Hi, i'm looking at the source and wondering the opinion of the authors on adding the secp256k1 algorithm. I've not implemented an ecc algorithm, but would be interested to know what it will take to implement it and if there are any pointers to what I would need to change. For example, does it require changing scalar values from one of the existing algos, or is it more involved? Also, I was looking for a reference such as http://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/nist-routines.pdf, but wasn't able to access it, do you know of any references for the secp256k1 algorithm?
Update: I was able to find other implementations, e.g. https://github.com/kmackay/micro-ecc
