Block Validation #344

Closed HarryL5004 closed 5 years ago

HarryL5004 commented 5 years ago

Package context: internal/block Branch: Block_Validation

For this issue, add code to the validate function stub in internal/block. Validate should return false if:

Block version does not match the version given in the parameter
Block height does not match the height given in the parameter
Block previous hash does not match the previous hash given in the parameter
Block timestamp is before the timestamp given in the parameter
Block timestamp is in the future

A test for this function is provided in the test file of package block.

Make sure to leverage the existing functions in internal/hashing and/or internal/block.

@HarryL5004 wouldn't it make more sense to put this in the validation/ package?
