This is a implementation of a proof of work (POW) cryptocoin in go intended as a hobby project. The project runs concurrently a number of miners, each of which keeps its own copy of the blockchain. The miners are able to communicate with each other through a single channel. Through this nework, mined blocks are broadcast, transactionrequest are made, unknown blocks for new branches are requested,... An easy to use shell can be used to see the blockchain in action and interact with it.
