Finally finished my Rust implementation of secp256k1 (elliptic curve) math today. Got burned by bugs in my Python implementation.
Some of my Python test cases were just the outputs of previous failed runs. That is, I ASSUMED my Python was correct and encoded that assumption in the unit tests. So when I ported the tests to Rust, the failed, even thought the Rust implementation was correct!
This #BOSS program has been quite the challenge. And I’m way behind. Should have been done with this part weeks ago. Combination of difficulty and life interventions.
Trying to remain positive. #Bitcoin
