This has what to do with CP?

Elliptic curves have plenty to do with cryptography.  A web search should
turn up some useful information.  It's really quite fascinating if you can get
past some of the heavy math.  A tad more relevant to cpunks than black
helicopters, conspiracy theories, and such.

Yeah, horrible seeing people talk about cryptography on Cyphercesspit.
