   If you look at the cryptokit API docs the Secure Enclave essentially only supports P-256. Which is maybe why they didn’t include ECC crypto in the examples.

   I’ve often wondering how are these bits set? Like can you do it from Swift? Or need assembly?

   On reading it seems a lib like libsodium can simply set the disable bit prior to cryptographic operations that are sensitive on M3 and above. Also looks like they need to predetermine aspects of the key. Very cool but I don’t think it looks

   Does cryptocurrency have any useful use cases?

   No I don’t agree. That is outrageous.

    Very cool thanks!

    Isn’t it really hard to use though? Like you need decomposed Linux bits.

    Cool! What’s the difference between Virtualisation.framework and Hypervisor.framework?

    Cryptocurrency is by definition, an open transparent market and as such not a Ponzi scheme. Quite literally by definition. Also many of the current cryptocurrencies run on tiny amounts of energy (Algorand, Cardano). Some of the brightest mi

    interesting thanks, seems more user friendly largely than init.d though, maybe I'm just a Linux noob.

    By definition cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Monero, Ether etc, are not a pyramid-scheme.

    What a nothing burger of an article. The author cannot see value in self-sovereign, censorship resistant, permission-less monetary systems, fine, however, to claim "crypto" is dangerous nonsense because "fraud" is ridicu

    Precisely. Not sure why the pseudo intellectuals of HN don’t get it.

    You need to spend more time thinking about this. You’ll end up realising that the value lies in self sovereign, permissionless money. Tech like Monero. The debt ceiling grows every day.

    I should clarify, not the curves generator, but the generator of the cyclic subgroup of the curve we work in.
