Creating a simple blockchain to interact through API endpoints to better understand the topic. API queries are retrieved through cURL / Postman application

Mine: Calculates the Proof of Work, rewards with the user with a code which is added to a transaction. A new block is forged with this transaction and is added to the chain
-
New_Transaction: Verifies data to be sent in the POST request then creates a new transaction to be added to the Block.

Full Chain: Displays full information from the blockchain
-
Register_nodes: Lets a node on the network know about neighvour nodes
-
