A blockchain made in Rust Lang

Little project in rust to make a cryptocurrency. It is based on GeekLaunch's "Build a cryptocurrency in Rust" series, you can watch it here

This project includes:

• Basic blockchain, blocks and transactions
• Basic Block verification
• Example on how to create genesis blocks
• Example on how to mine blocks

There's still a couple of things missing in this cryptocurrency and its tests that I would like to add in my offtime, here's a few things:

• Test miners don't take money from any address, instead they take only from addresses that transfered any money in the last block in the blockchain
• No way to get the current amount of money on an address (or even a cached version)
• Verifications could be a little more extensive
• No Blockchain api to interact with the blockchain from outside
• Blockchain could a use a generic type like Blockchain<Block> to support other purposes
• Miners could be multithreaded
• Difficulty doesn't update every block
• Block mining times are inconsistent because of the latter
• Fee isn't based on the transactions

I made this for fun, don't go around judging my code :D. If you want to base it on my code feel free
