Platitudes! That's it!

Lumor, you're well on your way to earning yourself a place in my heart, and that's a remarkable feat. 🌝🧡

Hm, a wise little fella it seems, under what nym are you creating then?

And I'm with you on that! I wonder what you're up to; anything in the making? 😶‍🌫️🌝

You're making me uncomfortable, Lumor.

"it's a global marshmallow experiment".

Well, that, but elliptic curves are also used in transaction signing et cetera.

"You could go into child key derivation and how the public key of hardened child keys cannot be derived using an xpub. But I guess you are getting there."

Already covered, yet not included as it was still a bit wordy, I'll include it another time.

"My impression is that the G point might have been chosen based on it producing a high enough n before repeating the sequence when adding to itself mod p."

Yes. As for p and n, and don't know exactly, only that that's their denotation.

Yeah... At least that's what I hope 🤣

"Where possible, it would be nice to get some motivation. Why this procedure, instead of something else? What exactly is this accomplishing?"

Man, I don't even know that myself (yet). I'm simply trying to accrue the necessary"facts" in the right order, and form it into a sort of "canvas" to work off of, to try and have it make sense to me. 🥲

I know it's tough, and it's not even close to how broadly it could be written...

It makes you wonder how a supposedly single coder could think about all these intricacies, and have them not only make [functional] sense, but have it also weather every storm...

Mind. Blown.

I'm pushing close to a hundred hours on the first part and second draft alone... I'm happy to call it a day on those when it's done.

Argh! Life!

And?

Well, simply post about it and see who's into it as well, no?

There are enough territory's to choose from! 😜

What would you say qualifies as such?

Hah! I most likely will, but man: ECC and key derivation are tricky!

After that I'll move back to some of the easier stuff. Thanks. 😋😜

None. "occult, mind control, toxic food, bitcoin, the 7 sins, etc." might be some of the last things on their mind, whereas food, water, a safe-ish place to sleep and (likely) their next hit of whatever drug they're coping with will most likely be the very things they do have on their mind.

Yeah, it turned out quite fine indeed :)

Hm, I'll send you a draft and highlight the points I'd want your input on.

Hm, if you want to, we could "seed" an initial round or two--- from rewards 'till topics, as well as the winning conditions.

We could build upon the initial post covering this idea.

Since there wasn't any (real) input, we'd have to organize the whole thing from top- to bottom, and see what people like and don't like, as well as if there's any interest.

+1! We have a winner!

Oh? What are the next two goals that you want to reach with this one?
