Patch for bitcoin for systems with openssl, which is supporting ECC, but missing NID_secp256k1 (e.g. Fedora >= 20).

No need to recompile openssl or install compat libraries on Fedora >= 20.

bitcoin-0.8.5 and 0.8.6:

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.
