decimation: I guess my question above (rephrased) is this: does the secp256k1 algorithm allow for any arbitrary 256 bit vector to be used as a key? Or is there a restricted set that will be more secure than other cases? <- exponent must be smaller than curve order, which is 0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffebaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd0364141 |

apparently the the prices they charge for these "ip cores" are highly negotiable depending on your account with them |

back to chip thread, for a spell - we're roughly in the situation of ancient china, which had printing but not movable type |

asciilifeform |
the closest thing anyone has conceived off to movable type re: chip design is the fpga concept. |
| 21:16 |
asciilifeform |
which is actually more analogous to a teletype (slow, ponderous, you would not want to print a book's print run on it) |
| 21:16 |
asciilifeform |
but indispensable for certain work. |
| 21:16 |

and it isn't 'movable type' in the sense that someone with a brain can arrange the internals to serve his needs |

asciilifeform |
the way i understand it, a 100% open fpga, produced in a thousand factories of mutually-antagonistic owners, is the one and only way to 'open computer.' |
