Block Chain Python Code

This document defines a Blockchain class that implements a basic blockchain with proof-of-work consensus. The class includes methods for adding transactions, mining new blocks, registering nodes, and resolving conflicts to maintain consensus across the decentralized network. A Flask API is also defined to allow interaction with the blockchain.
