A Python implementation of how to create a basic crypto coin

BasicCryptocurrency

Hello every one

• Here I show how to implement a simple blockchain and cryptocurrency using Python.

• The implementation goes through stages. In the beginning we create a very simple blockchain, then in part 2 we add add proof of work and in part 3 we add mining rewards and transactions. In part 4 we add signing of transactions to make our currency more secure.

• This is part 1 of my lecture (here we create a basic blockchain): https://www.facebook.com/noureddin.sadawi/videos/824493898640118/

• This is part 2 (where we extend the blockchain and make it a toy cryptocurrency): https://www.facebook.com/noureddin.sadawi/videos/1258962571365501

• My implementation is based on this nice tutorial (which uses javascript): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzvRQMJ9HDiTqZmbtFisdXFxul5k0F-Q4
