	[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/bitcoin-core/secp256k1.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/bitcoin-core/secp256k1)			Optimized C library for cryptographic operations on curve secp256k1.
	MengerianAuthorUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions @jasonbcox Is there some link we could use for the equivalent information for Bitcoin ABC's automated builds? Mengerian: @jasonbcox Is there some link we could use for the equivalent information for Bitcoin ABC's…
	jasonbcoxUnsubmitted Not Done Inline Actions It's not a perfect comparison, but our default master CI config builds and tests libsecp256k1 in addition to bitcoind: https://build.bitcoinabc.org/viewType.html?buildTypeId=BitcoinABCMasterLinux If this build is green, so is libsecp256k1. That said, it would be pretty easy to move it to a stand-alone build (see `contrib/teamcity/build-configurations.sh`) jasonbcox: It's not a perfect comparison, but our default master CI config builds and tests libsecp256k1…

	Optimized C library for EC operations on curve secp256k1.			This library is used for consensus critical cryptographic operations on the Bitcoin Cash network.

	This library is a work in progress and is being used to research best practices. Use at your own risk.
	FabienUnsubmitted Not Done Inline Actions Is there any possible legal consequence with this removal ? Fabien: Is there any possible legal consequence with this removal ?
	MengerianAuthorUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions I doubt it's an issue, but I can re-add the "Use at your own risk" statement. I will also add a bit more explanation of how the repository is maintained, so that people can understand what's going on. Mengerian: I doubt it's an issue, but I can re-add the "Use at your own risk" statement. I will also add…
