Elixir Block Clock

elixir-blockclock is a simple implementation to display the current "block time" of Bitcoin's blockchain.

It is inspired by the wonderful BLOCKCLOCK™ mini. This project exists only to explore some of the concepts one will encounter when diving deeper into Elixir. Since Bitcoin and Blockchain is another fun topic to explore, I've decided to fetch the current block time and display the result similar as the Blockclock does. It is by no means an attempt to copy the project.
