blockChainTechnologyApp

With the latest hue and cry, I decided to get my hands dirty with the blockchain technology both as a trader and a developer.With a love for distributed systems and future goals to continue working in the domain (Courses like: Cloud Computing with bloackchain technology and global scale data management),I had two goals for the project:

1. Creating a wallet for crytocurrency.
2. Creating a mini blockchain to understand the ins and outs of the technology.

Getting Started

1. Run "server.js" and go to "http://localhost:8080/uiprice.html". This will show up the wallet I am working upon.
2. Open "runBlockChain.js" and add/remove the transactions you aim to be added in the blockchain and run it.

Prerequisites

Node v9.3.0.

Theoritical background:

"blockChainModule.js": This is the file with the simplest block chain but, trust me it is a valuable code. Also, I have added the theory part from vmware tutorial (https://research.vmware.com/publications/the-blockchain-consensus-layer-and-bft) in the form of comments.

Application Components:

1. The wallet can be used as any other wallet like coinbase,binance etc to keep the received/bought cryptocurrencies.
2. The blockchain technology is teh framework for many big application.I am still working on what all to be done.

Work to be done:

1. Completing the wallet for sending the cryptocurrency.
2. Adding the function to generate the address for enabling receiving the currency.
3. Applying the blockchain framework.
4. Adding RSA encryption in the blocks.

Technology dived into:

Node.js, blockchain technology, md5 crypto.
