Tiny Blockchain is a simple blockchain implementation written in Rust. It provides a basic framework for creating and managing a blockchain, complete with transactions, proof-of-work mining, and adjustable parameters such as difficulty and mining rewards.

• Transaction Management: Allows users to create and manage transactions between different addresses.
• Proof-of-Work Mining: Implements a proof-of-work algorithm to mine new blocks for the blockchain.
• Dynamic Difficulty: Users can adjust the difficulty level for mining to control the rate at which new blocks are added to the blockchain.
• Reward System: Provides a reward to the miner for successfully mining a new block.

1. Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/simplysabir/tiny-blockchain.git
cd tiny-blockchain

2. Build the Project:

cargo build

3. Run the Application:

cargo run

4. Follow the on-screen instructions: Input the miner address, difficulty level, and use the menu to perform various actions like creating transactions, mining blocks, adjusting difficulty, and changing rewards.

• New Transaction (Menu Option 1): Add a new transaction to the current transaction pool.
• Mine Block (Menu Option 2): Mine a new block by solving the proof-of-work algorithm. This includes rewarding the miner.
• Change Difficulty (Menu Option 3): Adjust the difficulty level for mining.
• Change Reward (Menu Option 4): Modify the reward given to the miner for successfully mining a block.
• Exit (Menu Option 0): Quit the application.
