FLASK_APP=server.py flask run --port=5002

Include all other nodes in the JSON file other than the node you're already on. Uses proof of work and forges a new block. For registering node 5002 on node 5001:

curl -i -X POST http://localhost:5001/nodes/register -d @register-node5001.json --header "Content-Type: application/json"

For registering node 5001 on node 5002:

curl -i -X POST http://localhost:5002/nodes/register -d @register-node5002.json --header "Content-Type: application/json"

Register a new item as a manufacturer node

curl -i -X POST http://localhost:5001/register -d @entry.json --header "Content-Type: application/json"
