Really cool article. Looks a little similar to creating functions and classes in an MVC app. I'm curious about building in the hashing functions. Would creating a blockchain for any other purpose also require you to build in the hashing for it to be self contained or does the lib come with something?
Not exactly sure what library you're referring to. But yes, for nearly all blockchain papers and implementations I've seen the hashing is a very important part of technology. That's because the continuous hashing sort of "sets the data in stone" in that more hashes means more trustability in the chain.
As a data structure it seems to me that blockchaining is essentially creating chunks of data and arranging them in linked lists. Only difference (that I can see) is the hashing. Great post, really educational.
Can anybody please rewrite the same for Java audience?? 😊😊
I'll think about it😉
Awaiting 😊😊
...and excited. 😀
i tried a java version.

Brilliant post. It feels like Blockchain is the "Breaking Bad" of the programming world at the moment - everyone keeps telling me to get into it. I have resisted up until now as I haven't been able to find a good jumping in resource. This post has explained what I need to know to get started with Blockchain in a really accessible way. Thank you for writing this!
Great article... Thanks for simplifying it in 50lines of Python code :)
Very nice article !
for those interested, I wrote an implementation of the code above in NodeJs for fun and profit

Loved this!
Just created a PHP port: github.com/GreenCape/SnakeCoin
cool port and supper clean! i also tried in php ,copied your read me file for saving time xD

Glad you like it! Would be nice, if you mentioned the source in your README as well ;)
sure thing! xD
Very cool!
I'm the happiest man on earth, this is awesome!
Really great, Gerald!
Thanks Mateus!
Great post Gerald!
Thanks Ben!
Great post!
Thank you Manu!
Just came across this article, very nice introduction to what a blockchain is! I've been involved in all things blockchain for a few months now and this is really cool! Great work, onto part 2 now!
Can you tell me how did you do this? This part of series thing?
Nice Article!
here's the Ruby version for people interested:

Blockchains make SO much more sense now! Thanks so much, dude!
This is a Kotlin variant
Thank you for article!
