The post was off topic. In that thread, the OP is asking about secp256k1 and its security properties in regards to ECDH. Yet in your post, you do not talk about secp256k1 and its security properties. Instead you have decided to say that you don't understand the math (which is entirely unhelpful to the OP) and then go on to talk about things that you want and projects that you are doing. This is completely off topic for that thread, therefore it was deleted.
You are talking stupid. public static readonly BigInteger P = "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEFFFFFC2F".HexToBigInteger();
public static readonly ECPoint G = ECPoint.DecodePoint("0479BE667EF9DCBBAC5......FFB10D4B8".HexToBytes());
public static readonly BigInteger N = "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEBAAEDCE6AF48A03BBFD25E8CD0364141".HexToBigInteger(); The code as you know comes from secp256k1 and you need to go back and delete half the forum if you are insisting that comments only relate to strictly answering anything the OP has said or in this case is trying to explain. Conversation wonder you know so you better come up with better shit than this because I am not taking it. |

 I thought the plan was for you to post the posts I deleted and have me explain them. Or did I get my threads mixed up? OK number one from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3371680.new#newA reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted. Are you talking about this "G" public static readonly BigInteger P = "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEFFFFFC2F".HexToBigInteger();
public static readonly ECPoint G = ECPoint.DecodePoint("0479BE667EF9DCBBAC5......FFB10D4B8".HexToBytes());
public static readonly BigInteger N = "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEBAAEDCE6AF48A03BBFD25E8CD0364141".HexToBigInteger(); I don't get all the maths behind the curve and use some cheesy function to encrypt the keys during key exchange which is all but useless since the project is open source (Will keep ISP's out) so maybe I should look more into what your saying here. What i am desperate for is encryption that will work on 5k -2mb blocks that is fast and is not bloated to death or uses calls into windows black box code like happens with DES/AES because it seems to be missing from the internet. Byte shift is fast Date[f]=Crypto[Date[f]]; but using Maths.Mod is too slow for what i need. Currently I have got something that looks like >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ABC>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<XYZ<<<<<<<<<<< I could throw in some byte swap in the vertical axis but even then I don't think it would be fantastic so it looks like I am stuck for now. |

The Curve25519 offers 128 bits of security and designed especially for use with ECDH. It is one of the fastest elliptic curves, fits all security requirements and is not covered by any known patents. The Secp256k1 has some weaknesses and is more slow, but it offers 256 bits of security. Which of the elliptic curves is more secure for using with Diffie–Hellman key agreement protocol: Curve25519 or Bitcoin's secp256k1?
I just about get the ECPOINT and use secp256 myself but this Curve25519 sounds even better so would you work with me so that I can put a wrappers around it so that I can give it a go please. if you can knock up some code in say C++ or skin out the maths and flow then maybe I can use it. |

Microsoft word documents (.DOC) are easy to infect as are Excel spread sheets because as well as running macro's they can contain
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code which will allow the program within the document to scan you files or download a program and install it as a service.
Most the time you are safe, running scripts is turned off but long time users of Windows would already have noticed that things
get turned on by themselves because spy-master general at Microsoft has to ensure that we get infected from time to time so
fingers are not pointed towards them.
Make no mistake people I could write a program that would 50/50 be able to gain access to your private keys if your running
wallets on a windows machine and you could make that number 10/90 when it comes to Microsoft gaining access to your keys and
upload them during the nigh.
I would class myself as a windows expert on top of being a MCSD and even I often switch to Linux on a pen-stick just to play
with dust and will someone tell the OP that there is naff all wrong with bikers and that riding a bike does not blow your balls off.

FUDding something does not get discredited. It will be reported depending on the severity but then again more shills will arrive.
But you don't understand because it's me around here that's being called the troll and shill because I point out that Bitcoin has gone bad as if you need telling after miners ripped us off for $55 in transaction fees a few months ago. I offer reasoned debate to back up what i am saying, no hit and run and the FUD i am seeing is coming from paid agents here all with lots of brown nose merit points talking bullshit like "Can the world live without Bitcoin" Just want a level playing field I do and not "he's a homophobic" because I bat on the right side. |

considering you as a MOD, well, I think it's not that bad if you became one, but still many members will fall into misery as they've been put into ignore by you  Wot you mean like a mod that does not give a shit ? Like I am all for it, too many people around here have vested interests so where do we vote. |

So how does that work with me who's in the lions den and does not go around patting people on the bum and whispering
sweet things in there ears about Bitcoin going to the moon, it's the best thing since sliced bread.
Forum = Open debate and unbiased moderators
Merits = Brown nose points, zero real debate.
If you want the place to become one big advert then keep going the way you are going but the butter will be spread on
so think that even a blind man will see it.

Anti-Censorship (Not your average troll)

Yes, I kind of agree with you in this, this countries has been a good market encourager for bitcoin industry for years and in a flash went banning the use of it! what the heck it made the market crazy and went down.. After what they did there has been many other countries that followed the banning of bitcoin................
But they have no excuse and just like Bit-Torrent they knew from day one that governments would try to ban it, it was apparently already baked in the cake and when the claim was tested, well apparently it crashed the price but i think it's more of an excuse than anything myself since we all know how to use VPN's and the price crash is as a result of the crazy mining fees we had a few months ago. Blame anyone but as soon as you start pointing the finger at the development team and miners (Same thing rally) then you soon start ruining into walls. |

But most people posting here are paid agents at best, puppet trolls at worse because they are running adverts in the footers of each post they make
and it's is these types of accounts that talk FUD all day long on the main forum and keep pumping old outdated posts back to the top of the forum.
It's starting to look like Twatter on BCT where bots are talking to bots, I know because I wrote one for twatter years ago after the political correct
censorship kicked in.
Just saying like.

you use a QR code to move the pre-signed transaction from the air gapped computer which has no access to internet in anyway.....
QR-Codes are like a red flag to a bull and says "Read me, i am a password" to the O/S Your not selling any old 286/486 machines are you running NT 4 with a 10baseT network card are you because I think we need to go back to them days to own one of these things they use to call a "personal computer" CD-Rom, no updates, just service pack II, lovely days. |

Yay! Another bounty spammer bites the dust.
Your an odd one you are ! I can see clearly that you are not kissing butt here to gain merits so you are like me but i hardly get any merits (As you would expect) and I am not sure that I get my fair share of these s-merits to hand out so what gives ? |
|
|
|

Clearly the merit system is being abused here and it goes back to needing points to run adverts in page footer with the
space being limited by byte size being rewarded by merits and I have noticed myself that some poster here are running more
than one account, talking FUD just to keep awarding themselves brown nose points.
Years ago I tripped up ebay because whole gangs were selling each other feedback so maybe I should point some code at this
site and publish the results for all to see.

Once the monthly wage is gone from a mobile wallet, those people will lose all trust into cryptos (even if their mobile is at fault).
A few of such cases would lead to a huge wave of criticism towards cryptos in general.
I don't know for sure but so far Bitcoin itself seems to have held up quite well when it comes to security but as I understand it if a lightning wallet transmits an out of date transaction to the network then the banking hub can claim all the money in the off-chain private ledger. Thing is who do you call if it was not your fault and how can you compete against bankers rules since they have full access to the protocol that won't be available to normal wallets. Down the road I see the hubs being attacked if they start taking peoples wages and they are all single points of failure so looking at the LN map https://lnmainnet.gaben.win/ whats going to happen if one of these big hubs gets taken down by Annon |

I think your understanding is fundementally wrong. Decentralised means that there is no central authority that governs Bitcoin.
No my understanding is perfectly fine and having 90% of the 20,000 miners being controlled by the ten top mining pools is not decentralized at all and that leaving the Lightning Network debate aside. https://blockchain.info/poolsMarket forces did not work when it came to Tx fees as they hit $55 per transaction with these 20,000 miners so obviously it's nothing more than a monopoly. One million wallets all helping to maintain the network "Free of charge" is what you call decentralized, never mind what we have here but the other big mistake is you need to separate the coin from the network. You seem to be trying to find faults (without proposing actual viable alternatives) EVO/IOTA/Ripple/RailHash/DAC Take your pick and they are all faster and cheaper, all with there own faults so maybe you would like to find fault now ! |

I believe that if we stop paying fees to them [who basically should be considered as mediators without whom the network's use will go idle if they stop doing it]
But "mediators" would imply trust and we all know that Bitcoin is trustless right and I don't mind paying $0.10 per meg like we get with mobile data but that's about all. Bitcoin is so over priced that it's priced in bytes, not gigabytes like we buy today and if other coins can maintain the network for $0.001 per transaction then that's the going rate, compete or be replaced. |

Ues hackers really active right now.They fastly move because they knows that the market are in a good condition which the value was growing up stronger.
And next week it will be going down again which will force the hackers who store money in Bitcoins to start earning a living again instead of just relying on the appreciation of the Bitcoins they hold. You can carry on dreaming now ! |

Bitcoin started out being used for buying weed, sex and gambling but then hackers used it to get paid
from ransomware attacks and know it or not but Tor software itself was instrumental in the spread of the
WannaCry virus (You have been warned)
Contracts are being sold on Tor by add-servers to fake click lots of Pay-Per-Click (PPC) adverts and again
payment is made usual using Bitcoins so I guess "Financial Freedom" and hacking just go hand in hand.
BTC was subject to a lot of hacks just after launch so who do you think was doing it and what do you think will
happen to the new lightning network banking hubs now they have become a single point of failure if your coins
are held in the off-block private ledgers.
Banks are going to attacking banks and disgruntled bank customers are going to be hacking the lightning network
and I was laughed at years ago for pointing out the banks could pump-en-dump Bitcoins but today we call them
whales to side step the argument that I predicted years in advance.

Decentralized mean user can all share the load, fees are not necessary so at the very best Bitcoin is semi-decentralized
and that's without the on going changes with the Lightning Network and ignoring the mining pools which is a result of
PoW and mining coins in the first place.
Bitcoin solved one problem and created ten more in it's place.
