I have been working on a paper for some time.  At the end of this I am
looking at the use of secp256k1 in crypto currencies.  This has been a
problem to figure out how these things get the private key.  I picked up the
source code and although not a programmer I can sift through the Sanskrit
OK.  I cannot find this portion of the code in the H files.  Nor have I
found any explanation as to how one generates a private key.  I downloaded
this:

After 24 hours messing with it I see that it is giving the right numbers.
What I do not see is how the thing gives a different private key over time.
The only thought I have is that it does some type of get time in
milliseconds and then does some process.   Does anyone have any knowledge on
this?

 

Thanks, Dave Paxton
