Block Chain Implementation using JavaScript and Node JS for Real Estate Transactions.


/**
 * RealEstateTransactionBlock Chain Implementation to record Real Estate Transactions. 

 * What is BlockChain?
    * BlockChain Chain is a data structure built through LinkedLists and Merkle Trees.
* BlockChain is immutable.  The blocks are not editable, hence can't forge the original recorded transaction.
 *
 * To understand more in detail or help compiling the code, please leave a comment or send me an email.  
 
 * - Create Block that holds the transactions and the necessary links and timestamp.
 * - Create BlockChain responsible for validating the new transactions and adding to the Chain.  
 * Software Required to run the below JavaScript Implementation of RealEstateTransactionBlock Chain:
 *
 * - Download Node.js  https://nodejs.org/en/
 * - Download Crypto-js Library (SHA256 hash function developed by the NSA and is irreversible hash function.
 * To install run : npm install -- save crypto-js
 *  
 * Time taken to write this code - 30 mins.
