      1 # CRYPTO DEV SIGNER
      2 
      3 This package is written because at the time no good solution seemed to exist for solving the following combined requirements and issues:
      4 
      5 * A service has custody of its users' private keys.
      6 * The are a large number of private keys involved (hundreds of thousands and up).
      7 * Need to sign transactions conforming to EIP-155, with the ability to arbitrarily specify the "chain id".
      8 * Do not want to store the keys inside an ethereum node, especially not the one connected to the network.
      9 * Want to use the "standard" web3 JSON-RPC interface, so that the component can be easily replaced later.
     10 * Multiple providers don't work on either web3.js and/or web3.py.
     11 * As a bonus, provide a practical keystore solution for testing in general for web3 projects.
