Bible Blockchain

Bible Blockchain is a simple implementation of a blockchain written in Go. It creates a blockchain of the King James Version of the Bible and validates it using proof-of-work.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

Usage

The program provides a simple menu-driven interface to create and load Bible blockchains. The bible text being used is the King James Version from https://openbible.com/textfiles/, in bibles/kjv.txt. It stores the blockchain in bible.bin.

Menu Options

• 1 - Create Bible Blockchain: Creates a new Bible blockchain from a file.
• 2 - Load Bible Blockchain: Loads an existing Bible blockchain from a file.
• 3 - Exit: Exits the program.

Load Bible

After loading the Bible blockchain, you are prompted to search for a verse ex Galatians 5 14 (note no : between chapter and verse)

output:

You searched for:  Galatians   5 : 14
Found BibleVerse:  book: Galatians
chapter: 5
verse: 14
text: For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Implementation

The program uses a BibleBlockchain struct to represent the blockchain, which contains a GenesisBlock and a slice of BibleBlocks. The addBlock method is used to add new blocks to the blockchain, and the isValid method checks the validity of the blockchain by verifying the hashes and previous hashes of its blocks.

The searchBibleVerse method is used to search for a specific Bible verse in the blockchain.
