Cryptomine

This a simple attempt of simulating a Blockchain System; with the usage of caesar ciphers and API endpoints in the language GO.

Blockchain Implementation in Go

This project is a simple implementation of a blockchain in Go. It demonstrates the fundamental concepts of blockchain technology including creating blocks, mining blocks with proof-of-work, and maintaining the integrity of the chain.

Features

• Creation of individual blocks with transactions
• Proof-of-work implementation for mining blocks
• Validation of the blockchain's integrity
• RESTful API to interact with the blockchain
• Console operations for testing

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Go (Golang) installed on your system
• Gin installation
• Godot installation
• Basic understanding of Go and RESTful APIs

There are commands and the imports you can refer to within the repo.

Side comments:

Further improvements can be made by maintainence of the code and modularizing them into different files ex: util, models, main, blockchain, blocks, api, etc.

I can use additional ciphers to enhance the security of the hash. (Intend to down the line.)

I can improve the hashing algorithm as the time complexity is O(n).

I intend to add UI/UX design to this simple blockchain so the user can do the API request and visualize the handles/functions

Add more scalability with the keys and the blocks.
