Info

====

This tool allows you to take a redeemScript as a template and, using basic

EC math, replace public keys with ones which are only spendable by the original

key's private key holder and which cryptographically commit to the contract

hash specified. In this way, it provides a transparent and undetectable way of

sending payments which commit to some data without adding extra data to the

chain. It does, however, require some small amount of out-of-band communication.

This implements the neccessary parts of appendix A of the sidechains whitepaper,

though it is generally useful in many other cases.

To build

========

Install https://github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1
