Private Public key cryptography.

I barely understand it.

Check out learnmeabitcoin

“In short, the unique s value provides a pathway for getting to the randomly-generated point r.

You can give these two pieces of information to someone else, and starting from the public key point Q they can use the s value to help them get to the random point r. The trick here is that only the person with the corresponding private key d could create a valid pathway to this random point provided by s.

This pathway also has the message hash z encoded in to it, which is what effectively allows us to create signatures for messages; nobody can create the pathways from the public key to a random point on the curve via the message hash without knowing the private key it was created from.”

learnmeabitcoin is the dankest educational resource

Greg is a gem

💯💯Amazing that it is free

What a resource

i did too, not nearly enough for all that i've learned from it!

its actually crazy how long it's been up too.

I sent him some corn - "buy me a beer" quite awhile ago .... now at least a couple of kegs
