That just converts it to a string. Better to format it {:.0f}.format()
Here’s a piece of code I just finished. I might add some more things but at a good stopping point. I like to think that I am getting better. I made a real effort to include notes and full names so others can figure out what I am doing. Eventually I want to build a portfolio on GitHub.

Everyone says it but it works. Use ChatGPT to learn the code you want to learn.
Enter the prompt or something similar: act as a tutor. Give me a lesson plan starting from zero to learn (code you want). Include a timeline and a list of resources. I can devote (x time, x number of days a week) to learn.
Whatever it gives you ask for a day by day breakdown etc.
Read the resources, learn the syntax. Each concept you get introduced to ask the AI to suggest a practice problem that uses X concepts. Etc repeat

What determines what node a node connects to? I’m watching the traffic and it looks like random pings to different addresses, a small update with the latest block from this one, but then a large batch of data to another node that must have been offline for a few hours.

Alright, this is about the best I can do with what little I know. Final version of this practice exercise and then I need to read and study more before I try another project. I’m happy with it being only my second coding attempt.
If any experienced python coders want to critique my code it would be appreciated. I know there is probably easier and cleaner ways than what I did.
