This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (secp256k1) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
secp256k1-node
This module provides native bindings to ecdsa secp256k1 functions. This library is experimental, so use at your own risk. Works on node version 0.10 or greater.
Installation
If you have gmp installed secp256k1 will use it. Otherwise it should fallback to openssl.
