Simple Blockchain in Golang

This repository contains a basic implementation of a blockchain that uses the Proof of Work (PoW) mechanism to securely add blocks.

What is this Repository About?

The core of this project demonstrates how to:

• Create blocks containing data and securely add them to a blockchain.
• Implement the Proof of Work algorithm to validate the mining process.
• Use hashing to ensure the integrity and linkage of the blocks in the chain.
