SimplePyBlockchain

A basic blockchain implementation in Python with Proof of Work consensus.

Description

SimplePyBlockchain is a basic blockchain project implemented in Python. It demonstrates the concept of a blockchain and uses a simple Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism. This project is intended for educational purposes and to help you understand the basic principles of a blockchain.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x

Project Structure

The project structure is as follows:

• blockchain.py: Contains the implementation of the Block and Blockchain classes, along with the PoW algorithm.
• main.py: A simple script demonstrating how to create and use the blockchain.

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/devincapriola/SimplePyBlockchain.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd SimplePyBlockchain
   

3. Run It

   python main.py
   

This will create a basic blockchain with two sample transactions.
