An example of a tiny blockchain written in Rust

rusticblocks

An example of a small blockchain written in Rust. I've only just started learning the Rust programming language and this struck me as a nice little project to get me started. It is based on some python code that can be found here: Snakecoin

I'm planning to add demo server and client code soon.

Prerequisites

You need a computer with the rustc compiler and cargo installed.

How to run example code

• git clone https://github.com/hacktor/rusticblocks.git
• cd rusticblocks
• cargo run --bin example
