A command line utility for learning Blockchain technical concepts likechaining, mining, proof of work etc.
Anyone who wants to understand how blockchain technology works, then BlockShell should be a great start. Because I have created BlockShell keeping blockchain fundamentals in the center of development. With BlockShell you will actually create a tiny blockchain in your system where you can create blocks with data, explore blocks etc.
So, by using BlockShell anyone can learn following blockchain concepts,

BlockShell comes with built-in blockchain explorer by which you can actully see how blocks are mined and what is stored and where.
