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.=C2=A0 secp256k1 curve has some great advantages in faster s= ignature
verification and how the values were determined for the curve.=C2=A0 (i.e. = not
random).

http://www.ie= tf.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" cu= rve option.

Thanks
