## Description
Remove secp256k1 as discussed in the tendermint dev call. The implementation has been moved to the [Cosmos-SDK](443e0c1f89/crypto/keys/secp256k1)
Closes: #XXX
## Description
This PR aims to make the crypto.PubKey interface more intuitive.
Changes:
- `VerfiyBytes` -> `VerifySignature`
Before `Bytes()` was amino encoded, now since it is the byte representation should we get rid of it entirely?
EDIT: decided to keep `Bytes()` as it is useful if you are using the interface instead of the concrete key
Closes: #XXX
* switch from fork (tendermint/btcd) to orig package (btcsuite/btcd); also
- remove obsolete check in test `size != -1` is always true
- WIP as the serialization still needs to be wrapped
* WIP: wrap signature & privkey, pubkey needs to be wrapped as well
* wrap pubkey too
* use "github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/crypto/secp256k1" if cgo is
available, else use "github.com/btcsuite/btcd/btcec" and take care of
lower-S when verifying
Annoyingly, had to disable pruning when importing
github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/ :-/
* update comment
* update comment
* emulate signature_nocgo.go for additional benchmarks:
592bf6a59c/crypto/signature_nocgo.go (L60-L76)
* use our format (r || s) in lower-s form when in the non-cgo case
* remove comment about using the C library directly
* vendor github.com/btcsuite/btcd too
* Add test for the !cgo case
* update changelog pending
