Is it possible to use browser's crpyo primitives with bsv library?

I have some code that does a lot of HD derivation and ECIES encryption/decryption and I noticed that it runs quite slow in the browser. I did some profiling and it seems that it spends most of the time in the libraries that handle primitives (sha256 hashing, big int, …).

This makes sense as it seems that we have this primitives natively in node, but we need to use libraries in the browser. I did some Googling and it seems that newer browsers do have some support for this things so I was wondering if it is possible to use that when available? I suspect that would speed up things significantly?

I am thinking about browser’s native APIs such as SubtleCrypto and BigInt. Or even an Emscripten-compiler Javascript library such as js-nacl.

Is there a @money_button signup template I can use on my page for people to receive one of my tokens, either for my newsletter, membership or services offered?

I would like to introduce my stakeholders to a signup process into our bitcoin systems and I would like to have a landing page where I could make my own moneybutton signup process to receive the MBID in my system in order to send a token for that specific signup part. My goal would be have follow up ages where they provide more and more information for the exchange of API information tokens. Questions: Could it be tokens with a unique identifier that can only be used with the owner of MBID and associated tokenID in order to progress to the next page? In what way could a datapoint be statistically useful and still keep its full privacy? Each interest group like opensource@moneybutton.com is initiated and funded with $ 50 as ideating tokenholder under thefastcompany@moneybutton.com.

Provide examples of multi-sig scripts

What are the possible Bitcoin scripts to create a multi-sig transaction? Please provide the script code with explanations.

I would like to see at least two types of such scripts explained (OP_CHECKMULTISIG and the one with conditional OP_IF statements that Steve Shadders showed at this CoinGeek Seoul presentation). If there are more options, please list them as well.

To Bitcoin or not

Bitcoin is all good and well and I am also invested in it. My question is what will happen when governments take control of Bitcoin? Look what happened way back on April 5, 1933 when Roosevelt declared all privately owned gold illegal. Will this happen again? If so, then is Bitcoin the alternative?
