[Ethereum] Symbolic decoding of a transaction for Solidity

A transaction as defined in the Yellow Paper section 4.3 it consist of several fields (like gasPrice, value, etc). To store them in the blockchain they are encoded using the Recursive Length Prefix algorithm into a sequence of bytes. This sequence is called a raw transaction.

Basically a raw transaction is a machine representation of a transaction, with the signature attached to it.

Etherscan does display the Raw Transaction hash. On the TxInfo page, top right pull down menu there is an option to extract the raw transaction hash (Get Raw Txn)

The output looks something like this https://etherscan.io/getRawTx?tx=0x4b353f2ac768fb3a4d1be17bf2ced520a60beb3a154ce1b145bcb6391bc84a7b
