can run to create blocks, do proof of work, and broadcast the block via the central server
✅ Code that verifies the signature, balances, and creates/adds a block
✅ Code should reject smaller blockchains/erroneous blocks
✅ Should be able to catch up to the blockchain when the server starts
Frontend:
✅ Lets the user create a BTC wallet
✅ Lets the user sign a transaction, send it over to one of the miner servers
Tech stack:
✅ Node.js for the servers
✅ React for the frontend
