Build Your Own Blockchain — a minimal blockchain in Python for learning how the pieces fit

A minimal blockchain built with Python and Flask, written for learning rather than production. It covers the essentials end to end: blocks, hashing, proof of work, transactions, and consensus between nodes.

You can spin up multiple nodes locally on different ports and watch them sync chains and resolve conflicts — which is where blockchain concepts actually click:

python blockchain.py          # node 1 on :8000
python blockchain.py -p 8001  # node 2
python blockchain.py -p 8002  # node 3
