Custom-AI-Blockchain

Customized scratch-made implementation of a Blockchain for simulation of data transactions, utilizing a deterministic Artificial Intelligence algorithm.

Distributed Peer-to-Peer System with AI, IPFS, and Blockchain

Overview

This system connects three peers in a decentralized network and performs various operations on transaction data. The system features an AI-driven deterministic algorithm, supports peer-to-peer data exchange with flooding/gossiping protocols, and integrates IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) for distributed file storage. It also includes blockchain functionality with block mining and proof of work (crypto puzzle).

Features

• Connecting 3 Peers: The system connects three peers in a decentralized network.
• Transaction Handling: Each peer processes more than 5 transactions with deterministic AI algorithms applied to the data.
• Flooding/Gossiping Protocol: Data is disseminated across all peers using flooding/gossiping for efficient and robust communication.
• Blockchain: Each peer participates in mining blocks, and the network ensures consensus through proof of work (crypto puzzle).
• IPFS Integration: Distributed file storage across peers using IPFS.

Installation

Prerequisites

1. Go: Ensure you have Go installed on your machine. If not, install it from here.
2. IPFS: Follow the steps below to install IPFS on Windows.

IPFS Installation on Windows

1. Download IPFS:
   • Visit the IPFS download page: https://dist.ipfs.tech/#kubo.
   • Download the Windows binary (e.g., kubo_v0.25.0_windows-amd64.zip).
2. Extract the Files:
   • Extract the zip file to a directory on your system.
3. Update PATH Environment Variable:
   • Add the extracted folder to your system's PATH environment variable.
4. Initialize IPFS:
   • Open Command Prompt and run the following commands:

     ipfs init
     ipfs daemon

Go IPFS Dependency

To add the IPFS dependency to your Go project, run the following command in Command Prompt:

go get github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs-api
