I tried generating an Ethereum address by hand starting by creating a random private key. It quickly got away from me.
I wish there was some way to simplify the math to allow doing it by hand. It would be a nice way to check for correctness while computing it offline, and while ensuring dependencies hadn't been compromised to produce a fake public address.

I feel like making your own circuits that could do this would be a more feasible approach. Or at least a circuit that uses small purpose build ICs that are easy to verify.
