DabCoin

Proof-of-dab based cryptocurrency. It's like proof of work, but you can only mine blocks if the data from your device accelerometer indicates that you are dabbing. Contains both blockchain technology and artificial intelligence, as well as other associated buzzwords. A collaboration with Marcel O'Neil and Curtis Chong. Marcel wrote the React based front end and web wallet, Curtis wrote the dab-or-not-dab classifier, and I wrote the cryptocurrency network nodes and the API for clients to interact with the network. Written in 7 hours for TerribleHack XI.

3. Run yarn run build in the client/ directory, and copy the resulting build directory to where it can be served by your web server

DabCoin Node

2. Install the dependencies specified in server/requirements.txt
3. Edit the variable named mlURL in server/app.py to specify the URL of the classifier server
