+Plan:
+* rewrite ts cosmos broadcaster SP in rust
+* create simple rust binary for client cli use with 2 functions:
+	* use standard CLI method - cf. NymCLI
+	* getSequence() for offline signing
+	* submitTx() for sending tx thru mixnet to SP for broadcasting
+
+* rust server code - communicates with chain
+	* sdk
+	* nym validator client - broadcast client, gets sequence + submits tx
+* rust client code - communicates with server via mixnet
+	* sdk
+	* nym validator client - offline signer
