Could Stellar's ED25519 keys work with Bitcoin (in a forked network of course)?
Differences:
- EdDSA vs. ECDSA
- Curve25519 vs. SECP256K1
These follow a very similar process to bitcoin keys:
- Generate elliptic key pair
- Encode key pair
- Verify and sign stuff
I have a rough construction of ED25519 keys here: https://github.com/robertDurst/friendlierBot/blob/master/stellar_keypair/src/lib.rs
Here I will leave a list of potential changes to motivate the forking of this repo. This is not a list of Bitcoin improvements or even a list of logical/well-thought changes. This is mostly a list of interesting changes along the lines of "hey I am bored, it's a weekend night and I have no night plans or morning plans, I'd like to hack on Bitcoin."
If you have ever had that thought, this log is for you!
