What do you mean by "implement rent"? Do you mean a smart contract that can facilitate the acceptance of payments in a given interval/amount? Because I'm sure a million people have written something like that already, good luck getting a landlord to go along with your crypto autism though

no i mean "rent" in the sense that contracts leak gas depending on their size, and evaporate once they're empty.

There are books about how to create blockchain networks.

They are basically a distributed network, similar to bittorrent and other p2p networks, a datastructure holding the blockchain (usually a hashtable) plus a "game" (an NP hard problem), plus a reward system. Is not really that hard if you have at least 2 years of compsci.

Or you can just fork and open source one and call it a day.

I have 6 yrs of compsci. :^)

I have a network that needs a signature management system, and i'm considering leeching off one of the more popular blockchain technologies, if not an existing blockchain altogether.

I'm just asking stupid questions while I'm mulling it over in my head.
