petemcw / docker-chia-network

My slightly tweaked fork of Chia's docker image.

petemcw/docker-chia-network

Chia Network is a new blockchain and smart transaction platform that is easier to use, more efficient, decentralized, and secure. Chia Network was founded by Bram Cohen, the inventor of the BitTorrent network.
