do you have any update what the progress is on getting secp256k1 openssl support in the repos?
Still
blocked by Red Hat's legal department. They're afraid of ghosts under the bed, I guess. Though they did approve secp521r1 some time ago, so I guess maybe they're just really slow...
anyway bitcoin has it's own secp256k1 library on git now so there are other options
I'm going to be taking another look at Bitcoin's libraries with 0.10 and see what the best way to go is.
