This is a single- and multi-agent simulation of the IOTA Tangle, as described in the white-paper.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

The code is run and tested with Python 3.6.3 on macOS 10.12.6. Create a virtual environment for Python 3 with:

virtualenv -p python3 envname

The used Python libraries/packages can be installed with:

make

or alternatively with:

pip install -r requirements.txt

The Python unittest module is used for testing. Run the tests with:

python -m unittest discover

Run the simulation with:

python core.py

In this file you can also change the configurations of the simulation.
