High level workflow

We are primarily using two data structures: Network and Blockchain. Network keeps track of all the possible forks, maintains the chain state and a list of all blocks in the main chain (longest chain, whichever one has the highest PoW). Each instance of Blockchain essentially acts as a single chain (or fork) in a network.
