I noticed a higher variance in my benchmark than I was used to and re-run the experiment in a more controlled environment (gcc 10.2.0). I did not find a performance...

I added a commit to reduce the batch verification randomizers to 128 bits. This gives up to [a 9% speedup](https://gist.github.com/jonasnick/c346898da36017d4b261b8135037c9c7).

I'm intending to remove the batch verification speedup graph from BIP-340 and instead place it in libsecp's doc directory. Therefore, I added a commit that allows recreating said graph ([originally...

I think "features that are used by Bitcoin Core now or a have a good chance to be used by Bitcoin Core in the future" is a good rule. Experimental...

The appeal of serving Core only is that no one needs to decide what counts as important to the Bitcoin ecosystem and ensures that this continues to be a small...

As @sipa @real-or-random and I discussed in person, we could document the scope in the `README.md` or a (to be added) `CONTRIBUTING.md`. Similar to the scope, we should mention the...

> I propose doing this before the release. Concept ACK. Do you also want to add an entry to the ChangeLog, similar to #1126?

I don't think "initialized for signing" is very confusing (it would be clearer if the flag was explicitly mentioned). The flag is not deprecated after all. Also the static context...

@real-or-random > As all contexts behave like the SIGN flag did in the past, I'd still say that the right way to document this is to deprecate all flags expect...

Sounds reasonable, I agree.
