Is it against rules to post email addresses and What's App numbers in eBay style answers? I want to edit this until it can be deleted: bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/70248/75001
I'm trying to find a post where one of the Bitcoin developers described finding a bug in OpenSSL, which affected squaring a specific number on a specific architecture, where the developer described using a testing technique that they developed when they were working on an audio driver. Does anyone have a better memory or better google-fu?
I think it was written by Gregory Maxwell or Pieter Wuille.
@Willtech It's not forbidden, but editing resets some of the flags and review processes. In such a case please simply flag as spam, that is one that goes through very quickly.
Interestingly, Greg mentions that it's through doing something similar to what they did in the Opus codec, but to the best of my memory I was actually not aware of that until he posted this. Doing the biased-random-number testing approach was something I learned from the libgmp codebase, and replicated.
