Bitcoin Raw Transaction Demo

This Jupyter notebook demonstrates how to work with Bitcoin transactions using pure Python, without relying on external Bitcoin libraries.

Features

1. Key Generation

   • Create private keys
   • Derive public keys using elliptic curve cryptography

2. Bitcoin Address Creation

   • Generate legacy Bitcoin addresses
   • Implement proper address encoding with checksums

3. Raw Transaction Creation

   • Build transaction structures from scratch
   • Sign transactions
   • Serialize transactions for broadcasting

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Jupyter Notebook

Usage

1. Clone this repository
2. Open the Jupyter notebook
3. Follow along with the step-by-step explanations

Educational Purpose

This notebook is designed to help understand the underlying mechanics of:

• Bitcoin key pairs
• Address generation
• Transaction structure
• Digital signatures in Bitcoin

Note

This is for educational purposes only. For real Bitcoin transactions, please use well-tested libraries and follow security best practices.
