µBlockchain - a training project to grasp Blockchain's basic concepts.

This projet is an incentive to learn how Blockchain works. To train on Python3.6 basic concepts and basic HTTP requests. And to make a minimalist Blockchain toolkit to try new features and experiments.

This project has been built following over Daniel val Flymen's tutorial: Learn Blockchain by building one. That's why I strongly advise you to follow along the tutorial, and check his repository and his tutorial for further information

Dependencies & Installation

You need:

• Python3.6
• pipenv
• Flask
• requests

1. Install Python3.6+
2. Intall pipenv
3. Install the tutorial's dependencies

Basic usage

To use the µBlockchain:

1. Install dependencies
2. Clone the repository
3. Run blockchain.py using python3.6 blockchain.py
4. Once running you can
   • See the whole chain bash see_chain.sh
   • Make a transaction bash see_chain.sh sender recipient amount example: bash see_chain.sh satan me 666
   • Mine on the µBlockchain bash mining.sh

Have fun! :)

I'd like to thank @dvf for this absolutely minimalistic and yet concise tutorial, waiting for updates :)

TODO:

• Implement Consensus algorithms
• Fix bash scripts bugs with strings params
• Test consensus algorithms and routes (use a different port and a different machine) and bash scripts
• Clean code
• Add more features
• Test
• Create middleware modules
• Test
• Create a "micro" React Web app to visualize how the block chain is created and how it is constructed through nodes interactions between nodes
• Test
• Install Popmotion to create beautiful animations
