List of Blocks

This page uses a Hashtag List to show all Blocks in a Blockchain.   A Hashtag Form is shown below the Blockchain, allowing New Blocks to be added to the end.   The table is styled using Bootstrap 3 default theme classes, with a custom hash style to truncate the long values.   Hovering the cursor over any truncated value will reveal the original value.   Hovering over the Block # will reveal the Block ID used to generate the Hash.

The Blockchain Mini-App uses the Hashtag Markup Language to demonstrate a Blockchain.

Each Block contains a hash of the previous Block, ensuring Blocks can not be altered without invalidating all linked Blocks.  

Blocks are stored in an SQL database.   Methods are provided to create and validate Blocks.
