Description

@ofek

@ulope told me the Ethereum sphere has interest in supporting Windows.

Consider switching from https://github.com/ludbb/secp256k1-py to https://github.com/ofek/coincurve as the former is no longer maintained.

New features include:

  • Cleaner API
  • Uses newest version of libsecp256k1
  • Support for Windows
  • Linux, macOS, and Windows all have binary packages for both 64 and 32-bit architectures
  • Linux & macOS use GMP for faster computation
  • Endomorphism optimization is enabled
  • A global context is used by default, drastically increasing performance
  • Fixed ECDH
  • A fix to remove CFFI warnings
  • Implements a fix for https://bugs.python.org/issue28150 to support Python 3.6+ on macOS
