(Nothing worth replying to.)

What on earth made you think that I wanted the code to work with Bitcoin given that I often point
out that the design is wrong, hence it won't scale ?  Development here is not just about Bitcoin you know
so stop making yourself look silly with your ramblings

Oh, please.  Just because you’re stupid, don’t assume that I am—or that I was born yesterday.

(And I must ask, why do you post literally an average of 20 times per day on the Bitcoin Forum if you so loathe it?  Why yes, this forum is for Bitcoin development.)

But just in case any observer has any doubt about your transparent, juvenile excuse:  About 50 minutes after you started this thread, you posted substantially the same question in a different thread explicitly titled “Elliptic curve point of R” amidst discussion of secp256k1 (archive; red colour is added to highlight in the following):

With microsoft RSACryptoServiceProvider the Exponent always stays as "AQAB" on 512 bit key
and i need to work it out going backwards from public/private key pairs if I can and i think this
is based on the curve



I don't trust microsoft on anything and really just want something simple to generate
keys and the Exponent that written in C# without having much code.

Thus in the world according to Anti-Cen, RSA is explicitly “based on” a “curve”.

I should also note, anybody who uses 512-bit RSA for any purpose whatsoever is a moron.  512-bit RSA is breakable, not only in theory but as repeatedly demonstrated in reality.

Now, a clarification for those reading this:

Your reply does compute and you are angry about the price of your coins going down but you should
get out more from the church and read other development forums to see what they are saying instead
of trying to insult people because you lack the skill to debate and don't write code for a living

Just admit the question I asked went over your head and I know this might be hard for you
to understand but you know when I make a post because it usual will have my name at the top of it.

Here, you are replying to your own words which you directed at me on 2018-01-02 11:36:57.  Don’t put words in my mouth.

I quoted you with proper attribution in the post to which you replied.  But you habitually strip attribution from quotes; and it is evident that you here confused yourself.

Regardless—really, regardless—I will handily admit that the question of how to use 512-bit RSA objects for Bitcoin secp25k1 ECDSA keys does indeed go over my head.  Whoosh.


You edited your post immediately after you posted it.  Following is the original version; I replied to the latest version I have seen.  Please be advised that I am archiving this thread.  (Edit:  Thus far, snapshots at web.archive.org: 0, 1, 2, 3 and archive.is: 0, 1, 2, 3.)

Now shoo, go away.

He has now gone from flaunting arrogant ignorance to self-satirizing it.  As if it were not enough to posit that CPUs were useful for Bitcoin mining, which has not been the case for over half a decade:

Not my fault if your in love with an outdated steam engine is it now

That is one of the stupidest ideas I have ever seen in my whole life; and it has plenty of competition between the four corners of this world.

Hope you liked stalking me, I am cool with it because I eat little me like you for breakfast who's only concern
is their "Investment" playing the slot machine
