<theStack>
sipa: thanks, good to know. that explains why there are PRs around implementing elligator squared pubkeys (both in secp256k1 and bitcoin core), but no mention of it in the (obviously outdated) spec i read
<theStack>
bip324 question about handshake: in older slides (from breaking bitcoin 2019) i saw it was proposed that only odd pubkeys (i.e. starting with 0x03) are allowed, but the current BIP states only even pubkeys (i.e. starting with 0x02) are. any specific reason for this change?
<sipa>
And Bitcoin Core from back then cannot be used unmodified against today's OpenSSL's versions.
<sipa>
Well, it didn't happen with Bitcoin Core versions from 2014 linked against OpenSSL from 2014 and before.
<sipa>
but i believe that no version of bitcoin core (including very old ones) would emit such encodings
<sipa>
there are certainly DER private key encodings that are valid but bitcoin core today wouldn't be able to parse, as it doesn't have a full DER parser

<sipa>
it's not clear to me whether this is an issue for the bitcoin core codebase at all (includin historical versions)
<DavidBakin>
so that means someone with such a wallet can't in fact use a newer bitcoin core to read it?
<div72>
laanwj: You're right, I've encountered the issue in a downstream where OpenSSL was still being used. The chances of this affecting Bitcoin is pretty slim as a wallet from a 7y old version which needs to be compiled with a pre 3 recent OpenSSL version is needed.

div72: how do you even get a foreign key into that function? i don't think it's considered an issue because afaik, that function is only used for loading wallets, and it only supports the keys generated by bitcoin core itself
