RE: Why does steem use this canonical thing instead of strict secp256k1?

To clarify why I mentioned "it" took me 2years to figure it out.

  • I did not work full time on this project but in my spare time whenever I felt like dealing with crypto and not with my thesis.
  • it actually is the whole python-library stack that not only does the signing but also the serialization. I wanted it to be as flexible as possible and that is why it took so long.

I fully comprehend the volume of work you had to do and that's entirely what I disagree with.

The ecosystem would be much larger if these things were less mysterious. Imagine that you'd been able to get it finished in a month-- imagine what you might've built then?
