Description
Hi Maintainers 👋,
I noticed that the Blockchain folder in this repository is currently empty except for a basic README.md and an unrelated Diophantine equation file.
We’ve built a Python blockchain implementation from scratch as part of an educational project, and I’d love to propose contributing it as an initial commit to help kickstart this section.
⚙️ What Our Implementation Includes
🔌 A peer-to-peer network using Python’s socket library
🧵 Multithreaded handling of nodes and messages
⛓️ Block structure and chaining logic
⛏️ Basic mining with Proof-of-Work
🧠 Local consensus mechanism (with plans for enhancements)
While the current codebase still needs refactoring and modularization, we believe this version serves as a solid foundation for future contributions and learning.
✅ Why This Belongs in TheAlgorithms
✅ Fully implemented from scratch, aligning with the project’s philosophy
🌐 Promotes open collaboration on decentralized system algorithms
📚 Opens the door to more blockchain-related implementations like:
Digital Signatures
Merkle Trees
and more...

📝 Next Steps
Once approved, I’ll go ahead and:
Submit a PR with the implementation
Clean up the code as needed to match your guidelines
Remove this issue for clarity
Thanks for your time and for maintaining such a great repository!
Looking forward to your feedback.
