kotlin-blockchain's Introduction

kotlin-blockchain

Kotlin implementation of basic blockchain technology.

Features:

Data and storage
Mining and block validation
Hashing and previous block identification.

Todo:

Transaction system
Mining rewards
Private/Public key system
Alternate consensus methods
Secure communication methods

// Creates a new blockchain and initializes it with a "Genesis Block"
val bc = Blockchain(Block("Genesis Block", "", System.currentTimeMillis()))

// Creates a new block to add to the chain.
val block = Block("Hello Blockchain!", bc.blockchain[bc.blockchain.size -1].hash, System.currentTimeMillis())

// Mines block to verify it.
block.mine("00000")

// Adds verified block to the blockchain.
bc.blockchain.add(block)

Example Output:

Creating blockchain with genesis block.
Creating new block.
