+Could this be looked at again?
+
+Last response was waiting for feedback from crypto implementors.
+
+Currently secp256k1 is supported in the following SSL/TLS libraries now
+Botan
+NSS
+openssl
+LibreSSL
+PolarSSL
+JSSE
+
+The three other curves are all all have parameters which do not define how
+they
+were generated. secp256k1 curve has some great advantages in faster
+signature
+verification and how the values were determined for the curve. (i.e. not
+random).
+
+http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4492
+
+The curve has had a lot of eyes on it with lots of hardware and software
+supporting this curve.
+
+With discovery of backdoor's in NIST's random number generator
+(https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/11/the_strange_sto.html ) I
+would
+like to see a determined parameter curve instead of a "random" curve option.
+
+Thanks
