funny how secp256k1 is given an "unsafe" rating by "safecurves" while 25519 is somehow awesome and quantum resistant and everyone is hyping quantum resistance and all this shit

yet secp256k1 and sha256 have stood for 16 years, invulnerable

maybe satoshi was inspired by God

maybe the crypto primitives he chose were already known by more advanced intelligences to be far beyond any reach of the enemy's technology

also i have been lookin into hash functions, i have reason to believe that the salsa/chacha/blake family might actually be suspect, they depend heavily on compression functions which are not inherently irreversible

satoshi chose a koblitz curve for a reason. it's deterministic, you can't backdoor it
