Evil-Knievel is this algorithm related to your project over at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=929196.0 ?

I was looking at curve25519 and notice that it's starting parameter is x=9


I read that, but what is 'a' exactly? If it is an unknown constant, then how will I find when the said result will occur. Is it 1? Or does the value of a has no impact on the result (but it certainly does)? Or on calculation the value of 'a' will be given?

I think I did not understand the question properly. Huh

That I cannot answer. I'm currently doing some reading on the curves and trying to see what I can get out of it. (so far not much Wink)

But I know nothing about coding. I am trying kind of mathematically. It is okay, right?

Hereby I am offering a bounty of 30 BTC
to the first one solving the following mathematical problem either mathematically or using an algorithm:

I just need OP to tell me whether the results I got are correct or not to proceed any further. I want to be sure whether I am in the correct understanding of it or not.




Thanks for the link. Now i think 'a' is a value input by the user.
