Recently, I was quite surprised, when I saw that there are six different n-values, matching different b-values in secp256k1:
Code:
+-----+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| b   | n                                                                   |
+-----+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 0x1 |  0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffe06f23032560e83e138ea6fc857fb4794 |
| 0x2 | 0x1000000000000000000000000000000014551231950b75fc4402da1712fc9b71f |
| 0x3 |  0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff4c43534ba6c5e3a57918113a87c50283 |
| 0x4 | 0x100000000000000000000000000000000b3bcacb4593a1c5a86e7eec3783af5dd |
| 0x6 | 0x100000000000000000000000000000001f90dcfcda9f17c1ec7159035a804b0cc |
| 0x7 |  0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffebaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd0364141 |
+-----+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
How come from this n value?
Where do you get this n value?
