The most beautiful blockchain implementation of all blockchains
Actually, it is just an attempt to implement a very basic blockchain. This project was created in a one-and-a-half day hackathon at INNOQ, with the purpose to explain the concept of a blockchain and to teach beginners c# skills or refresh the skills of those who already knew c#. Created by a group of four people. Feel free to improve the code or be inspired by it.

We used simple asp.net core 2.0 and added nuget packages for Akka.NET (used for server sent events), NUnit (unit testing framework), Newtonsoft's JSON .NET (used to parse JSON) and Jetbrains Annotations.
Run the project and the endpoints will be reachable under http://localhost:5000
All endpoints are stored as an example configuration for postman here.
