This is my second project where I tried to understand blockchain technology and what makes it tick. It was very successful, as programming a functional blockchain did make me realise the genius of this technology. This repository is essentially my findings on the subject; the code. It is a minimally viable product, although it has no networking functionality.
The code is standard Nim, but requires nimcrypto and libsodium:
nimble install nimcrypto libsodium
What nimchain does have:
- Genesis block, to start the chain with
- Account/wallet creation
- Account/wallet recovery
- Transactions; sending currency to a wallet
- Transaction verification; no duplicate transactions
- Block verification; no cheating, very important
What nimchain does not have:
- Networking
- Census algorithm
