how can I save my nodejs blockchain

Question

I tried to code my own Blockchain, just to understand the whole concept better. The problem I am working on right now is that the data does not get saved. I want to run the whole blockchain on a (maybe) express server and access it by a RESTful API. Because of that, I need a way to store the Blockchain somewhere. I also have already some ideas but none of them seems like a good one.


I would love to hear some answers, for example, what frameworks and so on I could use. Or maybe any ideas on how to store the database at all. Thanks for your help :)

Answer 1

point 1 and 2 are not immune to 3, infact, they are pretty much the same exept you are storing the data differently - you need to have a place to store the blockchain, but it's not decentralized if there is only 1 node, but you have to start somewhere

so i don't see anything wrong with storing the data in a database, it's just not really a decentralized block chain without lots of nodes (i.e. a network each has a copy of the blockchain)
