Thanks a lot for the pointers! I hadn't thought of going over the professor's previous publications; I'll go do that. I know a high-level overview of how blockchains work but haven't directly worked with them. We have been taught cryptography as part of the curriculum, but we never went deeper than SHA-256. The paper you linked to is very interesting, I read the abstract and found the idea fascinating.
