- bonestamp2 7y agoSeems like the typical heist movie at first, but the main action arc is just to steal the hardware key. Steeling the actual (digital) coins is then the most boring part of the film.
- whoopdedo 7y agoThat's why you make the thieves be white-hats hired by the government to steal the key. Then it becomes a cloak-and-dagger affair where you have to unravel who's working for who and which side is really the bad guy. And decrypting cryptocoins is too obscure. For maximum effect, make the key able to break all encryption.

- chowells 7y agoYes? When someone puts some effort into making an indirect reference like that, they appreciate their work having been noticed. That's the role my comment was performing.
- garmaine 7y agoWe know this not to be true. The origins of the secp256k1 curve used to be nothing up my sleeve numbers for the parameters which matter.
