I was asked to do a presentation at work about the blockchain and decided to implement one myself (Python).

With the same basic code base, I've built:

A basic asset tracking system. Think shipping containers.

A simple IoT API (logging sensor data).

A crude lap time tracker for racing drones. This would be easily shareable and loaded into different tracks to log your progress. I build racing drones as a hobby.

The really useful thing about the blockchain is that I can define a data structure and then design systems that consume it. Making the data portable.

Feel free to email me with questions. It's a fun tech to work with and simpler than people make it look.
