Introducing UltrafastSecp256k1: A Multi-Architecture Exploration of Secp256k1 Optimizations

The sender is seeking technical audit and feedback for their cryptographic project, specifically regarding the cryptographic primitives and their constant-time implementation. They express a concern regarding the feasibility of community members reviewing an extensive codebase that spans over 150,000 lines, available for scrutiny at GitHub. The main critique offered pertains to the choice of license for the project. It's emphasized that the adoption of the Affero General Public License (AGPL) diverges from the predominant licensing norm within the Bitcoin ecosystem, which is the MIT license. This deviation is highlighted as a significant barrier, potentially precluding the integration or use of their code within existing projects in the ecosystem, even if there was an interest in doing so. The email implies a recommendation for reconsidering the licensing strategy to ensure better alignment with the broader Bitcoin system's practices and to enhance the project's compatibility and potential for adoption.
