I took the question to crypto.stackexchange.
http://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/18965/is-secp256r1-more-secure-than-secp256k1
Why would you do that (and bump this old thread) except for pure trolling purposes? Considering that fact that secp256r1 has unexplainable mystery parameters I can't imagine anyone outside of the NSA promoting it.
