This project illustrates the fundamental concepts of blockchain and cryptocurrency including:

• Blocks that store data
• Digital signature "chaining" the blocks together
• Proof of work (mining) to validate new blocks
• Ability to check if the data in the blockchain hasn't been tampered with and is still valid
• Ability to create and use wallets
• Public and private keys generated using the Elliptic-Curve cryptography approach
• Making transactions
• Secure transfer of funds ensured by the digital signature algorithm

• gson gson:2.8.2.jar (to print the blockchain in JSON format)
• bouncy castle org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15on:1.56 (set bouncy castle as Security Provider)

• jdk1.8.0_241
