Original founding document for the Zano protocol extensions.
Contains raw math for return addresses, key derivation, shared
secret encryption, hybrid mining, and tiny addresses — the
cryptographic foundations that Phase 2 bridge implements.

CGo bridge to vendored upstream C++ crypto library following the MLX
pattern. Thin C API (bridge.h) as the stable contract between Go and
C++. Provenance tracking for easy upstream Zano updates.

Add consensus-critical binary serialisation for blocks and transactions,
verified by computing the testnet genesis block hash and matching the C++
daemon output (cb9d5455...4963). Fixes Phase 0 type mismatches (variant
tags, field widths, missing fields) and adds encoder/decoder, tree hash,
and block/transaction hashing.
Key discovery: CryptoNote's get_object_hash(blobdata) prepends
varint(length) before hashing, so BlockHash = Keccak256(varint(len) || blob).
