Very basic blockchain-free cryptocurrency PoC in Python

In plain words

This is a proof-of-concept cryptocurrency implementation written in Python that deliberately avoids blockchain technology. Built for developers interested in exploring alternative cryptocurrency architectures, it demonstrates fundamental concepts of digital currency without relying on traditional blockchain infrastructure. The project is hosted on GitHub and serves as an educational tool for those studying cryptocurrency design and implementation.
