So it's an actual algorithm change which brought these performance benefits? How come we don't find this in libsecp256k1 - Could your optimisations also be ported into libsecp? 🤔

> however, ironically, the ECDH is faster now, where core and btcec are about the same Might be a constant time thing?

More and more infrastructure for Silent Payments is being built and further improved, love to see it!

Does also work for signing binaries/packaged applications for desktop? #asknostr BlindBit Desktop alpha is quite soon™
