Hello all,

Is the dual elliptic curve algorithm mentioned in 
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/20/nsa-internet-security-rsa-secret-10m-encryption 
from 2 days ago, of any concern to Bitcoin? I only ask, since I don't follow the field closely, but I see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_DSA 

Is this a concern for Bitcoin, or is this all "old news"?

Ron

It is irrelevant.
