Description

[practical] build a bitcoin transaction "by hand"

Desc: using private keys from testnet build a valid transaction for it

@meeDamian's note: Either me or Ryan can help with that (if we're not too busy with sth else :P). I can bring the cheat-sheet from Jimmi Song's seminar. Ryan has Mastering Bitcoin book.
