Blockchain Bitcoin Simulation

This repository contains a simulation of the Bitcoin blockchain implemented in Python. It provides a simplified model of how transactions are processed, blocks are mined, and the overall functioning of the Bitcoin network.

Features

• Simulates a network of nodes that validate and propagate transactions.
• Implements a basic proof-of-work algorithm for mining blocks.
• Provides a RESTful API for interacting with the blockchain.

Requirements

• Python 3.10 or higher
• Required packages listed in pyproject.toml

Installation
