CS4160 Lab 1 IPv8 PoW Client

Fresh implementation of the Lab 1 client for Proof of Work registration over IPv8.

Setup

Use Python 3.10 or newer.

python3.10 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e .

Run

The email and GitHub URL are hardcoded in src/constants.py:

v.jurisic@student.tudelft.nl
https://github.com/Chevuu/cs4160

Run the client with:

python -m src

The client writes mining progress to pow-progress.json and creates lab1_identity.pem if the key does not exist yet. Keep that .pem file private and back it up after a successful registration.

If you already have a nonce, set PRECOMPUTED_NONCE in src/constants.py to that integer and run the same command again.
