ok, also what is the reasoning behind serialising points using a compressed=
 format before going into the hash function? I'm looking at the sec1-v2.pdf=
 and the compression format is a little confusing.=0A=0AI think the octet s=
tring for X is 32 bytes (using q =3D curve.order) and secp256k1 is a prime =
field so we follow step 2.2.1=0A=0A=0A________________________________=0AFr=
