Python was chosen for this implementation due to its readability and simplicity.

However, for the sake of simplicity, the codebase omits several advanced features such as PoH chain verification, GPU/CPU efficient functions, comprehensive banking, reporting, thread message sending, slotting logic, leader-schedule related methods, and other advanced banking modules.

For this implementation, entries are just added to a bank list. In original code records send via sender thread, however, in this implementation kafka is used for simplicity.

To run the code, install the docker and compose it:

$ docker compose up

Wait few seconds till PoH service will run and go to the logs of container main_service-1. You will see how ticks are generated and when mixins are added (they are sent from tx_generator_service-1)

To see detailed info about records sent, go to logs of tx_generator_service-1.
