This is interesting – this is the first HSM that I've seen that advertising support for Bitcoin's secp256k1. Most every true HSM only support NIST's ECDSA secp256r1 which our community does not trust. I'll have to study datasheet to see if this is truly doing k1 signing on HSM. https://twitter.com/nitrokey/status/1106579388236267521

I'm a bit confused as the @Nitrokey spec only of the stm32f103r8 chip, which doesn't seem to be a tamper-resistant chip and thus not truly an HSM. Am I missing something? https://www.st.com/resource/en/datasheet/stm32f103r8.pdf
