Blockchain in Go

there is bug in SaveToFile method (maybe you can solve it and send a PR???)

This project is a simplified implementation of a blockchain in Go, inspired by the series "Building Blockchain in Go" by Ivan Kuznetsov. The series provides a step-by-step guide to creating a basic blockchain prototype, incorporating features like Proof-of-Work, transactions, addresses, and network capabilities.

Features

• Blockchain Structure: A chain of blocks, each containing a timestamp, data, previous block hash, and its own hash.
• Proof-of-Work: A consensus mechanism to secure the blockchain by requiring computational work to add new blocks. (Read more)
• Transactions: Mechanism to securely transfer data between parties, ensuring immutability and transparency. (Read more)
• Addresses: Unique identifiers derived from public keys to receive transactions. (Read more)
• Networking: P2P network implementation to synchronize the blockchain across multiple nodes. (Read more)
