Cryptocurrency Basics- Project length: 4h 48m
In this project, we are going to look at creating a faucet for our cryptocurrency that we previously created. A Faucet is a way to distribute coins to users, in this case we will add a captcha that also mines in the background and will allow us to earn back the coins we distribute. It's a great way to get coins into circulation. As well as being a fun project, this project will also teach us how to interact and build applications on top of crypto currencies.
Overview
