gollark: Hmm. PotatOS is not, in fact, security™ in this instance.
gollark: I can ship SHA256 inline (i.e. copypaste into source code) as it's only 3KB to protect against *accidental* tampering, but ECC is a giant 30KB library.
gollark: I should probably deal with this.
gollark: Hmm. Troubling.
gollark: Maybe it should just not require verification if there's no ECC library installed yet? But I feel like that could be exploited.
