<c​oinerlapsum:matrix.org> Hey I am a beginner in programming, I am trying to build blockchain in python without the mining

<c​oinerlapsum:matrix.org> part

<c​oinerlapsum:matrix.org> Any advice :)

"build blockchain", what do you mean with that exactly? build your own blockchain? or interact with other cryptocurrencies?

<r​brunner7:monero.social> coinerlapsum: You want to build your *own* blockchain? To learn and experiment?

My advice is to remove all extraneous stuff, so your task is as simple as possible. Dumb file format (maybe even a file per block). No generic networking. Use python libs as much as you can (ie, for hashing).

It can get discouraging when you have a lot of stuff that needs doing that's not really your goal itself.

<c​oinerlapsum:matrix.org> No just a seperate thing, I'm thinking of digitizing government records

<c​oinerlapsum:matrix.org> Something like that

<c​oinerlapsum:matrix.org> Yes, just build for myself, no need of interacting with other cryptocurrencies

<r​brunner7:monero.social> In this case this is not the best place to ask such questions, because this Matrix room has a quite narrow topic of "everything around the Monero GUI wallet app". I would look around in reddit.com/r/CryptoTechnology and if you don't find an earlier similar question, maybe make a post.
