But secp256k1 still needs a blessing from Red Hat Legal. See BZ#1021898.

This will not happen soon. RH was given the permission from the NSA to use the NIST curves. Most of the EC curves have patents (Certicom) on their speedup implementation. The NSA acquired the rights for the NIST curves from Certicom, if I am not mistaken. So RH will only ever provide the NIST curves, until the legal situation is clear.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_patents

check this out: http://harald.hoyer.xyz/files/bitcoin-0.10.0-1.fc21.src.rpm .. bitcoind without openssl-compat on F21 .. only with libsecp256k1

Someone built 0.10.0 with a highly bastardized version of my 0.8.5 specfile? And also disabled a bunch of stuff, like bitcoin-qt, libbitcoinconsensus, the command line utilities...

I'll have a play later with whatever this process actually builds, and see if it can be better integrated. But the real holdup isn't libsecp256k1, it's Red Hat Legal.

Yeah, sorry.. I just wanted the server without any openssl modifications.

Patch for bitcoin for systems with openssl, which is supporting ECC, but missing NID_secp256k1 (e.g. Fedora >= 20).

No need to recompile openssl or install compat libraries on Fedora >= 20.

bitcoin-0.9.0 and git HEAD:
