Beigepaper

A rewrite of the Yellowpaper in non-Yellowpaper syntax.

This project exists to make the Ethereum Yellowpaper readable by a broader audience. This is a beta release, so errata exist, and content is still being added.

Build Instructions

If you're running Debian or Ubuntu derivatives:

sudo apt install pdflatex texlive* biber

Next:

./biber-n-build

will create the pdf file.

Lastly, open the pdf with a reader that supports character rendering (e.g. evince on Linux) if you want to do text searches.
