 # Welcome to Gradecoin!
-
 Blockchains are incredibly simple yet can appear very complicated, we will see how they work and practice programming _production_ cryptography code.
 
 This server is the sandbox for the PA1, it's currently running the Gradecoin application. Gradecoin is the faux currency we will use to simulate a blockchain network. At the end of the simulation, the amount of Gradecoin you hold will be your PA1 grade.
@@ -17,7 +16,7 @@ Blocks need to be _mined_ beforehand using Proof-of-work, or brute force.
 Gradecoin offers 3 endpoints at [/register](/register), [/block](/block) and [/transaction](/transaction). You can only send GET requests to /block and /transaction without authorization.
 The server is programmed in [RESTful](https://www.service-architecture.com/articles/web-services/representational_state_transfer_rest.html) architecture, there are no `DELETE`, `PUT` or `UPDATE` operations, though.
 
-Gradecoin uses a Proof-of-work block accepting mechanism. It uses single round [Blake2s](https://www.blake2.net/) hashing which produces 256-bit (64 hexadecimal characters) output. The [target](https://wiki.bitcoinsv.io/index.php/Target) hash is _24 bits_ or _6 hexadecimal characters_ of 0. During testing, I could mine a block on average around 4-6 minutes.

+Then you can earn block rewards by proposing blocks, create some Gradecoins by generating traffic on the system, or transact with our new highly trained AI bots!
