blockchain-in-js

This is an afternoon-project, a blockchain built in node, supporting PoW.

Why Node

Node itself is a more beautiful, flexible and powerful language for internet project, again, I want to show my love to js.

Why a Blockchain from scratch

When it comes to blockchain, most developers only learn how to do Dapp with ethereum, neo, or other existing infrustructure-completed project... I think there is a better way to understand blockchain itself, to build a chain from scratch

This is lovely demo for

• How Block, Blockchain, node, transaction work with each others.
• How to do them in Node
• How to resolve basic conflicts in blockchain
• How to use sha256 to do PoW(Proof of Work)
