Hi,

I'd like to know if there is ppl that would like to help to develop a Javascript Taproot Address Generator for Browser.

I have been working on that since some time and the idea is to make the simplest address generator possible in a standalone file, without using complicated libraries full of code that makes any guy just want to trust and not verify.

The lines of code contained in popular libraries are complex and very extensive. But there is a reason for that.

They aren't complex to make you confused when verifying.  They are complex because they are tested,  secure, efficient and accurate.

You shouldn't spend your time reinventing the wheel. This is not how new techs evolve.

By doing what those professional libraries do in your own way, you will probably create an insecure and inefficient software.

For learning purposes you are making a nice initiative.  But only for that.

Look how they are tested, secure, efficient and accurate:

That is what I have being trying to explain, we can always do it better if we study it enough, we need one simple, auditable official core APP just to generate addresses, not a core with gigas and gigas and using CSPNG's.
