Neat. I contemplated writing something like that, only without the "import rlp" cheat. Basically, there were a lot of blind spots in the official documentation and it took me a while to figure out things like how to make a proper key recovery id or which endianness to use where in the messages. How far have you been able to get to? I still can't quite wedge into the mainnet - the nodes keep disconnecting me for unkno…
Ah, I knew someone was going to get me on that. They actually give you the encode function in the specification. It's pretty straightforward and if I was to write it, would end up the same, so I decided to just import the library. But I agree it does go against the "from scratch" title a little bit.

Totally agree.

I'm actually trying to get the mainnet nodes to talk to me as well.

Though I meet the criteria as stated (knowledge level wise - I'm a retired IT Exec/long time geek), yet this still is a bit too esoteric for me. As one of the 'killer apps' for ethereum is smart contracts, I'd like to see this explained in a 'for dummies' high level way, then decomposed into the finer technical chunks needed to make it happen.
a "smart contract" is a script that runs on a blockchain to execute terms and manage funds.
the problem is that the tools that you use to make these are basically garbage. you don't write fin-tech in what amounts to javascript y'know?

professional etherem devs haven't even gotten to the point where they can write correct contracts themselves. but the concept is pretty simple. a "smart contract" is a script that runs on a blockchain to execute terms and manage funds. the problem is that the tools that you use to make these are basically garbage. you don't write fin-tech in what amounts to javascript y'know?

People were saying the same thing about non-C++ back in the day. "Web apps aren't written in scripting languages y'know?"

Registered assets are always more secure and cheaper than bearer assets. And if you needed bearer assets, there's multisig, which does everything turing complete code does, cheaper and more secure
Its the interactions between assets, agreements and trusted devices which opens up possibilities greater than the scope of this thinking.
