elliptic curve is a type signing algorithm (like blake2b or sha). if you dont understand what an EC is i dont think you also understand why rolling your own would be a bad idea. the wallet/account seed (your post is semantics in my opinion, whichever seed it is you can only use once, which is a flaw) is directly related again to this issue.
- nix23 6y agoIts not a elliptic curve but was a type of winternitz (Curl-P) before, then blackhat came: https://i.blackhat.com/us-18/Wed-August-8/us-18-Narula-Heilman-Cryptanalysis-of-Curl-P-wp.pdf https://i.blackhat.com/us-18/Wed-August-8/us-18-Narula-Heilm... And then they changed it....and no you create a iota seed just like that: cat /dev/urandom |tr -dc A-Z9|head -c${1:-81} And talking about scam....ethereum-classic? Bitcoin-cash? Your talking about a flaw when you just can use a receiving seed once? Please just read the DAG article, and understand what winternitz-ots means hint (one time signing) EDIT: Here the winternitz paper: https://eprint.iacr.org/2011/191.pdf https://eprint.iacr.org/2011/191.pdf
