Introduction
Welcome to the world of SavjeeCoin! This blog is designed to guide you through the essential steps to create and manage your own cryptocurrency using the SavjeeCoin library. You’re about to embark on a journey that involves key generation, transaction signing, and blockchain manipulation—all fundamental aspects of cryptocurrency operations.
Project Features
- Simple proof-of-work algorithm.
- Verify blockchain to prevent tampering.
- Generate a wallet with a private and public key.
- Sign transactions for enhanced security.
Getting Started
Install the Library
Begin by installing the SavjeeCoin library to kickstart your project:
npm install --save savjeecoin
Generate a Keypair
To perform transactions on the blockchain, you’ll need to create a keypair. Think of the public key as your house address and the private key as your password to enter the house.
const EC = require('elliptic').ec;
const ec = new EC('secp256k1');
const myKey = ec.genKeyPair();
The myKey
object now contains both your public and private keys. Here’s how to display them:
console.log('Public key:', myKey.getPublic('hex'));
console.log('Private key:', myKey.getPrivate('hex'));
Create a Blockchain Instance
Now that you have your keys, let’s set up your very own blockchain instance:
const Blockchain = require('savjeecoin');
const myChain = new Blockchain();
Adding Transactions
Let’s say you want to transfer 100 coins from your wallet to another address (imagine it as sending money to a friend). Here’s how you can do it:
const tx = new Transaction(myKey.getPublic('hex'), toAddress, 100);
tx.sign(myKey);
myChain.addTransaction(tx);
Once you’ve created the transaction, it’s time to finalize it by mining a new block:
myChain.minePendingTransactions(myKey.getPublic('hex'));
