Project Under Development

Basic blockchain structure using Python to give us an understanding about -

• Mining
• Transactions
• Proof of Work
• Consensus

Authentication module - Twilio API used for Mobile Number verification.

How to run the flask application This simulation runs on local computer therefore you need to start blockchain nodes and clients on different ports. You do need to worry about restricted resources on your local computer as there is CORS mechanism implemented.

• To start a blockchain node, go to blockchain folder and execute the command below:

    python blockchain.py -p 5000

• To add a new node to blockchain, execute the command with a port that is not already used. E.g-

    python blockchain.py -p 5001

    python blockchain.py -p 5002

• To start the blockchain client, go to blockchain_client folder and execute the command below:

    python blockchain_client.py -p 8080

• To add a new blockchain client, execute the command with a port that is not already used. E.g-

    python blockchain_client.py -p 8081

    python blockchain_client.py -p 8082

• One can access the blockchain frontend and blockchain client dashboards from your browser by going to

    localhost:5000

    localhost:8080
