simpleserialize (ssz)

This is a work-in-progress crate designed to perform the "simpleserialize" serialization described by Vitalik Buterin. The method is tentatively intended for use in the Ethereum Beacon Chain.

There are two primary sources for this spec, and they are presently conflicting:

The ethereum/beacon_chain reference implementation simpleserialize.py file.
The py_ssz module in ethereum/research.

This implementation is presently a placeholder until the final spec is decided. Do not rely upon it for reference.

TODO

Wait for spec to finalize.
Implement encoding for all useful types.
Implement decoding.
