I'm continuing my learning journey towards the goal of becoming a bitcoin developer.
I'm still investigating all the enconding rules that permit to convert whatever Bitcoin tx from the JSON format into the corresponding byte message broadcasted into the Bitcoin network.
In the course of this learning experience, I had some fun in developing a simple python app which takes as input a tx hash and returns the byte message in hexdump format (the same format used to represent the Genesis block)

The app is pretty useless, however I'm fascinated by the aesthetic of that output. It's nice representation of a Bitcoin tx in machine-language.
Let me know if someone can be interested in using it. I can create easily a public REST API...
