Title: Coding private key to public key in python
Post by: release on February 09, 2021, 07:06:53 AM
I have successfully completed tests on btc using secp256k1 and base point for btc that is well known. I randomly generated private key and use it to create public key then address. It works fine and I learner a lot.

My question is for ethereum. I am wanting to do the same for eth as it also uses 256 bit private key and secp256k1 curve. I know in document for secp256k1 it tells us the recommended g point which is what btc uses but is the G point for with eth the same?

I assume so but just wanted to be sure.

Thanks
