Do NOT dare to use this code in any serious project! This is literally me rolling my own crypto STRICTLY FOR EDUCATION PURPOSE. If you use this code without review by a team of cryptography experts knowledgeable about Rust I WILL PUBLICLY SHAME YOU AND DECLARE YOU AS A SCAMMER. I will also do everything in my power to help your victims to sue you. If you need secp256k1 library for serious project, use libsecp256k1
It's probably clear from the warning now: this is an implementation of secp256k1 in pure idiomtic Rust for educational purposes.
I wrote it to teach myself about secp256k1/ECC.
If you want to learn too, I recommend writing your own - better than getting it on silver plate.
However you may use this as a cheat sheet in case you get stuck.
But from my experience it was great to not use any cheat sheet.
So if you get stuck, get a break and try it next day - worked well for me.
I only reused U256 type and avoided writing one particular algorithm by hand - not going to spoil you. :)
Good luck!

By using this software for any non-educational purpose you agree to be publicly ridiculed, mocked, shamed and described as a "scammer" or "fraudster" by me or anyone else unless you demonstrate that a team of experienced cryptographers with deep knowledge of Rust reviewed the code and deemed it secure. In case of doubt you may reach out to me and ask whether I find your particular case acceptable.
