Switch secp256k1 dependency #708
Closed
Description
@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Consider switching from https://github.com/ludbb/secp256k1-py to https://github.com/ofek/coincurve as the former is no longer maintained.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
