Week 1: The Basics
The first week will involve the building of a mini Bitcoin implementation that has 1000 lines based on the TinyChain technology.

Week 2: Peer-To-Peer Network
On the second week, participants will be required to write up a Bitcoin network crawler as well as a partial implementation of initial block download. Apart from that, the participants will also draft up a script execution engine that can be used in the implementation of Bitcoin transactions.
