Really cool article. Looks a little similar to creating functions and classes in an MVC app. I'm curious about building in the hashing functions. Would creating a blockchain for any other purpose also require you to build in the hashing for it to be self contained or does the lib come with something?
Not exactly sure what library you're referring to. But yes, for nearly all blockchain papers and implementations I've seen the hashing is a very important part of technology. That's because the continuous hashing sort of "sets the data in stone" in that more hashes means more trustability in the chain.
As a data structure it seems to me that blockchaining is essentially creating chunks of data and arranging them in linked lists. Only difference (that I can see) is the hashing. Great post, really educational.
