Merkle Tree Builder

This is a simple implementation of a Merkle Tree builder for a given set of transactions. This builder uses goroutines to parallelize the process.

Usage

To use the Merkle tree, you can create a slice of transactions and build the tree using the BuildFromTransactions function:

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/naveed949/merkle-builder/merkle"
)

func main() {
    // create a slice of transactions
    transactions := []*merkle.Transaction{
        merkle.NewTransaction("A", "B", 100),
        merkle.NewTransaction("C", "D", 200),
        merkle.NewTransaction("E", "F", 300),
        merkle.NewTransaction("G", "H", 400),
        merkle.NewTransaction("I", "J", 500),
        merkle.NewTransaction("K", "L", 600),
        merkle.NewTransaction("M", "N", 700),
        merkle.NewTransaction("O", "P", 800),
    }

    // build the Merkle tree from the transactions
    merkleRoot := merkle.BuildFromTransactions(transactions)

    // print the Merkle tree root
    fmt.Println("Merkle tree root:", merkleRoot)
}

You can also build the tree using goroutines and channels with the BuildFromTransactionsConcurrent function:

// build the Merkle tree from the transactions using goroutines and channels
merkleRootConcurrent := merkle.BuildFromTransactionsConcurrent(transactions)

// print the Merkle tree root
fmt.Println("Merkle tree root (concurrent):", merkleRootConcurrent)
