Remove BouncyCastle about nbitcoin HOT 5 CLOSED

I would like also to be honest. But I don't think it is possible, don't forget that the portable lib depends even more of BC for some encryption/hash purposes. I don't think it will be easy.

Secp256k1 is not enough sadly.
Secp only check signatures, Bitcoin need other stuff like SHA calculation, DES, AES, and need to work in portable lib where you can't use MS security layer.

I too like the idea. However, its a big risk. Bouncy is has been in the wild for a long time. Before this project, I tried to code everything myself (just for the challenge) and found myself just using BC in the end.

I agree with you both. A lot of risky work just to end writting our own crypto library. It doesn't worth. Thank you.

I have noticed Legion of Bouncycastle release a
Release 1.8.1, 28th December 2015

A verification of fixed bug/issue should be done against feature used by
NBitcoin.
