This is a Ruby binding for Bitcoin Core's secp256k1 library.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'secp256k1rb', require: 'secp256k1'And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install secp256k1rb
To use this library, you need to specify the path of the secp256k1 shared library in environment variable
SECP256K1_LIB_PATH, e.g: $ export SECP256K1_LIB_PATH=/var/local/lib/libsecp256k1.so.
Note: This library also implements the recovery module, so you must have built the secp256k1 library with the
--enable-module-recovery option.
By including the Secp256k1 module, you can use the features provided by the libsepc256k1 library. For example:
require 'secp256k1'
include Secp256k1
generate_key_pair
