This is the first part of midterm project. You are going to finish the **Block** struct and the **Blockchain** struct. Please work in teams of 2.
**Due date: 12:30PM, Feb 11, 2020.** This part of project is not as heavy as previous assignment, and we believe 5 days are enough.

3. We don't involve proof-of-work check or mining, but we need to prepare for them. So we require fields nonce and difficulty inside a block. You can start to think about how to mine or check blocks.
4. Blockchain struct will be used in multiple places in the future. For example, when you implement a miner, you insert a mined block into blockchain; when you want to mine on the longest chain, you need to get the tip as the block's parent; when you receive a block from p2p network, you insert it.
5. (Same as in assignment 2.) A tricky part about transaction and signature is how you put them together. One possible way is to create another struct called SignedTransaction. The other way is to declare a field in transaction called signature, which will be empty if there is no signature. Feel free to design your own way. Obviously, a block should carry transactions *with* signature in order to verify it. (We don’t require you to finish this in this part.)
6. Updated: we don't require you to put a coin base transaction inside blocks in this part.
