What are s1, k1, r1, x1 and z1? Natural numbers? Numbers on a curve? If so which curve? Which number is which coordinate?
And stuff like this..

These are parameters from the curve known as “Secp256k1”. s is a number that goes along with the random point. It's calculated from z which is the hash (number) of the message we want to sign. k is the random number we introduce each time for our signature. r is k times G. I had never seen x before interiawp started their forum career, so it may be unofficial. They mean the private key, but I know it's symbolized by the letter d.

The signature is [r, s].
I know they're talking about secp256k1, that's what I hinted to, but I wanted to hear it from them Cheesy I find it weird to start off a question like that, especially if you just say it's a 'math calculation problem' and don't introduce anything, just put out some formulas out there.
