i know how things work with keypairs
just your title, description and explainer didnt match each other of where you put the message

Hey Franky

I wasn't explaining Keypairs, but how my system works. Your previous comment implied that I didn't know how ECC works, and I'm sure you can tell that's not true. It makes sense for me to include the full context to the post


I am not trying to be argumentative, but I believe I have included all the information, answered everyone's questions, and did so completely, and politely.


As I said, the tweaking doesn't need to take place on private keys initially, so I was simply clearing up that fact. I can start with a public key, and this would be the process if you were creating an address for someone else, rather than yourself. Therefore your comment above "you do know private key is pre ECC and Public key post"... in order to clarify.


"just your title, description and explainer didn't match each other of where you put the message"  - How so? A public key is used to derive an address, and therefor the message is part of the address, and can be validated against it?

Explaining complex subjects isn't a strong point of mine, but I think I've done an OK job of it, considering the article wasn't for a technical audience, and my follow up comments clear things up. Happy to take on any constructive criticisms or otherwise
